About Coach Steve Yang
My Story
I’m a Relationship Coach with 9 years of training and experience. My unique method combines the best from Transformational Coaching, Taoist principles of Balance, and Behaviorism and Reinforcement.
Through our coaching, we will push forward, relax and regroup, then push forward again. This repeating cycle is meant to maintain long-term stability while creating lasting change through consistent and persistent practice.
About Coach Steve Yang
I know that relationships can be hard. I’ve had a difficult childhood, and been through a sudden loss of a parent and then divorce that took years to heal from. I put in the work to identify and unlearn harmful patterns through taking ownership and responsibility over my life. Now, I have a rock-solid sense of self and communication skills that create a loving environment.
Let me show you that you don’t have to be defined by your past.
I understand both the value of living on the growing edge of your comfort zone, and also rest & recuperation. I’m most effective with people who have a growth mindset and are willing to put in the work. With me, we’ll not only get to the center of what’s stopping you, but also have a plan of action to get you to where you want to be!
I combine 9 years of Transformational Coach Training, 5 years as a Classroom Teacher, and decades as a martial arts practitioner, with the concepts of Behaviorism and Reinforcement. This creates a unique blend of coaching that acknowledges mental, emotional, and physical health as parts of an integrated whole.
With my support, you will get the skills to improve what’s most important: your relationships.
My Journey into Coaching
Due to my success and positive outlook, people are often surprised by my less-than-ideal upbringing: my parents got divorced when I was five, I grew up in a physically and emotionally abusive household, and I was ostracized at school because of my race. My sister fell into addiction and an abusive relationship, and my father passed away before I had the chance to build an adult relationship with him.
My path to self-awareness and self-development began in the aftermath of my divorce. I set off on an intense introspection of who I am and what I want, first collecting books on philosophy, psychology, and religion, and then registering for self-development courses & programs. I focused on communication, interpersonal relationships, and personal responsibility. Through this training, I discovered how essential and fundamental these skills are, and the joy it brings me when I cause that illumination in someone else.
