From an underconfident young lady to a Life Coach with Rs 2.5 crore yearly pay

"Prepared to reboot your life? It'll assist you with making your most ideal variant 2.0 that gets you invigorated every day to make the existence of your fantasies. "My point is to rouse and outfit you with abilities and instruments to live with inspiration and acknowledge it is never past the time to begin." This is the commitment Shilpa Singh offers to the people who select her internet-based persuasive studios.

“My aim is to inspire and equip you with skills and tools to live with motivation and realize it is never too late to start.” This is the promise Shilpa Singh offers to those who enroll in her online motivational workshops. After 14 years in the corporate world, starting as a credit card sales executive at Standard Chartered Bank in Mumbai in 2004 and moving up the ladder with stints at IFFCO-Tokio, Universal Sompo, and Tata Motors, Shilpa realized that life was not just about earning money but living it to the full.

How a shy girl with poor self-esteem, who would hide behind her classmates to avoid being noticed by teachers, someone who was average in studies with not even extracurricular achievements to boast of, transformed into a life coach with an annual income of Rs 2.5 crore makes an inspiring tale. I could not speak fluent English and didn’t participate even in cultural activities, says Shilpa, who, as a Life Coach today, relies on her excellent communication skills to inspire and motivate people to live a confident and happy life.

Shilpa remembers that she had not taken MBA with any career objective, but only because many, including her friends, were opting for it. It was an even worse situation when she fell in love with a classmate, Abhishek Singh, who had a good sense of humor and made her laugh. Meanwhile, Shilpa couldn’t get a job at the campus placements.

All the top companies hired my friends with high packages, but I didn’t get any job. Through a friend, she got a job as a Credit Card Sales Executive at Standard Chartered Bank. Later she got better jobs and worked at IFFCO-Tokio (2005-08), Universal Sompo (2008-16), and Tata Motors (2016-19). At the time of quitting her job at Tata Motors, she was earning around Rs 20 lakh per annum.

Today, Shilpa is her own boss, and is motivating many people to come out of their shells, and live a confident life through a three-part transformational workshop series that she has been conducting for the last couple of years. Her starter course is a five-day program that begins daily at 5 a.m. for which she charges Rs 199.

Talking about her programs, she says the desire to change has to first come from the client. “In the corporate rat race for survival, kindness is nowhere to be seen,” she says, explaining the reason for quitting her well-paying job and starting to explore ways to live a more fulfilling life. The stress of corporate life took a toll on her health, so much so that she would reply, ‘I am not fine when anyone asked how she was doing. “In spite of that, I kept on going without listening to my inner voice,” says Shilpa.

“I was so under-confident that I believed I deserved only this much in life. Today, professional Life Coaches train people in positive thinking and help them to live a disciplined and productive life. Shilpa hired one such coach in May 2019 and when she saw the changes in her life, she decided to become a Life Coach herself. She quit her job at Tata Motors and trained under 15 different coaches for a total of around 2500 hours.

I invested all my savings of Rs 15 lakh to become a Life Coach,” reveals Shilpa. Shilpa did extremely well as more and more people joined her courses. Today, Shilpa lives with her husband and her two children at a posh house – valued around Rs 3 crore - they recently bought at Wadala in Mumbai.
