Rational system framework.
Emotional life companionship.

Guiding you through the lows of career, relationships, and inner states,

providing structured breakthrough logic and cutting-edge action guidance,

and accompanying you through your own hero’s journey.

I once didn’t know who I was living for.

More than a decade ago, I settled in Melbourne, held a stable role at IBM for over ten years, and had just welcomed my second child. From the outside, everything looked “perfectly in place.” But only I knew that internally, my system was already approaching overload:

  • Career bottleneck: A mismatch between income and potential—afraid to take risks, yet unwilling to stay where I was.
  • Marital crisis: Many “forbidden zones” that could not be touched—every attempt to talk would escalate into conflict.
  • Psychological depletion: A long-term state of tension and suppressed emotional pressure.
“That feeling of outward calm but inward fragility—I lived through it myself.”

In order to break through the stagnation, I began to deeply study psychology and coaching methodologies. The results were striking:

  • In career: I broke through my mental limitations, successfully transitioned, doubled my income, and began a second curve of helping others by first helping myself.
  • In family: I learned how to structurally resolve deep conflict patterns. Not only did I repair the rupture, but we also rebuilt an unprecedented level of understanding.

Over the past decade, drawing on 20 years of systems thinking from large organisations and deep insight into human complexity, as well as real-world data from working with over a thousand overseas Chinese clients, I’ve reached one clear conclusion:

What truly holds people back is never capability—but a misalignment in underlying cognitive models, relational patterns, and decision-making structures.

The path I have walked—career stagnation, marital tension, inner confusion—is exactly the path I can now walk with you.

I am not the person standing at the top of the mountain shouting “keep going.”
I am the one who once stood with you at the same base of the mountain,
and now walks beside you as you climb.

Rational system reconstruction and emotional presence
Most coaches only operate from one perspective, but I work at the intersection of two integrated systems.
That is the real formula for solving your complex reality.

In my space, you are not dealing with textbook cases, but with best practices emerging from cross-disciplinary thinking. I combine 20 years of corporate systems logic with deep psychological insight, guiding you to re-map your life from a higher, structural perspective.

Dimension One · Systemic Strategy
Rational Systemic Perspective
20 years in corporate leadership · PMP / Agile thinking · structured analytical approach
I understand the underlying mechanics of both career systems and relational systems. I don’t just explore feelings—I deconstruct systems.
  • Strategy over advice: Manage your career transitions and negotiations like high-stakes enterprise projects.
  • Clear, direct logic: Cut through emotional fog and pinpoint the real “leverage point” with actionable solutions.
PMP · Project Management Professional · IBM / Telstra · 15+ years multinational leadership
Dimension Two · Cultural & Gender Bridge
Deep Cross-Cultural Empathy
20-year journey from Shanghai to Melbourne · understanding both Eastern emotional patterns and Western logic systems
As someone who has deeply lived through cultural transition and relational tension, I fill the gap in cross-cultural coaching.
  • Bridging gaps: I understand the invisible constraints of overseas Chinese life, and the emotional silence often carried by both men and women.
  • Professional integration: Using Gottman and IFS frameworks to rebuild connection from a validated psychological foundation.
Gottman Method Level 1 & 2 · Evidence-based relationship science from 40+ years of research
Dimension Three · Holistic Evolution
Life-Level Integration
1000+ real cases · 20 years of lived relationship practice · PCC certified coach
I have witnessed thousands of life trajectories—and lived through decades of relational evolution myself.

Someone worth trusting doesn’t need to say it themselves.

We are a couple who went through significant emotional challenges. The process was extremely difficult, and I originally thought we would not be able to overcome this hurdle until Luda appeared. Emotional counselling is, by nature, a very private process, but what makes Luda most reassuring is that he truly holds you. When I revisit trauma in intimate relationships, he does not offer empty comfort or mere agreement. Instead, he genuinely sees my emotions, steadily supports me, and helps me analyse and resolve the issues. After the first session, I had almost no hesitation in immediately renewing. Looking back now, this may be the most worthwhile investment I have ever made in my life.

Being coached by Luda was a magical experience. He provided valuable advice for my marriage and also helped me overcome my inner fears through meditation. I am sincerely grateful for his wisdom and calm temperament. When my friends need a life mentor, I will strongly recommend him to them.

I am grateful for mentor Luda’s guidance, listening, analysis, and advice. During one month of coaching, through continuous exploration and practice, I genuinely felt small but meaningful changes in my life. I believe that through persistent effort, quantitative changes can eventually lead to qualitative transformation. I look forward to, under Luda’s companionship, becoming a better version of myself and achieving my life goals sooner.

Six years ago, my life in Australia took an important turn after meeting David from Raispark Coaching.

Every session with Raispark is a step towards my ideal life, covering all aspects of personal and professional development. The impact David and Raispark Coaching have had on my growth is beyond words.

Joining this bootcamp was one of the best decisions I made after immigrating to Australia. The program provides in-depth, systematic job-search knowledge. Within two months of starting, I successfully landed my first job in Australia. Through the classes and in-person events, I also met many intelligent and interesting people. It has been an incredibly valuable experience—highly recommended.

I feel very fortunate to have met Coach Luda when I was feeling confused in life. He assessed my situation from multiple angles and created a tailored improvement plan for me. Through guidance, meditation, and network support, he helped me make rapid progress in a short time while also broadening my perspective and way of thinking. He felt like a guiding light showing me the direction forward. Less than a year of coaching brought improvements across my career, personality, and family relationships.

This personal development program was extremely meaningful to me. It helped me resolve long-standing issues that caused internal stress and also made me understand why I experience emotional fluctuations and how to manage them effectively. Thank you Coach Luda for guiding us through meditation and helping us identify our core blocks. Through consistent practice and daily habits, I truly changed my lifestyle and gained a lot from this course.

Stillness Behind Strategy

You might wonder how I hold so many complex, emotionally heavy life stories. The answer is not more effort, but—mindfulness.

I choose to live by the ocean in Hampton, allowing myself to stay connected with the rhythms of nature. Through daily meditation and stillness, I cultivate a “container” — one that can hold inner chaos steadily, without being overwhelmed.

True leadership, whether in the boardroom or within the family, comes from inner stability and calm.

This is also the state I bring into every conversation: a grounded and steady presence that helps you calm the storm and find your own direction.
