Raised in a humble family, my father was a teacher, entrepreneur, politician and social worker in a small town in Fiji, famous for its tourism location, known as the coral coast town of Sigatoka. Mother was a homemaker and growing up as the only son (with 3 female siblings) had its challenges. I always believed that having a balance in life was critical, be it studies, sports, socialising, relationship, career, family, finances, friends and life in general.
My strongest quality eventually unfolded for me, and that was leadership. It started at a very early age as class prefect, school prefect and later in high school as school orator and debater. After finishing high school, I did not know what I really wanted to do and ended up starting a job as a stock taker in one of the major resorts on the Coral coast.
My career then took me to banking and I started enjoying this, not only the career side but also my passion of helping people. I joined an international service club called the Apex Clubs of Fiji and became their youngest national president of the association at the age of 25. Leading this association was the turning point with my leadership skills. It allowed me to understand that communication and self development came with knowing what personalities there are. I found that I could talk to anyone! I worked closely with youths through another organisation and became their national youth advisor.
In May 2000, Fiji had a military coup which saw most skilled workers leaving. I was one of those. In May 2002 I moved to Canada with my family. With the support of my loving spouse, Pratibha and my children, I continued on the path of helping another, be it at work or on the sports field or in my community volunteer events or with family and friends.
My journey to help has only just started!
We all want our life to have purpose, but at times find ourselves in this space of the unknown, trying to figure out what it is that really makes us better. It’s only through the journey that we find our purpose and create a feeling of inner happiness and satisfaction for ourselves. One’s wellness and life lessons become a huge part of creating our present moment, which leads us to the future we all graciously and gratefully aspire to.
We create this future by courageously taking that journey, and breaking down our beliefs and judgements along the way.
As your life coach, I’ll walk with you along your life’s unique path, helping you navigate the bridges and make life a true adventure.
Let's take the journey … together!
