My Journey of Becoming a Coach


Wow! I have reached. I am now truly functional and great going Life Coach. I have already helped six clients achieve exceptional results in discovering and believing in their natural strength, true potential and go through their career and relationship transition goals. It feels so good when I hear and see them smile and thank me for being part of their success journey. 

And I am only a month away to become a Professionally Certified Coach. And think of it, only two years back I had come to know about it and had put it in my dream list. I had no idea how to go about it except for a passionate desire
and a belief which came from my natural strength. I have been a natural listener, a good trainer, a good teacher and an extremely good sounding board to people.  

I also had a personal goal at that time to be closer to my home and family. I needed to invest time and effort to my dream and needed to align it with my personal goal. And here I was with a job with high mobility, high time investment, a very nice pay packet but that kept me located at a place which was way away from my home and family. 

Here came my first test of my own belief in my passion and dream. I had to stretch myself from my familiarity and comfort, I had to take a decision and make a choice. Be comfortable with what I had and be safe or take risk, jump into unknown and see if the dream can be reached. I needed to address a lot of fear in me before a decision can be taken. But I did it!! After a lot of personal reflection, I took the decision, took the risk of leaving the comfort and familiarity and jump into the unknown. I left my job, shifted my base to a new place closer to my family, invested my saving on my living and training and brought a lift style change which was literally drastic. Since then one year and four months have gone by. 

I believe that life is a learning process and from this choice I have learned that no task or challenge is large enough to stop me from completing my goal! The lesson learned here is to take small steps toward achieving my goal. I also learned that life occasionally stretches everyone and encourages us to venture outside of our comfort zone to see the possibilities of positive change. And it always is worth our life purpose.

This is celebration time for me. And I wanted to share this happy energy around. 

And if you have a dream or a goal and you feel stuck, I will be happy to provide my coaching skill as well. I trust I am good at my work. J

Let the blocked energy in you go. Let the Life Flow.

Simple things of joy in life..

I was feeling down and low. Recovering from a viral fever. As it happens with me often, something in me inspired to pull out my copy of Deepak Chopra 's book ' Ageless Body Timeless Mind ' and flip through randomly. It was about being with nature. Deepak talked about the value of being with nature, even if for a short while in the day. He talked about if got opportunity to lie down on grass stretching out the body and soak up some sun.  My body was aching severely, head was reeling and my mood was in depression. But a thought raced through my head like a lightning. I have developed and nurturing the small lawn in front of my house for last two years, but have never ever thought of lying down on the grass! Leave alone lying on it, I have not even sat on the bare grass on my lawn! I have this lovely little patch of green and the thought had never come! I tried to remember when was the last when I had stretched myself on green grass anywhere and it was years back! I gave ...

Pedestrian dignity

Being a pedestrian on Delhi roads is not an easy task. It requires a lot of learning the unwritten rules and on the job skill up gradation for an individual to be a deft pedestrian. In many parts of the city pedestrian strips are rare luxury – either they are not there or broken or occupied by some street vendor etc. So one has to use of road sides for the purpose – a difficult task though; with parked vehicles royally gracing the road sides and occupying one fourth of the breadth of roads. So one has to have real mastery over all sensory organs to keep them alert and coordinated to walk on the available side of the road and avoid being hit by a speeding vehicle. Crossing the road requires even more skill. If you are standing at the zebra for safe crossing, you are doing that at your own peril and with time get wiser to the fact that speeding vehicles come to a screeching halt at the end of zebra instead of its beginning. Even if the signal is green you must walk fast or run to cove...

If you had only a day to live?

Today I saw the film  '3 Idiots' again and enjoyd as thoroughly as I had during the first view. There are many angles to the movie and I have read those in the many critiques I have read. But for me it is about living life to the fullest - with #passion. Some time back my Coach asked me a powerful question - "If you had a day to live then how will you live that day?" A powerful reminder that the length of life is finite and life is to live. By this I am not saying that we have to be morbid, but just think are you enjoying your life? Does going to the office in the Monday morning fills you up with energy? Do you look forward to hit your office table and get going for the week? Are you spending time with the people you love? Do you remember which is the next festival in the calender and how you are going to celebrate this and with whom? Have you read those books which you wanted to read for quite some time? Have you seen that movie which you had planned but mi...
