Finding the right life coach


  • Shamans
  • Love
  • Light
  • Yoga
  • Kundalini 
  • Yogini
  • Namaste
  • Tattoos
  • Crystals
  • New age 
  • Woman in robes with long hair
  • Releasing chakras
  • Accessing your blocked energies
  • Attracting abundance
  • Living in the present moment


The above are some of the things you will see most spiritual teachers and coaches mentioning in their blog, instagram feed and website.They will claim to release all your energy blocks and help you attract love and abundance in your life.All they will expect you to do it pay them obnoxious amounts of money for their mere presence or even a skype/telephonic.They will give you crystals to wear and some pre-recorded meditations and claim that it will overhaul your life

There is a second bunch of coaches who will have a fantastic story of an epiphany they had due to which they left their corporate job and wanted to help and serve people and are hence coaching.They will claim that you too can have financial abundance and live a life of complete freedom if you adopt their lifestyle.Their instagram feed will have pictures of them lounging in exotic locations with their dog/partner all the time .Rest of their feed will consist of bashing capitalism.Where the money for these travels comes from, whether they are able to pay bills and what kind of life they are actually living beneath the bubble of their social media are things nobody knows.

Both the above mentioned categories are to be avoided.They are both gold diggers looking to make an easy buck at your expense.They lack training,know how and skills to help a person transform though.

Avoid the prospective coach if they have following red flags:

  • No certifications
  • Act pushy on the first call
  • Make unrealistic claims
  • Can't explain onboarding and coaching process with ease
  • Are charging towards the top of the range
  • You get uncomfortable in their presence
  • They seem inauthentic
  • Their claims distort reality
  • They seem too glib and smooth to be true


Things to look for in a prospective coach

  • Empathy
  • Compassion
  • Resilience
  • They don't make any unrealistic promises
  • You feel comfortable around them
  • They have track record of stability and paying clients
  • They are constantly trying to improve their own self

Insecure Boss Syndrome and how to deal

Hello everybody, This is my first post today and I thought i'd start with a super-common yet extremely important topic-an asshole /insecure boss . We spend a large part of our lives at the workplace and are often plagued with horrible managers.Also, it is extremely unfortunate that we do not choose our managers but they are assigned to us. A good manager can lead to motivation, growth, skill improvement and promotions while a bad one can create unhappiness, tears, emotional pain, anger and frustration. Lets first delve into the characterstics of an insecure manager: Micromanages Does not trust you Does not stand up for employees in front of clients Is overtly critical Requires updates every 5 minutes Cannot appreciate good work Feels threatened by employees who are better than him Creates and fuels team politics Plays favorites Openly insults employees Uses control as a means to feel secure Creates artificial sense of urgency Is never at peace The most im...

Why we repeat same patterns in all relationships

The first meeting Fleeting glances Smiles and laughter Diner dates Walks on the beach Commitment Moving in together Disagreements Non-matching intimacy requirements Fights Explosive fights Quest for peace Breakup Zen meditation class Temporary peace Same patterns in next relationship(s) This is how relationships typically pan out and thereafter one wonders why each of my relationships followed the same course-same type of partner, same reasons for incompatibility ,same kinds of endings. The answer to this lies in wiring in childhood. In our development phases as children, we observe our immediate caregivers and our parents marriage is the first model for what a marriage looks like. What also matters is the quality of our relationship with opposite sex parent-it models our subsequent interactions with members of the opposite sex. If our opposite sex parent was abusive, we wow to ourselves never to be with someone like that. However, if we look back at our relat...
