Natasha Olga Gulati (PCC)
Founder - Imagine Success

I have experienced a wonderfully adventurous life leading me to incredible success, corporate repute, national fame and all kinds of rewards. But I have also experienced significant failures, social humiliation, poverty and abuse. I know personally what drives us to addictive patterns, whether in the form of substance, emotional states of being or behaviours just so we can cope with the pain of life, fear of the failure and the constant living in survival. AND I also know what it takes to stop and look at those patterns and decide to change them for the better. I know what it takes to separate myself from the external world, to be in control of my own life experiences and be free of thoughts, patterns and beliefs that don’t work for me anymore.

My recent experience of Immigrating to Canada at the hight of my professional career in India, only to be confounded with the reality of settling into a new country and culture, closely compounded by the global bleakness of the pandemic, has shaped who I have now become - a resilient, decidedly authentic and determined human.

The immigration experience brought to the surface all my deepest insecurities, intensified by being laid off just before the pandemic, plunging me into the depths of despair, where I started feeling like I had failed life and may never feel successful again. Somehow I found the courage to hold onto hope and face all my innermost demons, one day at a time, slowly and steadily making my way out of the darkness and into the light, where I started to remember who I truly was, and had always been, without the baggage of the past.

I am in control of my own life, because I learned how to take full responsibility of my own thoughts and emotions, and I had the courage to learn to look at myself through the eyes of Love and Compassion about all the aspects that were keeping me stuck in a negative pattern or in thoughts about the past or the future. It was hard at first, but now nothing less will do.

Besides the gift of solitude during the pandemic allowing me to reflect deeply and face some difficult and sometimes ugly truths about myself, I had the absolute blessing of being coached by some fabulous humans who helped me find my core strengths again and shift my narrative about my early and adult life experiences so that they served me as lessons to mature from rather than keep me stuck in a defensive or defeatist mindset.

Having experienced the profound container of coaching to do some deeply personal and transformational work, I remember thinking ‘This is the missing piece I’d been looking for over my entire Human Resources career! The practical process to create the most empowering space for any human to rise to their own greatest versions of themselves, no matter what their past experiences, if they so choose.’

Jumping right in, I became a Certified Leadership Coach, founded Imagine Success and have never looked back even for a moment!

I found the key to deep and authentic transformation.

And if I can, you can. Choose success.
