Hi, I’m Dr. Yanbo (Liam) Lian, a life coach dedicated to helping highly-educated young adults overcome confusion, find direction, and experience the beauty and joy of life.
Despite earning a Bachelor's degree from Shanghai Jiao Tong University (China) and a Ph.D. in Computational Neuroscience from The University of Melbourne (Australia), I once struggled with uncertainties at key life stages — entering university, pursuing a Ph.D., starting a career, and building a family. Through years of research, coaching, mentoring and working at universities, I realized that while we receive extensive academic training, we lack systematic guidance on navigating life itself.
For over six years, I’ve helped young adults clarify their goals, overcome challenges, and make meaningful breakthroughs in academics, careers, and relationships.
As a Ph.D. supervisor, academic mentor, career consultant, and certified coach with credentials in:
I integrate deep insights with practical strategies to support your growth.
I believe that everyone deserves a life with direction—and I’m here to help you find yours.
