Company Overview

At Reflections Collective, we guide individuals and organizations through meaningful transformation by helping them break free from limiting patterns and redefine success on their own terms.

With a Ph.D. in Sociology, our founder, Chenyao Zhang, brings an in-depth understanding of how societal expectations shape personal and professional choices. This insight allows us to approach coaching and writing with a systems-level awareness—helping clients not only navigate personal change but also recognize the broader forces influencing their lives.

Through our integrated approach of coaching, writing, and thought leadership, we empower individuals and businesses to align with their core values, move beyond outdated narratives, and create sustainable, fulfilling change.

I’ve had the privilege of benefiting from Chen’s thoughtful and thought-provoking professional coaching and I can confidently say she is a truly exceptional coach. Her ability to create a safe, empowering space for growth and reflection is one of her greatest strengths – she always seems to know just what question to ask and it results in mind-blowing insights from within myself that I didn’t realize were there.

Chen brings a unique combination of deep listening, insight, and genuine care. She asks the  kinds of questions that spark clarity and unlock new perspectives—always with empathy and without judgment. It’s clear she’s deeply committed to helping others grow, and she does so with both professionalism and heart.


If you’re looking for a coach who will challenge you, support you, and help you move forward with purpose, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Chenyao Zhang.

Her coaching helped me shift from passive or catastrophic thinking to a more empowered mindset, where I now see myself as the active agent in my own journey. What stands out most is Chen's deep sense of responsibility. She consistently follows up my progress, ensuring accountability and growth. Through our work together, I've gained a more positive attitude on life and developed greater confidence in myself.
