Chiral Yadava, Life Transformation Coach
Introduce yourself! Please tell us about you and your life so we can get to know you better.
I'm Chiral, a Life Transformation Coach, Author, and HR Professional. My whole life has revolved around believing we can be anything we wish to be. I started my coaching journey at the age of 16 when the word 'coaching' didn’t even exist in my dictionary. Driven by my passion for helping people be their absolute best and live a happy life, I seized every opportunity that came my way, whether in my personal or professional life.
I was raised in an Indian Army family, where discipline and commitment were instilled in me, and living life for the greater good was emphasized. I travelled extensively within India and experienced various cultures, immersing myself in the rich blend of traditions, languages, and customs that make up this diverse nation.
I completed my Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics and went on to pursue my Master’s in Computers. However, drawn towards my passion for helping others, I transitioned into HR at the initial stages of my career. Ever since, I have loved working in HR as it aligns well with my purpose in life. I had the opportunity to travel and work across various countries, which has been a valuable and enriching experience.
Despite facing numerous personal setbacks in life, I bounced back even stronger and more determined to fight harder. In my endeavor7 to help and inspire others, I wrote my autobiography, which discusses resilience, taking risks, love, breaking self-imposed barriers, stepping out of comfort zones, gratitude, and much more. I also have a creative side; I love directing music videos and crafting heartfelt speeches for my public speaking gigs. Additionally, I am the writer of an award-winning Bollywood short film released in November 2022, titled 'Yahi hai lamha' (This is the moment).
I am the mother of four beautiful kids, though three of them left us very early on and are now in heaven. I just can't stop loving them. I also have two fur babies. I love spending time with my children, having great experiences, and having fun with them.
I aim to continue exploring myself and the world, embracing all the possibilities it has to offer, and sharing the message: Live life to the fullest, as we only have one.
Can you share a bit about your background and what inspired you to start Chiral Life Transformation Coaching?
Coming from an Indian Army background, I was instilled with a deep appreciation for life’s little joys and the true meaning of happiness from a young age. Witnessing my father’s courage and resilience in the face of uncertainty taught me the importance of living in the present moment and embracing gratitude.
As a child, I travelled extensively and was exposed to diverse experiences, instilling in me empathy for others facing challenges. Despite encountering numerous setbacks, each experience only strengthened my resilience, transforming me from a timid child to someone unafraid to confront life’s challenges.
I began coaching at the age of 16 and witnessing the transformative changes in people made me both cry and laugh at the same time. It felt as though the universe was smiling at me, urging me to continue, and I knew deep inside I had found my purpose in life: to help people lead happier lives.
From then on, there was no looking back. My purpose kept growing with me, and I started touching more and more lives. This passion led me to pursue a career in HR, where I spent over 15 years working with multinational organizations and diverse workforces.
Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of coaching individuals at all levels, including CEOs, CIOs, and senior leadership teams, guiding them through life and career challenges. When the COVID-19 pandemic struck, I felt the urge to reach out to even more people, leading me to write my autobiography to inspire and encourage others.
The process of writing my book not only inspired others but also sparked the idea of establishing my own business, Chiral Life Transformation Coaching. Through personalized programs wrapped in amazing, powerful experiences, we aim to empower individuals to become the best versions of themselves, equipped with confidence, resilience, and purpose.
Running my own business allows me the flexibility to innovate and constantly enhance the transformative experiences we offer to clients. It's a dream project where we can make a tangible difference in people's lives by helping them tap into their inner strength, unlock their full potential, and become who they want to be.
