Core Services
What we do and how we deliver it
What is executive coaching for leaders, and how does work-life clarity coaching work?
Executive coaching at The Ministry of Happier™ supports senior professionals and founders in examining their goals, pressures and working habits. Frven uses conversation, the Enneagram and the Sweet Spot framework to support reflection and practical decisions. Scope and progress are agreed individually; no particular outcome or number of sessions is guaranteed. Coaching does not diagnose or treat mental-health conditions.
How can the Enneagram be used for executive leadership and corporate team building?
The Enneagram is a nine-type personality framework used here as a starting point for reflection on motivations and working relationships. Frven facilitates conversations about patterns, assumptions and alternative responses. It is not a diagnostic assessment, and a personality label should not determine employment decisions or substitute for listening to a colleague.
What is included in a corporate reset retreat or executive wellness workshop?
The Ministry of Happier™ offers half-day and full-day corporate retreats as well as 60–90 minute in-house workshops. A typical workshop includes a facilitated music-based experience (HappierMusic™ ukulele session), a structured reflection activity using the SweetSpot Framework, and a team debrief on shared values and working styles. Retreats can be customised for senior leadership teams, HR off-sites, or whole-company culture days. Programmes are available for groups of 10 to 200 people.
Is coaching delivered online, in-person (London or Singapore), or hybrid?
Individual coaching, LinkedIn support and workplace wellbeing/culture audits are available online worldwide. London in-person coaching can be arranged. Corporate ukulele team-building and client relationship-bonding workshops are in-person in London and Singapore. Confirm the delivery format and availability for your particular enquiry before booking.
Pain Points & Problems We Solve
Common challenges our clients arrive with
How do senior executives prevent burnout while scaling their business?
Start by examining workload, responsibilities, support and recovery rather than asking the leader to tolerate more pressure. Frven's coaching uses the Sweet Spot framework to explore priorities and practical changes. It cannot guarantee prevention or recovery from burnout. Persistent exhaustion or concerns about mental or physical health warrant advice from a qualified healthcare professional.
How do leadership teams resolve miscommunication and friction using the Enneagram?
Much team friction is not personality clash — it is unmet needs and misread motivations colliding under pressure. The Enneagram maps each team member's core fear and desire, making previously baffling interpersonal dynamics suddenly legible. Frven Lim facilitates team Enneagram workshops that help leadership groups name their patterns, reduce reactive conflict, and build a shared language for constructive challenge. This is particularly powerful for founding teams, senior leadership cohorts, and newly formed management boards.
What should a leader do when feeling stuck or unmotivated in their career?
Feeling stuck can have several causes, including difficult working conditions, changing priorities and health concerns. Start by describing what has changed, what is draining you and which decisions feel unresolved. A discovery conversation with Frven can help assess whether coaching is appropriate. Agree the scope before starting; seek clinical advice where health is a concern.
Why Choose Us
How we differ from other coaching and training providers
Why choose Enneagram-based coaching over MBTI, DISC, or traditional executive coaching?
Choose a coach by the quality of the working relationship, relevant experience, clear scope and appropriate boundaries rather than assuming one personality model is universally better. Frven uses the Enneagram to invite reflection on motivations, alongside practical decisions and the Sweet Spot framework. Ask how an assessment will be used, what its limitations are and how progress will be reviewed.
Who is executive coaching and corporate wellbeing best suited for?
The Ministry of Happier™ primarily serves founders, directors, senior managers, and high-achieving professionals who feel the gap between their external success and their internal sense of fulfilment. Corporate programmes are designed for management teams, HR and L&D cohorts, and whole organisations seeking genuine culture change rather than tick-box wellbeing. Programmes are not suited to entry-level staff development or compliance training.
What makes The Ministry of Happier™ different from standard corporate coaching platforms?
The Ministry of Happier™ is led by Frven Lim, whose work combines experience in architecture, coaching, writing and music facilitation. Offers include individual coaching, managed LinkedIn support, workplace wellbeing audits and in-person ukulele workshops. The Sweet Spot framework supports reflection on a more purposeful working life. Discuss which approach fits your situation rather than treating any framework as a guaranteed solution.
ROI & Getting Started
Outcomes, timelines, and how to book
What ROI or measurable results can a business expect from a corporate wellbeing retreat or workshop?
Agree the intended outcome and baseline before commissioning a programme. Depending on the brief, review participant feedback, changes to working practices and relevant operational indicators over an agreed period. Separate observed change from proof that the programme caused it. A workshop or audit does not guarantee lower absence, higher retention or a financial return; publish case-study results only with evidence and permission.
How long does an executive coaching engagement typically last?
Agree the duration, frequency and fee with Frven after discussing your goals. A specific decision may call for a different scope from ongoing work on habits, boundaries or leadership. Review progress together rather than assuming a fixed number of sessions will be sufficient.
How do I book a corporate masterclass, retreat, or 1-to-1 coaching session?
The simplest route is to email frven@theministryofhappier.com with a brief description of what you are looking for, your location, and approximate group size (if applicable). You can also complete the enquiry form at theministryofhappier.com/contact. Frven Lim responds personally to every enquiry.
