Hope Gong is an awareness coach who helps people break free from the relentless pursuit of achievement and embrace the joy of the journey. In a culture that overvalues endless striving and external markers of success, she works with clients to develop self-trust and a life that feels deeply fulfilling—not just impressive on paper.

As an immigrant who often found herself in rooms where no one looked like her, Hope knows what it means to navigate spaces that weren’t built with you in mind. She understands the pressure to prove yourself, the weight of expectations, and the silent question of whether you truly belong. Her own journey—moving through corporate board rooms, coaching entrepreneurs and creatives, and continuously discovering her own fortes and edges—has shaped her belief that success isn’t about fitting into someone else’s mold but rather having the courage to define it for yourself.

Hope understands the challenge of feeling stuck in cycles of proving and performing. Rooted in the principles of ontology, Hope’s coaching helps clients examine the hidden narratives that drive their actions and uncover what truly matters to them. Rather than chasing the next milestone, clients learn to live with greater freedom, fulfillment, and ease. Hope lives in New York City with her family. When she’s not coaching, you can find her singing along a Broadway musical, lost in a good book, or somewhere in the world on a silent meditation retreat.
