Built For The Leaders Of Tomorrow

i-GROW partners was built with a mission to develop leaders who serve Singapore with courage, clarity and care.

Leadership begins the moment you choose to serve.

i-GROW Partners was founded by leaders who have served in command rooms, policy divisions, and public agencies across Singapore.

We have lived the same realities our clients now face. Navigating change, leading through uncertainty, and building teams that stay grounded under pressure.

Over the past decade, we have distilled those lessons into a process you can trust. One that blends discipline with empathy, and clarity with care. 

Our frameworks combine systems thinking with modern coaching practice to help leaders sustain transformation, not just start it.

Because how we lead others begins with how we lead ourselves.

The story behind i-GROW Partners.

i-GROW Partners Team

From command to coaching. From service to partnership.

i-GROW was founded when Singapore’s uniformed services began exploring leadership beyond command. Toward reflection, collaboration, and growth.

The “i” represents the individual, the leader who chooses to grow. “GROW” reflects the work of development: gaining clarity, strengthening presence, and building capability over time. “Partners” is our community of clients, colleagues, and facilitators who walk that journey together.

Today, we grow together, so leaders can lead together.

Practitioners first.
Coaches second.

Our facilitators are leaders who have lived what they teach — across the SAF, public service, healthcare institutions, education, and global leadership development. Each brings deep field experience with one common belief that leadership is a daily practice.
