Give us an overview of Envision Training. What are some important features about your expertise as a growth mindset coach and a motivational speaker?

Envision Training, founded in 2016, is a provider of corporate training solutions focused on transforming and empowering organizations, professionals, and individuals. The key areas of focus for the company are soft skills, behavioral skills enhancement and development, organizational development, and industry specific programs. We have empaneled close to 200 trainers pan India for delivering training workshops for our clients. We serve over 300 clients in India and around the world, providing skill and behavioral training for their employees.

My ultimate objective as an entrepreneur is to create a world in which individuals are inspired and motivated by themselves. I strive to assist my customers in reaching their full potential by widening their horizon, accepting difficulties, venturing out of their comfort zones, and delving into their challenging zones. I train individuals how to shift their thinking from restrictive to progressive. I envisage a future in which people have discovered their inner light and are no longer in need of motivating speakers or tools.

Take us through your early educational journey and prior industry experience that you bring to the table. In your opinion what are some of your key personality traits that make you a successful life coach & Motivational speaker?

I was born in Mumbai but raised in Ranchi. I was sent to boarding school at an early age. I did my schooling from Mayo College in Ajmer followed by a bachelor's degree in psychology and sociology from Jai Hind College in Mumbai. After that, I worked as a Flight Attendant for Kingfisher Airlines & Indigo Airlines where I was awarded as the best flight attendant.

I have since worked as a personality development and corporate trainer for several firms such as AND Designs, Future group, Kaya Skin Clinic, and Achievers Zone.

However, I never felt truly satisfied while working with other organizations. I always wanted to create something of my own. Consequently I enrolled for Dale Carnegie courses and obtained a master trainer certificate from IBTA Florida. I also received professional coaching certification from Grow More Avenues, got certified as a breakthrough specialist and an NLP practitioner too.

My trusting attitude is one of the important personality traits that has greatly aided me. I have a strong ability to connect with others. That's why so many people open up and talk to me, whether through coaching sessions or motivational speeches. I always ensure that my training or speaking sessions are dynamic and interesting. It's always about the audience, never about me as a facilitator or a coach. These are some of the personality attributes that have led to a successful career in leadership. With my gait, I am straightforward and approachable. Integrity is something that is very important to me.

Tell us about the different aspects of one’s professional and personal life that you can guide them through?

I've always been fascinated by the inner workings of a person's mind. Throughout my trainings and motivational sessions, I concentrate on how to transform an individual from being conscious of who he is, to being aware of what he wants to achieve. My goal is to ensure that the person believes in himself and shatters these limiting thoughts that are preventing him from taking a step or taking any action in life, to combat fear, and to modify a person's thinking in order to overcome these barriers that he create for himself. My ultimate goal with my sessions and workshops is to bring people to the point where they no longer need to visit a motivational speaker or view a video to feel motivated. I hope to make them so self-assured and self-motivated that they don't see the need to glance at others. They feel intrinsically motivated despite any external difficult situations.

“I'm excited to launch my own courses that cover topics such as public speaking, presentation skills, time management, and personality development. This will help me reach out to millions of people and lead me to achieve my mission, which is to impact one million lives”

What are some key tools and techniques that you employ in your training modules to ensure fruitful learning?

When training, motivating and offering coaching programs, I try not to use sophisticatedor complex tools and theories. Instead, I aim to utilize simple methods, words, phrases that truly gets through to the heart of a person and motivate them to take action.

I specialize in fire walk, glass walk, iron rod bending, and brick breaking. I use these tactics or breakthroughs to change people's behaviors or beliefs that impede them from achieving their goals. When we undertake a glass walk or a fire walk, for example, when a person walks on fire, that person has eliminated his or her limiting thoughts or phobias from the past and has accepted and acted in the present.

Tell us about some of the other exciting projects that you are currently working on?

There are several exciting projects I'm currently working on. I am in talks with various corporate clients on being invited as guest speaker to help motivate their workforce through the tough times that we all have been facing. I am also coming on-board a few governments initiatives through which we aim to motivate students, entrepreneurs etc. I am also in talks with few corporate clients scheduling fire walk and glass walk activities in the coming month.

I'm super excited to launch my own courses that will assist people in making tangible changes. These courses cover topics such as public speaking, presentation skills, time management, and personality development to name a few.

All these endeavors will culminate in helping me reach my ultimate goal, which is to impact one million lives.

As a successful business leader what would your advice be to young women aspiring to become business leaders and entrepreneurs in the future?

I've seen that women don't take care of themselves. We are all about nurturing our children and family members, but we put ourselves last in life, thus I would encourage you to break this pattern. Another piece of advice I can provide is to not let others make decisions for you. Believe in yourself and invest in yourself in order to improve yourself and your life skills.
