I believe that everyone deserves a life with direction – and I’m here to help you find yours.
Hi, I’m Dr. Yanbo (Liam) Lian, a positive psychology coach & neuroscientist 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 uncertainty at key life stage – 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.
Since 2017, I’ve been helping 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:
• Career Direct® Career Consulting
• Designing Your Life® Coaching
• Coaching & Positive Psychology® Coaching
• Maxwell Leadership Team® Coaching, Speaking, Training
• International Coaching Federation® Coaching
I integrate deep insights with practical strategies to support your growth.
“Everyone deserves a life with direction.”
