Welcome to The Balanced Professional Works LLC
Coaching, Accountability & Momentum, Built for Your Next Level
A post-refugee kid turned professional coach, founder of The Balanced Professional Works LLC, and your Accountability Bestie on the path to transformation.
This space was created for professionals like you, ambitious, heart-led, and ready to grow, but carrying a lot.
Maybe you’ve outgrown who you were, but aren’t quite sure how to become who you’re meant to be.
That’s where this work comes in.
I don’t just coach goals, I guide transformation.
After 20+ years in client service, higher education, and adult development, I saw the real gap:
We don’t lack motivation, we lack support systems, accountability with soul, and tools that help us shift how we show up in life, work, and leadership.
And the ROI?
💡 You don’t just hit goals, you shift how you think, plan, and lead yourself.
📈 You show up differently: clearer, calmer, more committed.
💛 You start to see your potential in real-time, because you’re no longer navigating it alone.
Whether you’re navigating a transition, stepping into a new role, building a business, or redefining success, this work meets you right where you are, and helps you grow from there.

What I Offer

Why This Work Matters
(With the Data to Prove It)
After 20+ years in client service, adult education, and transformational coaching, I saw the real gap:
Most professionals don’t need more motivation. They need structure, support, and guided momentum.
And the numbers back it up:
-
Only 8% of people achieve their goals,most drop off by February without a clear plan or support system.
-
67% of professionals say they feel “stuck” or unclear about what’s next in their career or business.
-
77% report feeling burned out, especially women and leaders navigating life and leadership at the same time.
-
92% of small business owners struggle with time management and goal structure.
-
You’re 95% more likely to reach your goals with accountability.

This work matters because:
✅ Ambition isn’t the issue,lack of structure and support is
✅ Burnout isn’t a rite of passage,it’s a signal to reset
✅ Real momentum comes from aligned action, not just hustle
✅ You don’t need to go it alone, you just need the right systems + space
That’s why I created The Balanced Professional Works,to turn guided growth, intentional routines, and real accountability into a way forward that actually works.
Kind Words
So thankful for these accountability sessions with Afito Irene Chiu. Taking the time to walk, reflect, and talk through my goals in a supportive space was incredibly helpful. Her guidance is steady, clear, and encouraging—just what I needed to stayfocused and take the right next steps. I highly recommend The Balanced Professional Works to anyone looking for consistent support and real progress in their business or personal goals.
Afito Irene Chiu is wonderful & has an inspiring story! I HIGHLY recommend her if you are looking to improve your ‘work health’ (mindset, motivation & just balancing it all!).
