Coach To Fortune (CTF) came to me at a crossroad of my life. I had quit my high paying and stable corporate job to be on compassionate leave for caregiving of my ailing mother .I was decisive about spending time with my mother who was diagnosed with a rare type of Cancer. I was searching for an alternative career in Coaching to keep myself intellectually engaged while ensuring smooth flow of funds during our journey with the king of diseases . All these years in my HR career I had been passionate about coaching , mentoring and reverse mentoring people . I knew it was my passion . I was in search of a suitable certification program for a social stamp .The Signs is Universe appeared . I came across a catchy flyer for Coach to Fortune thanks to the brilliant digital media team of Arfeen Khan . Who does not know Arfeen Khan in the space of Multilevel Marketing? I had a business HR stint with Unilever Network Marketing team wherein the sales training team was enamoured of AKs ability to engage hearts and minds for selling concepts . In this context I had attended his seminars in the past when he had inspired people to walk on glass challenging the limits of their mind gripped with phobia.
While I had planned to attend the seminar of Gemini Dhar (a well known business woman and an eminent public speaker) , I had to abort the plan to spend time with mother who had to be rushed to Hospital on that particular day . I had forgotten about it totally and consciously . AK s marketing lead team was persistent enough to send yet another mailer which made me think. I enrolled once again. I chose to attend the seminar hosted by Dr Reeta Shah . I was definitely impressed by Dr Shahs achievements and her conviction about the process during the seminar. The approach of the program appealed to my logical mind . You can get started and invest part time .To me Money cannot be the only reason for coaching. What appealed to my heart was AKs vision and his clarion call about Coaching for a higher purpose to make a difference to self first and to the community at large. Despite lot of promises , it was difficult for me to decide to invest my money in the CTF program when I needed funds for my mothers expensive treatment and anything surplus would have been utilised to start my own venture and provide support during the initial phase . But then the strategy meeting happened . Dinaaz with her conviction and inspiring story influenced me a lot . After that it was only about organising the funds . Luckily the money arrived in the form of a long forgotten and long pending settlement. Rightly Dinaaz had said if you want it the Universe will help you .
Respect for the CTF process , my coaches and the incredible AK team .
Going through the CTF process , I understood this was a breakthrough moment for me .
The CTF process is simple, practical , outcome oriented and can applied to individual as well group setting . It can work in all areas of Coaching which I took my own time to believe .
My second Breakthrough moment came during my journey of Self Coaching . I learned who I am during the best , good and average phase . I was made conscious about the Baselines ( Core Value) abundance,making a difference ,community , leadership ,spirituality and integrity . I reaffirmed to myself my life’s purpose through a systemic process which I had been discovering in the past 8 quarters of my life . I also discovered my N Codes inherited from childhood- “ I cannot live for my purpose as I have to discharge my duties “ “ I don’t need much money for a minimalist and missionary life” . Writing empowering code (E Code ) was the first step of self transformation which also reinforced my morning ritual . There is no looking back .
The third Breakthrough moment came while writing my 50 outcomes . I was always keen to write a few books . I had worked over the years to get the nuggets ready . However I did not focus . My peers ,bosses , friends and sister had always encouraged me to write one . I doubted my priority and preparation“ I am not ready “. While doing the outcome exercise I realised this is my outcome for the next 12 months . I have already made my plan .
Thanks to the power of energising MMM meets of CTF , I am better able to handle my mothers journey with Cancer with my family . I coached my sister Sanjukta BasuChoudhury on CTF . I had written down by VISION for the first time in 2005 ,Lonavala HUL HR Conference ( to make a difference to the lives of people through Coaching ).I believe CTF has given me a process to S•T•I•C•K to my purpose , vision and mission for life .

|| LIFE, LEADERSHIP & SPIRITUALITY ||

The term “Spirituality” is used quite frequently these days . At times it is oversimplified and at times it is too complicated . Spiritual “gurus” are at times larger than life itself , no pun intended . Spirituality in leadership is often emphasised , especially in the VUCA world of our times .
What is spirituality actually ? Is there an universal philosophy?
To my seeking mind , spirituality is a way of being . You can expand your awareness and consciousness with the Universe and define your own spirituality and spiritual practices for yourself .
Who are spiritual seekers? Can atheists become spiritual seekers ?
Spiritual seekers have realised that they do not know everything ,so they are seeking. Those who have stopped seeking by believing they know the ultimate cannot claim to be spiritual .To spiritual seekers ,the teacher can be life itself and the lineage can be love .
True seekers are not using spirituality as a pretext for escaping their responsibilities. They work day and night selflessly to serve society. They undergo intensive training to meditate ,access consciousness and undertake selfless work and are champions of servant leadership .
What is the essence of Spirituality in Leadership especially in the context of VUCA world of today ?
There are three factors that make one a human being: The longing, after due deliberation, to understand the depth and significance of life.The ability to love others. The strength to enjoy and to spread joy among others.Spirituality teaches us to realise these three. Only then ,human life becomes fulfilled.The spiritual leader strives for a workplace that is truly a community, comprising employees with shared values ,beliefs & purpose .
Employees derive greater meaning from work and sense of fulfilment.
Are the two emergent models of Leadership, “ servant and spiritual “ really different or, on the contrary similar, with different labels?
Empirical studies share a similar root and a holistic approach to leadership in which the leader strives to encourage a sense of significance and interconnectedness among the employees.
How is it possible to live in the present and enjoy the power of now? Is spirituality teaching
us escapism ?
Another practical , profound and contemporaneous topic . Well. Spirituality does not teach us escapism . True spiritual seekers do not escape their trauma . They process the emotions , remove the blockages ,heal the wound and make peace with their past .They peel the several layers of the mind to process the residue.Only then they can discover their inner power of now. We can choose to live with our trauma if we make peace with your past . With the peace that passes understanding we can be at peace in the present .
What is the Spiritual take on resurrection or rising or ascension ?
Inspired by JEFF BROWN’s thought on grounded spirituality,in life if we are continually seeking and learning ,we can resurrect many times . He is risen that’s what is said every Easter . Christ said those who believe in Him will live even if they die.
Have we contemplated the true meaning of resurrection ? Once we find meaning in our existence and transmute through spiritual practices , we resurrect .We are incredibly lucky if we go through many resurrecting experiences in one lifetime like the Phoenix rising from the ashes ! Life is akin to movement ,growth , enhancement of awareness , “Light and more Light” as Goethe said before his death. When we peel our many layers and allow new awareness and enlightenment , we are born yet again in the same lifetime .
Let us live consciously , be open to experiences to allow light of wisdom , rejuvenate our souls , resurrect many a time in this one life time . Only then we will arrive at our grave with fulfilment and freedom .

Painstakingly Sensitive , Comfortably Numb
- Moon Ray
- I am what I am! A claim to perfection I have not. Perfect I don't want to be. I, like you.....am human. Prone to make mistakes. Failure is not a character flaw, Just a part of the human makeup. I live, I laugh , I also learn. I am groping all the time, In waking hours as well in slumber. I have a long road to travel... Accept me as I am because I am ....me. No one like me in the world. That is my only guarantee!!
