Meet Pooi Ming Yeow

Pooi Ming Yeow is a local leader of Business Women Australia and respected Adelaide business woman. For over 20 years, Pooi Ming thrived in high-pressure corporate and startup environments - leading agile teams, launching financial products, and building innovative solutions from the ground up. She loved the challenge, the pace, and the problem-solving. But over time, a deeper question emerged: What if success isn’t just about outcomes, but about impact? That question changed her path.

Today, Pooi Ming is a Destiny & Purpose Coach - guiding women to live beyond titles, roles, and expectations. She works with women who are ready to stop measuring life by someone else’s standards and reconnect with who they truly are. Her coaching is practical and rooted in real experience - helping clients untangle self-doubt, quiet the constant overthinking, and make choices that genuinely reflect their values. Having walked away from roles that no longer fit, Pooi Ming knows what it means to rebuild from the inside out - and she brings that lived wisdom into every conversation.
