Innervolve was born in the year 2017.
After having a rich and successful corporate experience of more than 25 years, I reached a state of mind that was asking me, what next?
Life was very busy and monotonous, not exciting and definitely not fulfilling. I had got used to working for more than 12 hours a day, an industry norm. Lots of hard work but I did not see the results were aligned to my efforts. I had played the leaders’ role in various functions, but the job looked the same. I checked with friends in other companies, heard the same story. No excitement in work. While they were complaining but they seemed okay to continue the same way. I took a break from work. In hindsight now, it was a big step towards getting what I really wanted.
During the break with time on hand, on reflecting, I realized that my needs and wants had changed. The job that I was doing was not serving those needs and wants. In the meanwhile, I got connected to a coach. My coach very subtly made me look inside. I realized the world was the way I wanted to see it. What I was believing is what I was seeing. I was seeing the world with my own lens. This hit me hard. Actually, there was nothing wrong outside. I was seeing the world with this lens that I had developed over the years. And this lens was defining my world. Looking inside helped me see this lens and obviously, things started looking differently without this lens. And, I always had the liking to develop people and groom them. Together with these, I created a new powerful vision for myself. That which was aligned to my needs and wants. My vision became my mission and it gave me a new purpose to work.
And my journey as a coach started… I enrolled myself in a credentialled program from ICF to become a coach.
So far, I had loved what I did in my career but with coaching, I started doing what I loved to do. I wanted people to power themselves. I wanted people to look inside. I wanted people to look inside to power themselves. And Innervolve was born with a motto… ‘Look inside to power yourself’.
Innervolve is my coaching practice. And I also work now.
