I’m Pragya, a certified life coach
I embarked on this journey to serve as an instrument for change because after years of feeling the soul-destroying dreariness of a life trapped in spreadsheets; crunching numbers and managing profits, losses, and income statements for companies and bosses who were manufacturing, marketing, and selling things that polluted the planet, I felt my purpose was lost to me. I sought the counsel of advisors and coaches who helped me find clarity of purpose.
Getting clear on what you want can be tricky. Many of us aren’t even sure what that is.
Taking that first step requires courage.
Getting what you want can be scary. Especially after living for so long not knowing, and getting used to not having.
What if there were a way to be sure about what you wanted? About what’s most important to you?On the path to getting clear, it helps to have access to counsel.
Courage and counsel are two essential ingredients in a recipe for self-actualization.
A coach’s counsel can be the catalyst you need to fulfill your potential, expand your capacity and help you live a life aligned with your core values.
