Captain Ijlal “CoachJai” Nadzir

THE FLYING COACH

HR Professional, Executive Coach, GA Pilot

Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, this is your Captain speaking.

Selamat Datang and Welcome to my website.
This is where you can find out more about me, my passion and my Kembara.

Let me start by saying that I fundamentally believe that each and every individual has unlimited potential. I am dedicated to inspiring, encouraging and empowering leaders to navigate their careers and DISCOVER THEIR TRUE NORTH. This is where my passion in HR, and in particular talent development is anchored on.

Having a career spanning over two decades in multiple industries, I have led HR teams and worked with CEO’s, Senior Management and the Board to design and implement Strategic HR initiatives that is fit for purpose and help organisations achieve their objectives.

In my professional career and civil society involvements, I have nurtured and developed leaders at various levels and industries. I particularly love to work with young and emerging talents, top executives and management teams to walk their purpose in achieving their ambitions and goals for them and their organisations.

I am also a Certified Pilot, and I may be able bring a unique perspectives and approaches to work and business that is built through the rigour and experience required to fly an aircraft. This perspective can offer valuable insights and strategies that may not be readily apparent to those without this background.

This is where I share with you my Kembara or Adventures of Flying, and what it means to me.

As the saying goes… “We fly because it’s in the blood which runs through our hearts. Flying to us isn’t about getting from point A to point B in a short amount of time – it’s about exploring the world from an angle that most people don’t even bother to reach for.”

I fly for the adventure, for the discipline and rigour.

I fly to feel free and heal from the busyness that is on the ground. Not to runaway from the hustle and bustle, but to look at it from a different perspective. That is why I call it my Kembara or Adventure.

I invite you to partner with me as your Coach to Chart Your Own Adventure, and Discover Your True North…

“The most difficult thing is the decision to act, the rest is mere tenacity. The fears are paper tigers. You can do anything you decide to do. You can act to change and control your life; and the procedure, the process is its own reward.”

Wilbur(t), the Flying Koala and my flying buddy, came all the way from Moorabbin Airport (YMMB), in Melbourne Australia. My daughter got him during our recent trip there.

My life and travelling companion; on a propeller plane (not a jet plane) 😀
This is my kneeboard. It contains the Aircraft Checklist, Navigation Log and a Printed Sectional Map. I need all of these to ensure a safe flight.
This is me after returning from a flight, just after shutdown.
Young Eagle, a 12-year old sharing the flight controls with me on a Kembara to taste flight. Hoping it sparks interest in him to become an aviator.
View of Sekinchan, Selangor at 1,500ft above sea level. Paddy fields for as far as you can see.
My trusted Bose A20 headset, in the cockpit of a Cessna 172 Skyhawk.
Sectional Map. Flight planning includes speed, distance, heading, height and fuel planning.
My Young Eagle assisting me on a pre-flight check. A must do before each flight.
One of the aircrafts I fly on my Kembara. This is a Cessna 172P Skyhawk with tail number 9M-NCU.
This is a Cessna 172M, registered in the US with tail number N1188U. Another aircraft that I fly.
The flying family. A 4-seater aircraft is just enough for the 4 of us.

Chart Your Own Adventure and Discover Your True North

As part of my Coaching engagement, I do offer the chance for my coachees to go on a discovery flight with me. This is where you will be invited to discover yourself and reach heights that you have never thought before.

If you are not one of my coachees, you may also have the chance take part on some other exciting Kembara with me including:

  • Kembara of KL City (Scenic Tour of Kuala Lumpur City Centre)
  • Sunset Kembara (Sunset Flight above the Straits of Malacca)
  • Kembara for the Young Eagles (especially for children 10-years old and above)

Please do reach out to me to enquire on when these adventures are available, or if you want to take the next big bold step of becoming a Student Pilot, I will be more than happy to have a chat with you.
