Speaker Profile
Hire as speaker
Jocelyn Chan is the originator of the As Soft As Possible philosophy — a bold reframe of how individuals and organizations think about rest, recovery and sustainable performance.
After a decade leading brand and communications at high-growth B2B companies in Stockholm, Jocelyn learned firsthand what happens when people operate on empty — creatively, emotionally, physically. Her answer wasn't another productivity hack. It was a complete rethink of what rest actually means.
Jocelyn brings together 10+ years of marketing and brand strategy experience with ICF-certified coaching to make the case that softness is not a weakness — it's a competitive advantage. Her talks don't just change how you think — they change how you go home that evening. Every session is built around tools people can try the same day and knowledge worth carrying for life.
She speaks to corporates and conference audiences on rest as a performance strategy, wellbeing as a leadership practice, and why the most urgent thing your team can do right now is slow down.
Jocelyn is a co-founder of Women & Climate Stockholm and host of the ASAP newsletter. Based in Stockholm, available worldwide for keynotes, workshops, and leadership events.
