I am fascinated by how change comes easy to some whilst others really struggle. I have been on a personal change journey for a long while learning and experimenting with different tactics. Along the way, I have learnt ways to make change easy and I want to share this knowledge with you so that you can achieve results fast.
I grew up in the East End of London where education was not important for Bangladeshi families struggling to make ends meet. I thrived on learning, but university wasn’t an option despite dreaming about attendance at lectures, libraries and graduation.
I started working in a hospital pharmacy and always pushed myself to learn and adapt. However, when I looked in the mirror, I saw a timid, passive girl and not the successful woman that I was becoming. Deep down, I was holding on to limiting beliefs that I wasn’t good enough and didn’t deserve to be successful. Fear became an obstacle in pursuing further goals and ambition .
Thirst for change and new things led me to make successful career shifts many times. Along the way, one thing was constant: change. I discovered an emerging discipline of change management and have totally immersed myself in learning how to make change effective. I worked in various industries and well-known established companies leading complex change programmes. I completed a masters degree and successfully achieved certifications; I have learnt the most from the experiences of others and that of my own.
I discovered the power of coaching and NLP to break down limiting beliefs and re-programmed my thoughts. The reflection in the mirror changed from negative thoughts to a resilient positive mindset, and from self doubt to unconditional self-belief. I am standing taller with improved health, financial freedom and increased productivity. Fear is my fuel now, and it drives me to achieve success each day, every day. My life has truly transformed with self determination and learning from some amazing people along the way. When I look in the mirror now, I see my potential and limitless abilities.
