Tell us about your life before the venture/leading up to your venture?
My exceptional experience has been childhood abuse, arranged marriage, emotional abuse (living with a Narcissist), faith, financial hardship, single parent and became my own hero through personal development and personal growth. I have delivered an award-winning presentation and best seller biography book that helped young people and adults become the pillars of the communities. I’d like to call myself a humble person and lead by example through empowering, inspiring and being an authentic self. My purpose and approach impact the people’s lives and global audience.
Tell us something about your organization. What is it about and how is it helpful for people?
I focus on Mindset, Relationship with Yourself & Goal Setting.
The programme that we conduct has different goals:
Part 1: Mindset:
Our programme is made to interact with the clients by stimulating the mind through cognition, verbal, and non-verbal communication processes to ensure success and maintain this healthier way of learning in the long-term. We will be using methods and models such as positive psychology, growth mindset, SMART model and personality methods.
Part 2: Relationship with self:
Our programme is designed to pinpoint triggers such as emotions (anxiety and stress), thoughts, actions, and behaviors in finding ways that will work for them by working as individuals and then presenting to the rest of the group as a way of owning up to their growth.
Part 3: Goal Setting:
Setting our clients for life by identifying what goal setting or planning does to their mind and behavior, exploring and reflecting on their individual experiences, what worked, and what did not and implementing new ways to ensure success and share each stage with the group.
This programme is designed for group mentoring and individual. Working as a group, three stages follow when participating in the session:
- stage 1, Individual Activities
- stage 2, Sub-group activities
- stage 3, Presenting to everyone
Three main parts are vital in a young people, adults and entrepreneur’s daily lives. To enable our clients to understand how to manage their minds and enjoy happier and healthier lives. To equip our clients by exploring who they are as an individual and reflecting daily on their personal journals to keep track of their growth.
Awareness:
We know that all participants are different, so this programme is created as interactive and simplified to ensure every stage is handled with care and only shared with the rest of the group when the individual is comfortable and safe.
Our focus is evidence-based- (evaluation forms and success stories).

How has your life changed because of your venture?
I have gained more than I expected after I decided to be happy and live life on my terms. I started by setting myself free from people who were not good for me, which led me to ask for a divorce and be independent. Build my belief system by relearning what I was taught to what I want to be now. Working on my self-development and practice daily. Gain better friends and collaborate with similar vision. I have freedom, a calm home, and growing personally and professionally whilst helping others.
