Clemens, Tech Professional
"I refused to acknowledge that there are things that I shouldn't have to handle entirely on my own, or that there is a limit to personal growth that I can achieve alone. I resisted for months then finally gave in and hired Joey on a recommendation by a friend.
I was surprised how fast I was able to work through things, by just talking about them with him for an hour or two. I haven't looked back since and became a different person :)"

"Working with Joey has been an extraordinary journey that has had a profound impact on various aspects of my life. Through our coaching sessions, I underwent a transformative experience, gaining a heightened awareness of my body, emotions, and the depths of my soul. Joey's holistic approach created a harmonious integration of these aspects, fostering a sense of balance, connection, and authenticity within myself.
One area in which this has really helped me is my decision-making. I now approach decisions not just from my strong rational mind but also integrating the wisdom of my body and emotions. As a result, my decisions have become more aligned with my core values, enabling me to intentionally shape the life I desire and make choices that resonate deeply with my truest self. He also helped me to expand my aperture of life itself with a focus on my wise self vs saboteurs.
One thing I really appreciated about working with Joey was is his ability to surprise me in the most positive and enriching way. From our very first session, he challenged my preconceived notions and went beyond what I had initially expected. These unexpected insights and conversations have been instrumental in my personal growth and have made the coaching experience truly exceptional.
I am immensely grateful for the transformational impact that working with Joey has had on my life. His holistic approach, coupled with his skill in asking insightful questions and facilitating introspection, is empowering me to live a more purposeful and fulfilling life. I wholeheartedly recommend Joey as a coach to already high-performing leaders who are wondering “what else could be here?”. Thank you, Joey, for your unwavering support and the positive impact you have had on my journey of self-realization and personal empowerment."

"I met Joey Ra just seven weeks ago, when my daughter-in-law introduced us. At 77, I am at a place where I want to imagine the last book of my life. I’ve had a successful career as an educator who as its Head of School for 28 years created a wonderful progressive, arts centered, multicultural school in New England, which has become a model for other small progressive schools. I was the founding Board President of the fourth largest gay rights organization in the USA, and also the co-founder and still Board President of the largest arts NGO in Cambodia, which has become a model for transformation through the arts of post-conflict societies.
During my life I’ve worked with several therapists and two other life coaches. All of them were helpful for my personal growth and I would recommend any of them. But Joey is in another class. In just five sessions with him, I’ve made more progress than in years of past coaching. Joey helps me hone my capacity for self awareness, and to quickly put goals into action. Thanks to working with Joey, I feel calmer, more focussed, and as if my bags were packed ready to leave this life with no regrets should I be suddenly taken by Covid 19 or some other fatality. I have already recommended Joey as a coach for several of my most valued friends."

"Coaching with Joey has helped me discover myself by myself. He has helped guide me to discover paths less travelled within me, which I didn't know existed and to be more open to adopting different perspectives about myself.
My family, work colleagues and I find I am more calm and balanced since starting the coaching. Highly recommend to anyone thinking about coaching with Joey."
Rui En, Medical Doctor
"Meeting Joey and engaging him as my life coach has literally been the single most important thing that I have ever done for myself. This experience with him has helped me reorganise and re-centre the topsy turvy world that is actually just my mind. I struggle with this a lot and Joey was able to help what felt like an impossible situation turn possible. I will be forever thankful that I took that first step toward becoming the person I really want to be and living the life I truly want to live.
Joey really understands where I am coming from and is able to clearly identify my thoughts and needs in life. He is an inspirational person who has the ability to motivate and encourage action thereby focusing one on fulfilling their personal goals. Joey is an amazing, life-saving life coach."
Sofia Perez, Managing Principal at The Idea Consultancy
"Stepping into my new role as a Managing Principal at The Idea has been an exciting and terrifying journey.
Joey helps me explore my narrative and truths, and encourages me to build on those that propel me onward. It’s a guided deep-dive into my thoughts, which gives me clarity, space, and courage to make better decisions as a leader and as a person."
Tom Hesketh, Deputy Executive Director for Eurocham
“I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Joey Ra and his team for a public training offered by EuroCham. As an organiser, I was also fortunate to be able to join the course as a participant. Based on this experience, I would highly recommend Joey as a coach for individuals, or as a trainer for teams and businesses. Working and negotiating with Joey was exceptionally smooth and good natured – Joey was flexible to our needs and adapted his training well to our audience.
Our participants are typically middle to senior managers of large corporates and NGOs operating in Cambodia. From a learning standpoint, Joey also excelled. I was able to learn the benefits of coaching in the workplace. This was an area I was somewhat cynical about before, but I have since been able to apply several of the lessons and tools learnt to my own team.
Joey was able to create a course environment in which all participants (of varying backgrounds and seniority) felt relaxed, and open to discussing their work challenges. The course was also rated particularly highly by our participants. Overall, I highly recommend Joey as a coach and services provider, and hope to work with him again in the future.”
