From the Thriving Business Network Podcast: Watch the Full Episode Here
In the latest episode of the Thriving Business Network Podcast, we had the honor of speaking with Aries Yeo, a transformative coach and advocate for authenticity. Drawing on her decades-long corporate experience, Aries works with women in leadership to help them reconnect with their true selves, embrace vulnerability, and thrive in both their personal and professional lives.
Meet Aries Yeo: From Corporate to Coaching
Aries’s journey into the coaching world was deeply personal. After spending over 20 years in banking, her life took a sharp turn in 2017 when she tragically lost her eldest son. This experience forced her to reflect on life’s meaning and her own purpose, leading her to step away from her corporate career.
“It’s not about money anymore,” Aries shares. “It’s about who I am, why I’m here, and the legacy I want to leave.”
This shift inspired Aries to pursue coaching, starting with performance coaching and eventually evolving into a focus on authenticity and self-discovery.
The Power of Authenticity
For Aries, authenticity is at the heart of everything she does. Her coaching approach helps women peel back the layers of societal expectations and reconnect with their core values.
“Life is like an onion,” she explains. “As we grow, the layers get thicker. My work is about helping women peel back those layers and rediscover their core.”
She emphasizes that while priorities may shift with time, our core values remain constant. Her clients often describe her as a compassionate guide who helps them navigate life’s transitions with clarity and confidence.
Empowering Women in Leadership
Aries focuses on working with women in corporate leadership roles, helping them lead with authenticity and emotional intelligence. She believes that vulnerability is not a weakness but a strength that fosters trust and connection within teams.
“When leaders embrace vulnerability, they inspire their teams to show up fully and bring their best selves to work,” Aries notes.
Through tools like personality assessments and communication strategies, Aries helps her clients understand themselves and their teams better, creating harmonious and productive work environments.
Turning Pain into Purpose
Aries’s personal story is one of resilience and transformation. While she initially avoided coaching parents due to the emotional triggers of her own loss, she now uses her experiences to inspire others. Her message is clear: our pain can become a powerful catalyst for growth and connection.
“Authenticity means embracing your whole story—the good, the bad, and everything in between,” she shares.
Vision for the Future
Looking ahead, Aries is focused on expanding her work to include group facilitation and organizational development. She’s passionate about creating cultures of diversity, inclusion, and authenticity within organizations.
“I want to take my one-on-one work to the next level by impacting entire teams and organizations,” she explains. “It’s about creating ripple effects of growth and transformation.”
Aries is also in the process of publishing her first book, which delves into the journey of unveiling authenticity and finding one’s true self.
