Who is KeKe Chanel, and what inspired you to start your business?
KeKe Chanel is a small-town girl from Greensburg, Louisiana, who aspired to rise above her surroundings and dedicated herself to making that dream a reality. Facing life's challenges at a young age taught her to adapt rather than succumb to victimhood. She founded her business with the goal of inspiring others to transform their mindsets through positive personal development, recognizing the profound impact that words can have on one’s life. Ultimately, it’s our thoughts that hold the most signiflcance during any stage we encounter. At times, we may feel trapped, and that’s where my business steps in to support others as they navigate the less favorable aspects of life and continue moving forward.
What problem do you solve for your clients, and why is it so important?
The challenge I address for my clients is facilitating a shift in their mindset by fostering positive personal development. It's essential to recognize the light at the end of the tunnel and avoid becoming trapped by fear of what lies ahead. At P.U.S.H. (Proclaiming, Unbreakable, Self, Healing), our mission is to transform the way my clients think. How do we achieve this? By unpacking mental burdens to create a new mindset centered on positive growth. We empower individuals to discover their inner light and keep it glowing, even in the face of adversity.
How do you ensure your clients achieve the best results with your services?
We conduct regular coaching sessions, assign tasks, and clearly communicate before signing any contract that we will support them throughout their journey. It’s important for each client to understand from the start that they are not alone in this process. Stepping outside of one’s comfort zone can be difficult and may lead to challenges in maintaining progress. However, at P.U.S.H., we pride ourselves on being open, honest, and transparent with our clients.
What sets your approach apart from others in your industry?
What distinguishes our approach from others in the industry is a unique method I created. While I won't reveal the name, it consists of four phases, each progressively challenging the client and guiding them toward their aspirations by the end of our collaboration. Although it requires significant commitment, we ensure that the journey is enjoyable as well.
Can you share a success story of a client who benefited from working with you?
Yes, I had the opportunity to work with a client a few years back who experienced a significant breakthrough during the second phase of the program. Initially, she struggled with confidence and often engaged in negative self-talk. What makes this story particularly special is that while I am guided by my faith, she was not. One day, she became emotional, and I asked if I could pray for her. Although she was hesitant at first, she eventually agreed. That moment transformed everything! At P.U.S.H., we not only guide our clients toward a positive mindset through personal growth but also foster spiritual enlightenment. We still stay in touch, and I’m thrilled to share that she is thriving!
What is the most common challenge your clients face, and how do you help them overcome it?
The primary challenge my clients encounter is self-doubt. I assist them in transforming their self-perception by guiding them through the program, one step at a time. If necessary, I customize the approach to meet them where they currently are, rather than strictly following the method I designed. This helps them release any self-imposed beliefs that they are unworthy of more.
How do you stay current with trends and developments in your field?
I don’t typically keep up with trends in my field. Instead, I follow industry leaders and invest in training that enables me to develop innovative courses and techniques, eventually helping my clients achieve their goals.
What are the most rewarding aspects of your work?
One of the most fulfilling parts of my job is observing my clients' journeys from their starting point to their ultimate transformation. It truly is a beautiful experience. Assisting individuals in unpacking their mental baggage can be quite challenging, but the rewards are immense. If I can change even one mindset, I feel my work has been accomplished.
How do you make sure your clients feel heard and understood throughout the process?
Being fully engaged throughout their coaching journey is essential. I listen with purpose, recognizing and validating their needs. I reassure them that they can finish strong and thrive even after our time together concludes. I also maintain an open line of communication for whenever they seek encouragement or inspiration.
How does your work impact your clients’ lives beyond just the immediate results?
The work I do profoundly influences my clients' lives, extending far beyond immediate outcomes by providing them with something they were missing when they first approached me: a shift in mindset. This transformation establishes a foundation for their entire lives. By viewing situations from a new perspective, they experience a change that enhances not only their mental state but also their overall well-being, helping them to cultivate the lifestyle they aspire to achieve.
What advice would you give someone who is thinking about working with you?
The advice I would offer to anyone considering working with me is straightforward: just go for it! Your life will transform in ways that are incredibly rewarding.
