Vision in Cohesion

Eve Yi Chi · Founder, Vision in Cohesion

Systemic coaching for leaders and teams working across cultures.

Organizations stall where strategy meets the people who carry it out. I help leaders see the system they are part of and change how they act inside it. My work applies Bowen family systems theory to the workplace. It is backed by nearly twenty years of in-house experience in semiconductor/tech and financial services, including organization transformation and P&L leadership.

What I do

Three ways of working, all built on seeing the whole system rather than one person inside it.

Systemic coaching

One-to-one and team coaching for executives and founders. Using Bowen theory, we look at how anxiety, triangles and reactivity move through a team, and how a leader can stay clear and connected in the middle of it.

Training for managers and professionals

Workshops on difficult conversations, coaching skills and the step from individual contributor to manager. Practice-based, and built around the situations your people actually face.

Facilitating team dialogue

Facilitated conversations for leadership teams and peer groups: surfacing what is going unsaid, aligning on decisions, and agreeing how to work together. Formats range from one-off team sessions to year-long mastermind groups.

How I see it

An organization is an emotional system. Its patterns may repeat, whoever is in the room.

Patterns repeat

Silence, blame and over-functioning show up in teams the way they show up in families. Naming the pattern is often the first useful intervention.

Triangles form

When two people cannot settle a tension directly, a third is pulled in. Seeing the triangle changes what a leader does next.

A steady leader moves the system

A leader who holds a clear position without cutting off or being pulled in changes how everyone around them behaves. That capacity can be built.

Selected work

Three engagements, with the results participants reported.

From engineer to manager: a safe space to test the leap

Challenge
Engineers weighing a move into management needed to know what the role really asks of them, and whether it fits who they are.
What I did
Co-facilitated a 4-day intensive leadership program covering values, vision, coaching circles, a personal roadmap and simulation exercises, with short, low-stakes experiments in leadership practice.

Calm under pressure with emotional parents

Challenge
Front-line staff handling high-emotion conversations with parents.
What I did
A three-day, 12-hour program built on the H.E.A.T. de-escalation framework, "Friction Lab" role-play, and boundary-setting with equal dignity.
What shifted
Pausing before responding. "Thank you" in place of "sorry". The idea that clarity is an act of empathy.

Seeing the whole picture

Challenge
People at a plateau, with scattered resources and a hard time seeing their own options.
What I did
A year of vision roadmap work, monthly mastermind sessions, office hours and guest speakers.
What changed
  • An English-language educator in Canada added behavioral coaching for students to her service, widening and upgrading what she offers.
  • A tourism founder in Okinawa filled several pages with new ideas after our work together.
  • An engineer in the US gained a new sense of control over her finances and family through knowing herself better.

In their words

“Over the past year, from the first vision roadmap to the monthly mastermind and office hours, I could see progress every month, and when I ran into a problem I got help quickly. … Seeing problems through everyone’s different perspectives was a very interesting process.”

“I like this training because it brings me to the next level of how to become a leader.”

“I’ve come to see that a person grows organically, just like a tree. Progress in one area of life can inspire and accelerate growth in another.”

About Eve

From operating models to family systems, with the same question underneath: why do capable people get stuck together?

I am the founder of Vision in Cohesion, based in Taipei and working across Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau and North America, in English and Mandarin.

My early career was in organization transformation consulting at IBM in Shanghai. At TD Bank in Canada I worked on organization design, built a new vendor management team during a three-entity merger integration, and later moved into customer experience, personal banking and branch management. I then trained in Bowen family systems theory in Vancouver, completing supervised client work and two theses on systemic patterns in family and workplace relationships. I also volunteer in hospice care and with a water rescue team.

Today I bring that mix of operating experience and systems thinking to leaders who need more than a technical fix.
