In 15 years of my IT career, I have always loved to get connected with people and have often solved their personal and professional problems with ease. I realised that more people need me so, I started practicing Life Coaching two years back. It is my passion and I believe when you start doing something, things start falling in place and you start getting success.
Q2. Kindly share some information about your Business, products and services here.
I am internationally certified life coach. My life coach certification is accredited by International Coach Federation (ICF), USA. I started my coaching practice by the name “Life Coaching with Lata”. I offer various coaching services like, student success coaching, career coaching, parent- child coaching, corporate group coaching and coaching for empowering women.
I have been actively taking corporate trainings on various topics like, women empowerment, leadership, anger and time management, emotional intelligence and self-awareness etc. Apart from this, I do 1-1 coaching sessions with individuals and groups on personal and professional front.
Q3. What kind of challenges did you face while starting/doing business?
The main challenge that I face as a Life Coach is - it is very less known field in India. People relate it to counselling, therapy or mentoring although life coaching is a co-creative partnership between a Coach and a Coachee. It focuses on planning and implementing specific, meaningful changes in personal and/or professional life. It is very powerful and has capability to changes one’s life in a positive way. So, whenever I introduce my life coaching business to anyone I have to tell how it is different than other things like training, counselling, mentoring etc.
Q4. Do share with our readers about your discovery period when you were facing difficulties in your business?
Challenges gets you going… It’s always tempting to go back to your previous job or leave difficult things mid-way, but when you keep on going forward, you actually start seeing success. I believe failures are steps to success, I always look forward and learn from my failures. There is time when things go very well, while at other times it doesn’t go as per plan. But in business, you cannot sit back, you have to keep moving forward and take next steps.
Q5. Share with our readers about your experiment period after the discovery period?
Over the period I have learnt, never stop at your success and neither on your failure. Celebrate your success and move on to the next assignment. It’s a continuous journey…
Q6. What are your future plans? Or now what is your vision for next five years?
In next five years, I want to change life of approx. ten lakh people in a positive way through my life coaching skills and services. It is my goal and I am 100% committed towards it.
Q7. How would you advice/suggest new entrepreneurs who want to start & sustain in business?
Entrepreneurship is a roller coaster ride, it’s not easy. You have to keep learning and motivating yourself to remain in the business. Believe in yourself and your abilities. It takes time, money and relations to succeed in any business. You must build your network and relations to reach new heights. And lastly, be authentic and provide value in whatever you do.
