Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Ashika Lessani . We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Hi Ashika , thanks for joining us today. Let’s start with the story of your mission. What should we know?

My mission is derived from my own failures and success stories. Being a mentor and health coach in the wellness industry online, there is a lot of demand on showing up, working long hours and getting caught up in hustler culture. Many entrepreneurs can get caught in this cycle, and start to lack creativity and drive in their business, Including myself. Having the a back ground as a registered holistic nutritionist, who worked with clients needing support on how to eat for optimal mental health, and personal trainer focusing on longevity and leadership coach providing accountability and clarity in the health and wellness space, it was critical for me to make my own mental, physical, emotional including spiritual health a priority. Also, as a parent it become that much more apparent that my well-being had to be number one.

This personal experience made me come to a massive realization, i may not be the only entrepreneur hitting burnout, chronic fatigue and almost throwing in the towel in my business! There must be others that are suffering with limiting beliefs, decision overload, sleepless nights and simply exhausted. And their personal lives are being effected by this, along with the success of their business. What if i could provide a solution and awareness?? What if i could create a solution to those suffering and help them feel as energetic, mentally alter and emotionally aware as i did? And so i set off to merge my skills, education, personal experiences and help other high performing, driven entrepreneurs a road map to feeling fulfilled, healthy and successful in life. This became my mission as mentor! My mantra became : Your business plan needs a health plan.

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

As a Leadership Coach, Speaker, and Author, my passion lies in empowering individuals to lead fulfilling lives. My primary focus is on helping clients establish robust boundaries, discover their authentic selves, and achieve comprehensive well-being, encompassing mental, emotional, and physical health.

I am the author of “Redesigning the Inner You, A Book of Holistic Wellness,” available on Amazon. Through this book, I aim to deliver motivational and inspiring content that fosters positive mindsets and belief systems. The book provides guidance on making healthier food choices while enjoying the foods we love, effectively managing stress, and facilitating transformative changes from within through practical recipes and insightful reflections.

With a coaching certification from the Certified Coaches Federation, I hold the status of a Certified Coach Practitioner. Before transitioning to coaching, I served as a Registered Holistic Nutritionist and Personal Trainer, receiving my designations from the Canadian School of Natural and INFOFIT-Fitness Career College, respectively. And a Registered Dental Hygiene, educating patient on optimal oral and systemic health for an overall enhanced quality of life. This diverse background allows me to bring a unique coaching style to the table, inspiring individuals to embrace their full potential while providing them with actionable tools to shape their lives with intention.

I ground my approach in the principles of human potential and the science of personal growth. Through personalized, group coaching and online workshops, I support my clients in achieving greater happiness, fulfillment, and overcoming any obstacles hindering their progress. Whether it’s private 1:1 coaching or group coaching for leadership development, my aim is to deliver transformative outcomes.

In working with leadership clients and entrepreneurs, my focus is on helping them in developing peak performance skills, identity and belief system. I work closely with my clients equip them with the tools necessary to make confident decisions, effectively manage stress, prioritize mental and physical well-being, and refine their leadership skills. This holistic approach aims to improve overall performance, reduce burnout, and create a life of purpose and success.

As we continue on a journey of personal growth, we encounter a powerful collision between who we have been and who we aspire to become. This pivotal moment presents an opportunity to redefine our purpose and choices, shaping a new and purposeful “why.” My role is to inspire and support individuals through this transformational process, guiding them towards a future filled with possibilities and growth.

As a mother, I know the importance of leading by example. The experience of parenthood has deepened my dedication to helping women create lives of significance and impact. Being a role model for my son drives me to continuously evolve and grow, inspiring others to do the same for their loved ones and themselves.

I am deeply committed to empowering individuals to embrace their true potential and create a life that is aligned with their aspirations. Through my work, I hope to make a positive impact and inspire positive change in the lives of those I have the privilege to serve.

Any insights you can share with us about how you built up your social media presence?

Building my audience and target market online required me to be comfortable sharing not only my wins but my failures that came along with life transforming lessons. Sharing my journey with my audience has really helped me build an authentic following on social media. Your audience want to know the real you, not the curated version of you. Providing them with valuable content such as motivational post, tips that your ideal audience can start using, behind the scenes of your day to day lifestyle is useful.

Learning my target audience age, demographic, psychographic and providing a solution to their pain point is key. Making sure to conduct market research can save you a lot of time and stress. Speaking to your audience, and asking them specific questions takes the guess work out. And of learning to marketing skills to reach your target audience is critical for the longevity of your business. The greatest advice I can give is: Don’t compare yourself to others! Instead lean about their journey, ask questions and see if they are open mentoring you.

Can you tell us about what’s worked well for you in terms of growing your clientele?

The most effective strategy for growing my clientele is building and nurturing relationships. This comes from showing up online, in emails or blogs as your true self. Your audience needs to build a trust in you before they invest in themselves and in your offer.
