When I first met Harish, I was going through a particularly challenging period in my life. I was entrenched in an emotionally abusive relationship, and I was experiencing significant trauma (although I didn’t realize it as such at the time). I had lost touch with who I was, what my values were, and what I wanted to accomplish in life. In short, I felt stuck and paralyzed with indecision in most areas in life.
Over a period of a year and half of receiving life coaching services from Harish, I found the strength and clarity to completely change my life. I left my relationship, moved from the mainland USA to Hawaii, and followed my passion by opening a portrait photography business. Harish supported and encouraged me throughout these major life changes-- he continues to be one of my greatest cheerleaders.
Although he is incredibly wise and inspiring, Harish never told me how to solve my problems or what to do. Instead, he helped me to identify patterns and beliefs that weren’t serving me well, and he encouraged me to tap into my own inner wisdom and intuition. Rather than focusing on the past (as therapy tends to do), Harish’s coaching perspective emphasized a present moment and future orientation and encompassed a holistic view. One of the most valuable things that I’ve gained from working with Harish is an understanding of the importance of bringing more play, creativity, and joy into my day-to-day life.
Harish is truly one of the most kind and compassionate souls that I’ve ever encountered. He is an excellent listener, and he is gifted with the ability to give gentle, yet constructive feedback. Harish knows how to ask poignant questions at just the right moment to spur profound introspection. His deep passion for coaching, and people in general, shines through with each interaction. Harish has a zest for life that is contagious!
If you are navigating a major life change (such as with a relationship or a career) or feel stuck in certain areas in your life, Harish can help you to clarify your goals and develop an action plan for moving forward. Even if you are already satisfied with where you are in life, Harish can provide the encouragement and teach you the principles needed to propel yourself to the next level (after all, we all have areas upon which we can improve). He will challenge you to think in new and resourceful ways, and to embrace the beauty of life.
Harish, I’d like to offer you a heartfelt gratitude for your support and all of the lessons that I’ve learned from you. Thank you for sharing your gifts with me!
