looking at your future through a new lens

  • Coaching

    Coaching comes in many forms and may include Leadership, Executive, Business, Life or Transition Coaching.

    It’s a proven way to unlock potential and maximize performance, by helping you learn, not by telling you what to do. Coaching facilitates self-development as well as personal and professional growth.

  • Mentoring

    Mentoring provides guidance, a sounding board for new ideas and perspectives on life and career, from a more experienced person who provides feedback and advice for your further career development.

    A mentor introduces new ways of thinking, challenges limiting assumptions, shares valuable life lessons, and much much more.

  • Consulting

    Consultants help identify obstacles to growth or efficiency, ‌determining what changes are required and assist in implementing them.

    They bring new vision and fresh perspective to established businesses, help kickstart new business ideas, and can upskill and motivate staff to help breathe new life into existing businesses.

  • Training and Facilitation

    We write, develop, and facilitate training programmes to a diverse range of industries and professions, in Hong Kong, China, and across the Asia Pacific region. These include: Executive Presence, Strategic Story Telling, Influencing and Persuasion, Presentation Skills, Interpersonal Communication, Consultative Selling, Negotiation Skills and Cultural Intelligence.

Focus on the future.

We live in a VUCA world, a volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous connected society where change can be fast-paced, constant and unpredictable.

Rapid advances in technology have created an environment where the internet, smartphones, and social media are ubiquitous, and global events such as the 2008 financial crisis, the COVID pandemic, and, most recently, conflict in Ukraine, have increased the sense of turbulence, danger and unpredictability.

To prepare and cope means developing new skills, new strengths and new strategies. Talk to us, we can help you..

“I do attend a lot of seminars and viewed many training sessions. (As I am an internal trainer too.) This was indeed one of the best I had seen. Very practical and helpful.”

What my clients have said

“I was lucky enough to receive an hour of really high value business coaching a few weeks ago, I can highly recommend the work of eric sampson of Forward Focus Consulting - Eric cut straight to the point and helped me find really good ways to move through two key issues. Was a very valuable experience for me.”

“It was an incredibly valuable experience. The negotiation matrix provided a clear framework for negotiating effectively in any situation. What I appreciated most was that the speakers factored in various factors to consider under each category, making it applicable in real-life scenarios. The event was well-organized, engaging, and highly informative. I would highly recommend this event to anyone looking to improve their negotiation skills and achieve better outcomes in both their personal and professional lives.”

“This was an excellent virtual event that I thoroughly enjoyed. Eric was an amazing presenter and would highly recommend him to deliver more sessions.”

“Despite a decade of … experience, I needed critical review of my approach which was feeling stale and uninspiring. After just a few one-to-one sessions, Eric was able to understand my industry and my business needs and to identify the weaknesses in my .. style (and to reinforce my belief in my strengths). Suggestions for improvement were easy to implement and very effective, assisting in a significant client win for me not long after”

I have become a much better listener and hence gained respect as a leader..”
