Eadren Tan leads Clutterbuck Coaching & Mentoring International in South East Asia (CCMI SEA) with a deep respect for the human side of leadership and learning. Since her time as a Founding Council Member of the European Mentoring and Coaching Council for the Asia-Pacific Region, Eadren and Professor David Clutterbuck have been working together to promote the gold standard in mentoring and coaching. Her work is shaped by a simple but demanding belief: that mentoring and coaching matter most when they are practised with integrity, humility, and a genuine commitment to people’s growth.

Over the years, Eadren has worked globally alongside leaders, HR professionals, and practitioners who care about doing this work well – not quickly, not superficially, but in ways that build trust, sound judgement, and long-term capability. She is known for bringing both warmth and clarity into complex conversations, helping individuals and organisations think more deeply about how learning, responsibility, and relationships truly develop.

Eadren’s approach reflects the values that sit at the heart of CCMI globally: evidence-informed practice, ethical responsibility, and learning that is grounded in real organisational life. She is particularly attentive to context, recognising that effective mentoring and coaching in the Asia-Pacific and Middle-East region must honour cultural nuance, lived experience, and the realities leaders face on the ground.

In her role with CCMI SEA, Eadren focuses on cultivating partnerships rather than transactions. She works closely with organisations to embed mentoring and coaching as enduring capabilities, supporting maturity, reflective practice, and leadership that is sustainable over time.

Alongside Professor David Clutterbuck and the CCMI UK team, Eadren ensures that the standards and philosophy that define CCMI internationally are upheld, while being thoughtfully translated for the region.
