Kamilla Pinel, Certified Life, Energy and Leadership Coach


Tell us a little bit about yourself and why you became a certified coach.


I was born and raised in Uzbekistan, a country deeply entrenched in traditional values. At the age of 19, I grew eager to challenge the norms within my surroundings. So, I embarked on a journey to the US as a student, with only one goal in mind to prove my independence. The experience of being an immigrant with limited language skills in a foreign culture was daunting, and at the same time, it fueled my hunger for success. As an ambitious young woman, I strived to achieve the conventional markers of success, ultimately earning a degree in Finance and landing prestigious offers from leading global corporations. The last box on my “success list” was checked when I was offered a job in the city of my dreams, the vibrant New York City. On the surface, my life was ecstatic, with both my career and personal life seemingly thriving. Yet, between the glitz of city life and corporate success, I felt an unexplainable void within me that couldn't be filled by external accomplishments. It wasn't until the unprecedented events of the 2020 pandemic quieted down the hustle and bustle of everyday life that I finally paid attention to the persistent voice within me calling for self-discovery. This pivotal moment led me to embark on a profound journey of introspection, culminating in my decision to pursue a certification and the International Coaching Federation accreditation in coaching. As a result, I am now a professional life, energy, and leadership coach and a speaker, passionate to share my transformative experiences and insights with others.


What are you most passionate about helping your clients with?


I am deeply passionate about guiding my clients and my audiences through the process of unearthing their authentic selves and liberating them from the layers of societal expectations and self-doubt. I believe that true fulfillment comes from aligning one's goals with their innermost values and aspirations. By delving into their deepest desires and stripping away external influences, we work collaboratively to craft a roadmap that leads to genuine self-discovery and lasting fulfillment.


Tell us about the impact coaching has had on the clients you’ve worked with.


Each coaching relationship kicks off with an assessment, which offers my clients a profound glimpse into their present emotional and energetic state, uncovering the deeply rooted blocks that prevent them from the desired growth. This initial step creates an immense level of awareness, opening up numerous blind spots and equipping my clients with tools to make conscious choices. That forms the foundation for our continued exploration through their emotional obstacles, self-talk, and limiting beliefs. One of the most significant outcomes for my clients has been liberation from self-doubt and societal pressures. They revive their trust in their inner wisdom, taking charge of their own lives and crafting a sustainable roadmap towards their aspirations. By doing that, they break free from unfulfilling jobs and relationships, embracing newfound happiness and authenticity. Seeing my clients’ transformations is completely awe-inspiring and motivates me to continue on my journey.


Why do you think they were able to get those results?


The key to their remarkable progress lies in their realization of their roles as creators of their destinies, embracing their fears and vulnerabilities with a conscious and curious mindset. Coupled with this newfound awareness, they embrace a mindset of conscious decision-making, making deliberate choices that align with their authentic selves. They navigate life with a deep understanding of the law of attraction, reshaping their responses and welcoming transformative change. This conscious way of living becomes ingrained in their being, paving the way for profound personal growth and fulfillment.


What are your big vision and goals for your life?


My ultimate vision is to inspire individuals who feel trapped in the monotony of their everyday lives, urging them to recognize the innate potential within themselves. I want to empower as many people as I can to embark on a journey of self-discovery and personal growth, believing that even the smallest steps can lead to monumental transformations. My goal is to serve as a catalyst for change, encouraging others to embrace their unique paths to self-realization and fulfillment.


If success were a recipe, what are the ingredients in your experience as a coach?


In my experiences as a coach, the recipe for success comprises various essential components. These include heightened self-awareness, a profound understanding of one's intentions, the power of sensory visualization, mindful presence, unwavering commitment, a touch of humor to navigate life's challenges, and the invaluable trait of flexibility, enabling individuals to adapt and evolve along their journey of self-discovery.


I know these past couple of years have been quite busy for you, tell our readers how you managed to stay on top of everything.


It's all about being brutally honest and forgiving with myself. I work long hours, I go to networking and speaking engagements and I nurture my mental well-being through regular meditation. Every minute I don't spend working, I spend with my baby and that could be a job on its own. So, I prioritize relentlessly, I ask for help and I listen to my body’s and mind’s needs to recharge. No matter what's happening in my world, I know, I can only be the best coach, wife, and mom if I feel like my best self. I know my boundaries and don’t try to squeeze just a little more juice out of myself, even if that means not being “on top of everything”. Recognizing that my well-being is paramount in my ability to support others, I approach each day with a mindful focus on holistic wellness and inner peace.


What is one thing that you want to leave our readers with?


I urge readers to embrace the journey of self-discovery with an open mind and a sense of curiosity, acknowledging that transformation often begins with a single step. By embracing vulnerability and seeking guidance from mentors and coaches, individuals can unlock the profound potential within themselves, paving the way for a life of authenticity, fulfillment, and joy.
