Hien DeYoung, CHIC, PCC
Hien brings a rare vantage point shaped by years of business experience and intimate observation of founders, executives, and boardroom dynamics. She understands how mindset, self-narrative, and behavioral patterns drive performance—or quietly derail it. Her coaching is designed to surface the unseen forces behind leadership behavior and transform them into strategic assets.
Driven by deep curiosity and a systems-level view, Hien helps leaders uncover the untapped capabilities hidden beneath reactive habits and inherited scripts. She believes every leader carries an imprint of genius and approaches each engagement with the conviction that her clients are whole, capable, and resourceful.
Her methodology integrates transformational change theory, emotional and relational intelligence, brain science, and the Enneagram—creating a multidimensional framework for growth. Through this lens, Hien guides executives to lead from their full selves, navigate complexity with clarity, and scale impact with intention.
