BORN TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE
Posted by Wendy Jacobs in Feb, 2016
BE YOU!!!
AND DO WHAT YOU LOVE!!
My question today is
Are you living your purpose, your passion and are you fulfilled?
I am hoping that you are the rare 12% that actually answers YES to this question.
If you answered, No, why not? How much longer are you planning to stay unfulfilled, knowing you are capable of so much more?
When is it going to be your time to step up and do what you are capable of and do what you know you were born to do?
What am I talking about here?
I am talking about that inner knowing that you where born to do something great , to make a difference.
Today I share 5 unique stories of 5 amazing people who decided to share their talents, wisdom, strengths, skills and ideas to both help others make a huge change in their lives whilst making massive changes in in their own lives, doing what they love and making an income….INSPIRING Xxx
My first Guest is Kiren Dhariwal. I asked her 4 key questions these are her responses.
1- What is your coaching speciality?
My mission is inspire and empower women to consciously awaken, rediscover their personal power and create much need balance in their lives.
I have dedicated my work to uplifting those who feel they have lost their way. Women who are determined, strong and love to grow and learn to BE everything they were put on this earth to be.
2 – How did studying coaching help you succeed as a coach?
I am an avid believer in continued growth and education from all different sources including learning from mentors, traditional education and exploration of the self and those around me. Study has been ongoing for me, starting me reiki, diploma in counselling, nlp, self-development courses and ongoing reading. All of these studies have shaped the coach I am today and the success as a coach, giving me the tools and abilities to work with a wide variety of clients from all walks of life. Without this studying I would not be able to facilitate profound personal changed with my clients. Having the knowledge from all my studies gives me the confidence to do a job that I am passionate about and in turn; fulfil my life purpose.
3- How has your life changed since coaching others?
Having intuitively used coaching skills throughout my personal life and in my previous jobs, I have always felt a calling to become a wellbeing coach and make my passion a full time job. It wasn’t until I made the big decision to leave my job and become a coach that I finally felt a sense of satisfaction and a peace that I was finally living on purpose and feeling inspired everyday through the work I was doing. So often we spend our lives half asleep, going through the daily motions, feeling uninspired and dis-satisfied with life. To be able to go through your day, feeling alive, inspired and through awakening others we are also living awake; there is nothing more rewarding, fulfilling and life changing. Life changes when you immerse yourself in the exploration of why humans do what they do and how we can gain back that control over how we feel, the benefits are overwhelming in how your life changes. Suddenly through your journey to help others, you find that you are living awake and conscious; you are able to make better choices, know yourself better and learn how to live a life that truly makes you happy, in line with who you are and what you were born to do.
4- What would life be like now if you hadn’t become a coach?
Before I became a coach I was always searching. Searching for the thing that I truly loved. I was not unhappy, but there was always a feeling that I could be doing more. The things I loved about my previous jobs were the humanitarian side of things – the human connection, the ability to make an impact in someone’s life. An impact that I know was only a fraction of what could be achieved if I had the time to really sit down with someone and do the powerful work that could only be executed in a coaching position. If I had not become a coach I think I’d still be searching. Searching for myself and searching for a way to utilise who I am and what I am passionate about. When you become a coach, it takes you on an amazing internal journey where you not only learn how to enrich other people lives, but learn the ability to awaken and enrich your own life using the same tools. If I had not gone on this journey my whole life would be different, I would not have been able to grow holistically to become the person I am today.
MY NEXT COACH IS: Niyc Pidgeon
1- What is your coaching speciality – Positive Psychology, Mindset, and Success? I work with female entrepreneurs around the world through my location independent coaching business.
2 How did studying coaching help you succeed as a coach? – Learning and study has been integral to my success, is a key part of my life, and something I am very passionate about and committed to. I have invested more than $100k in myself, $55k of which was within the past 12 months, when I realised my biggest successes. It is so important to be constantly learning, and growing yourself and your skills in order to be your best for yourself and others. Learn from those that have done it before, and always work with a coach or mentor to help you create your success.

I am also now financially free, travelling the world, and run a multiple 6-figure, soon to be 7-figure business, with the aim of helping a million women change their lives and businesses using positive psychology by the year 2020.
4- What would life be like now if you hadn’t become a coach? – I would be stuck in a mindset of lack, negativity, and feeling sorry for myself instead of expanding into myself every day for the good of others and myself. There is no other way! Coaching is the future!

1- What is your coaching speciality
Music and voice coach
2 How did studying coaching help you succeed as a coach?
Studying coaching took the guesswork out of it. It drew from knowledge and resources I couldn’t not have created by myself.
In turn, this made my coaching way more professional.
Way more accurate in terms of WHAT I teach and how.
It gives me the confidence to know that I have an international body of coaches that support me and back my training 100% rather than being self-taught guesswork.
The result is I can coach with the greatest of confidence which in turn makes promoting my coaching very easy.
3- How has your life changed since coaching others
In the 11 years of being a coach, I feel that coaching has humbled me. It must come from a servant’s heart. Coaching brings together my intrinsic needs to help others, my inquisitive mind, my engineering qualifications, life coaching experience, music passions and the skills I developed from teaching at take for 9 years.
Because I am working with people, I feel like I get to directly help the world in my small way and leave a small legacy into the future once I have moved on.
4- What would life be like now if you hadn’t become a coach?
4. I can’t answer fully this question. I simply have no idea.
Though I can say I have an entrepreneurial spirit so I’d expect it would be chasing some dream along the road less travelled.
Maybe mechanical engineering again? Maybe singer song writer again or jingle producer. They were three of my careers before I considered coaching to be a potential vocation.
What I DO know for sure is now that I’ve found it; I’ll be doing it for life in some capacity. I was made for this.

Frameworks for me to be successful as a coach, it also connected me with likeminded people who also had the same goals. I believe it is very important to be surrounded by likeminded people with similar visions and similar goals to succeed as a coach
3- How has your life changed since coaching others?
My life has changed dramatically in a way I would have never imagined. Apart from have a passionate and loving relationship my business is my biggest fulfilment, it’s my passion, it’s my life it really about. It means so much to me making a difference to other woman helping them achieve their goals which includes attracting a life partner. My life has never been the same since.
4- What would life be like now if you hadn’t become a coach?
I can’t even imagine what life would have been like, I guess I would have had an ok life but it would have lacked meaning passion and purpose. And these are my core values.

Since coaching others I have a greater sense of fulfilment purpose and personal growth than I ever have. I see that live is about continuous growth and I am forever excited to see how life will unfold.
4- What would life be like now if you hadn’t become a coach?
If I hadn’t become a coach I would never have made the many key decisions that I have throughout my life, I would probably not be so committed to being my best, I would not have had the tools to navigate the most difficult challenges of my lie. I would never have experienced the pleasure of helping someone else transform their life and experience the ripple effect of that. I probably wouldn’t have had the ability to love, forgive, be compassionate, and share my gift to the extent that I do today.
