7 Reasons Why I Am Qualified to Be A Trainer & A Coach

My mother asked me a very valid question yesterday - Why should people listen to you or come to your workshop?

She didn't ask me from the space of doubting my capabilities but she wants me to express this to all of you.

This question may have popped in some of your minds too. Now here are the top 7 reasons why I am qualified to be a trainer & a coach.

1. Life experience - I am not teaching or sharing anything that I haven't experienced so far. I believe that certifications are over-rated. For eg. An MBA degree from a fancy college doesn't ensure that you will be a great manager and boy, do we have some great examples of failed managers around us. Life and hardships are the biggest teachers. Don't you think?

2. Self Taught - I have read more than 200 books in my life-time so far which has added to my life experience. Books from experts, thought leaders, researchers and world leaders have inspired me and taught me a million things which otherwise I would have had no source to find out. I am not counting the online reading and research here that I do on a daily basis from many years now.

3. My mentors - Trust me, all my life I have had teachers and mentors who have chiselled me into who I am today, who have inspired me (to be brave enough) to go after my dreams. I do want to mention some of their names here (My Parents, Rajiv Talreja, Surendran J, Siddharth Rajsekar, Simon Sinek, Garyvee, Apurva Purohit, Mel Robbins.. this is a long list. In fact, someone I met recently was so inspiring.. Ashfak.

4. My writing - I wrote my first poem 21 years ago and since then there has been no stopping me. I have been one with my inner world for 21 years now. That also makes me understand you like no one else would. We think we are all so different but trust me we are more similar than you are willing to accept. Writing has also made me one of the most fearless people around because guess what doesn't scare or stop me - People's judgement!

5. My (unsatisfied) hunger for learning - Yes, I use the word 'unsatisfied' intentionally. I am hungry to learn. If you know something that is in my domain or interests, I will be your student, no matter what your age or background is. (I learn many things from my 6 year old.)

6. Training and Coaching - I have been a trainer and a coach from the time I started speaking properly (there is a long list of people who can vouch for that), though I wouldn't have given myself the "title". That is another 23 years of just selflessly helping people around me to untangle their thoughts and make them see what they were not able to see in themselves on their own.

7. All of you - I am so fortunate to have a long list of well-wishers and friends who have been with me every step of the way.. especially by supporting my writing... If I start mentioning your names I would have to write 10 new posts just listing down names. You all know who you are.. without your support and confidence in me..it would have been tough to take my first step. Yes.

If you believe that because of all of the above reasons, I may have something of value to teach you, please do come to my workshop 'HAPPY and LOVED - Yes, You Deserve It! on March 21, 2020, in Chennai
