My organization sent me to an overseas assignment in Bangkok, therefore my family (wife, two children, ages 16 and 11) and I moved to Bangkok, Thailand. We were quite enthusiastic for the foreign trip, but found it difficult to acclimate to the new social atmosphere in the first few months. In a nutshell, we didn't have any social contacts with whom we could interact. My wife struggled to spend her day dealing with language barriers, having no one to talk to, and virtually isolating herself at home, wondering why we had made this decision in the first place. Younger child, who was accustomed to playing with friends every evening, struggled to cope with the lack of friends and became addicted to playing computer games or watching television. It was also difficult for me to balance work and home life because of my new job and the changes I had to make at work. We chose to connect to Shital Ma'am after three months of hardship. She spent a significant amount of time counseling us individually as well as with the younger child. Rather than simply offering us advice, she could truly connect with us by sharing real-life experiences, both her own and those of others. She also gave us advice on how to accept the shift and what tiny measures we should take to get there. There is no ideal solution, and we must work together as a family to overcome the obstacles and begin to appreciate the experience. Her extensive topic knowledge and ability to connect with examples proved invaluable in assisting us in moving forward. We are now better positioned and have made strong inroads for our stay in Bangkok to become more harmonious after a few sessions with her. I am extremely grateful for Shital Ma'am's guidance and assistance in overcoming the hurdles associated with such a move. There's no harm in seeking assistance from the appropriate people rather than remaining in a difficult environment.

My journey to become an entrepreneur and start something of my own that I love to do, started when I attended life coach Shital Shah's motivational workshop on 'Being successful in your own way', few years ago. I knew I wanted to do something professionally but was stuck at 'what' and 'how'. This workshop helped me to realize the importance of three P's to become successful professionally & personally - passion, perseverance and patience! If you have these qualities then, sooner or later in life, it will benefit and help you become a successful person. It also helped my vision of doing something that I’m passionate about and I was all the more determined than ever to make it happen. And this positive attitude helped me find my passion eventually and finally my dream of starting something of my own, came true! During the lockdown, I discovered my love for mandalas which gradually inspired me to take a step towards converting my passion into profession and start my own venture of handmade dot mandala products, carefully crafted with love and zeal, under the brand name Neha's Art. Very grateful to Shital ma'am for her guidance and support throughout and glad that I attended her workshop, where it all began!
