Passion Makes People Do Great Things!
Practically speaking, in the eyes of the world, we are what we do and that’s how people perceive us (no matter what we would love to do).

I have changed many jobs and work areas in my life in order to find what would be the right career fit. It has been a difficult journey but it also brought diversity in my profile with versatile work experiences.
With years of experience, now I am trying to use my diverse experience along with BPM /Six Sigma in my practical work and personal life.
My true area of work passion is 'Communications'.
That includes business communications, marketing communications, interpersonal communications, which I use in personal and work coaching.
Normally, I primarily coach with writing through my articles and books to provide you DIY (Do It Yourself) help. But I also take limited clients who may need some engaged coaching in any one of the areas.
