Michael Tan

In 2017, I was named Appian's Solutions Consultant of the Year. By 2020, I had the senior role, the salary, and all the markers of success—yet I felt completely lost.

My physical and mental health declined, and I hit rock bottom in 2021 after a single work message triggered a panic attack. That moment became my wake-up call. I knew something had to change.

I hired a life coach—and it transformed everything. I found clarity, purpose, and freedom. I became healthier, calmer, and more aligned with who I truly am.

Now, as a life coach myself, I help others do the same: rebuild from burnout, break free from limiting patterns, and create a life that feels authentic and fulfilling.

If you're ready for real change, I'd love to be your guide on that journey.
