About me
I was born premature in a refugee camp in Thailand as my parents were escaping the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia, we then migrated to Italy where we lived for 8 years then migrated to Australia in 1988. The foundation of my life started with a passion for entry in to the world & I carry this passion in all my life endeavors. As a result of life happening for me, I am dedicating my life to guiding others on a journey of inner child work to activate & re-discover who they were born to be. It's an amazing feeling when you remember what your 'why' is. MY view of the world is that no matter what the circumstances, everyone is a gift & should be doing what they desire deep in their hearts. It is my mission to open as many hearts as I can and the domino effect of this is opening minds to the limitless possibilities available to us all.
What I can share
I am Master Practitioner in NLP, Time Line Therapy (TM) & Hypnotherapy, an Elite Business partner with Think & Grow Group, accounting administrator at a top-tier retail asset management company & founder of Emerge Internally Flawless.

About me
I'm simply someone who is in the process of overcoming myself.
I believe strongly that the past does not define the future and that change begins with ourselves.
I have a crooked past and have changed how I approach life. Moving forward, never going back. I believe I've already come really far, but in all honesty I see how much further I must go.
You may not be interested in talking to someone like me, but I'm here for those who might be facing the same hardships to help anyone who might feel the heavy burdern of past mistakes. Change is possible, you just need that first step.
What I can share
With alot of negative experiences in my life, I've learnt how to channel those experiences into positive outcomes. Although I'm still in low level management, I like to think I've come a long way and flipped my life a full 180 degrees.
I'm happy to share my experiences that defined and most valuable skills that allowed me to turn everything around.

About me
I have over 40 years’ experience in Information Technology related services with 30 of those years focused on working with Australian Federal Government clients. I have held executive roles with blue-chip companies including IBM, Unisys, CSC, BHP, AT&T, DMR Consulting and Gartner. Those roles have including General Management roles with responsibility for up to 500 staff and operational budgets in excess of $200m.
And why the Chinese name?
I have friends and family living in China and my wife is Chinese. We are always exploring business opportunities which span our two great countries and cultures. My Chinese connections have kindly bestowed on me the Chinese name of 单楷瑞.
单 = Shan. This is my wife’s family name in China. She uses my family name in Australia and so I am honoured to use her family name for my Chinese name. In China, the family name comes before the given name.
楷瑞 = Kǎi Ruì. This is my given name. Kǎi means “Model” (as in role model, example, mentor). Ruì means “Auspicious” (as in lucky, prosperous, promising).
What I can share
“Winning is great but how you play the game is more important and takes a different strength”
“Wishing is not a Methodology”
“Life begins at the end of your comfort zone”
"Be who you aspire to be"
The above quotes are indicative of my approach to business and life. I am driven by conceptualising, designing, articulating and then delivering solutions and services that solve the needs of my clients. Whether this be a complex $500m change program, a $10,000 consulting engagement or a pro bono coaching/mentoring gig, I start by investing time in understanding what my client needs and then work to match this with what I can provide.
My business passions include:
- Achieving a Win Win
- Creating value for my clients, for Australia and for the World
- “Real” relationships
- Striving for Excellence
- Connecting strategic to tactical
