Our Mission

Most organisations know what needs to change. The harder problem is getting people to actually change — and sustain it under pressure.

Performance doesn’t break at the strategy level. It breaks in the room — in how leaders hold pressure, how teams navigate uncertainty, how change lands in people’s bodies, not just their heads.

At Intentionally Human, we work at that intersection: strategy, behaviour, and human capacity. By integrating ontological coaching, organisational consulting, and experiential learning — we help leaders and organisations move from intention to grounded action.

What We Do

Intentionally Human works across three interconnected domains:

For Organisations

We partner organisations through leadership changes, restructures, and organisation-wide shifts, helping them move from strategy to embodied and sustained change.

Strategy retreats · Leadership alignment · Culture design · Wellbeing coaching

For Teams

We help teams build the trust and adaptability to perform together under pressure and uncertainty — through movement practices and play-based methods like improvisational theatre, lego building, and puzzle play: experiential approaches that surface real team dynamics and turn them into action.

Team launches · Team coaching · Workshops & training

For Managers & Leaders

Managers and senior leaders often face huge pressure — expected to deliver results, lead diverse teams, and hold complexity — usually without enough support for themselves. We work with leaders to build the clarity, steadiness, and capacity to lead well without burning out.

Leadership development · Executive coaching · Burnout prevention · Strategic thinking.

What SOME OF our clients have said

The most amazing thing about Kai Ying, as I recall our sessions, was that she never once give me a suggestion or answer. She created a space that was safe and empowering, allowing me to discover the answers that I needed. Through the last month coaching with her, I found myself happier, with more clarity and direction.

Thank you Kai Ying.

I attended a few coaching sessions with Kai Ying and found them very useful.
Kai Ying was able to hold space and use skilful questioning to guide me (the client) towards new revelations in a very structured way. I also appreciated how she always kept the sessions outcome-focused so that I leave each session knowing exactly what I can work on next. Would definitely recommend.
