We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Coach Nami. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Coach Nami below.

Coach Nami, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Let’s start with inspirations and heroes. Are there any historical figures you look up to?

The historical figure I admire the most is Mother Teresa. There are five lessons that I have learned from her life and I try to implement in mine.

1. Dedication to Service: Mother Teresa lived by example and exemplified the power of selfless service. Her unwavering commitment to helping others teaches us the importance of compassion and the transformative impact of selfless acts of kindness.

2. Seeing the Light in Everyone: Mother Teresa believed every individual was worthy of being helped, regardless of their background or circumstances. She saw the divine light in each person she served, treating them with love, respect, and empathy. Because of this I try to embrace the humanity of every person I encounter.

3. Making a Difference in Small Ways: Mother Teresa believed in doing small things with great love and emphasized that we everyone can do their part to create positive change. Simple acts of compassion, such as a smile, a kind word, or offering a helping hand, can have a profound impact on humanity, a constant reminder I give myself.

4. Embracing Humility: Mother Teresa displayed so much humility in her actions and demeanor. Despite receiving global recognition for her work, she remained focused on her mission of serving the poor. Her way of living teaches me that no matter how grand the impact, I must always stay rooted in service and humility.

5. Perseverance in the Face of Challenges: Mother Teresa faced numerous challenges and obstacles throughout her journey, and she stayed focused on her mission. Her resilience and determination inspire me to persevere in pursuing my goals and making a positive impact, even when faced with challenges.

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

At the heart of my coaching and speaking philosophy is the belief that every individual possesses a unique set of powers that, once identified and harnessed, can propel them towards greatness. From my diverse background in science, leadership, and personal development, I help clients uncover their strengths, passions, and purpose.

As a speaker, I deliver talks and workshops to diverse audiences, including corporate teams, learning institutions, and community groups. My goal is to provide people with the practical tools and resources to unlock their superpowers and unleash their inner superhero.

It is my vision to establish the third quotient in the world: MQ – the mastery of your mind. As CEO and Founder of The Mind Quotient®, I am partnering with other activists around the globe to teach others how to achieve a high MQ. You will often find my saying: “With a high MQ, you can get through the tough times in your life faster and smarter because you know yourself and know what you need. To get out, you must first go in.”

We often hear about learning lessons – but just as important is unlearning lessons. Have you ever had to unlearn a lesson?

The biggest lesson I had to unlearn is the belief that all the answers we seek are external to us. As coaches, we are taught in the beginning that individuals possess the answers within themselves to overcome challenges and achieve their goals. I had spent a significant portion of my life seeking validation, approval, love, respect, and happiness from external sources, unaware that everything I longed for actually resided within me.

Realizing this created a huge shift in my perspective. It led me to embark on a growth journey of self-discovery and introspection, where I began to explore my own inner light. I discovered a wealth of wisdom, strength, and potential that had always been present, yet buried. By turning inward and unlocking my own intuition, values, and inner resources, I found the answers and guidance that I had been seeking externally.

This unlearning process allowed me to cultivate self-reliance, self-acceptance, and self-love. I realized that true peace comes from alignment with my true self and honoring my own passion and purpose. It liberated me from the ongoing cycle of seeking external validation and taught me to trust my own judgment and intuition.

As a coach, this lesson influences my approach. I now guide individuals to explore their own inner light and tap into their innate resources. I help them shift their focus from external validation to self-empowerment, encouraging them to trust themselves and their ability to navigate life’s challenges. By recognizing that the answers they seek lie within, they can cultivate a deep sense of self-awareness, confidence, and resilience to become who they were meant to be.

Can you tell us about a time you’ve had to pivot?

In my core, I have always felt a calling towards teaching and serving others. It is as if the Universe had a path for me, and no matter how I strayed, I was continuously pulled back to this purpose. It became increasingly clear to me that fighting against our true selves is challenging and can lead to misalignment.

I firmly believe that each one of us is born into this world with unique gifts and abilities, our own superpowers. Throughout our human journey, we are meant to share these gifts with the world, to unleash the inner superhero that resides within. Resisting our true nature is unnatural – an act of denying our authentic selves.

As I reflect upon pivotal moments in my life, I can see now that the Universe was guiding me to evolve into the person I am destined to be. Every instance where I have had to make a significant “pivot” or navigate unexpected changes has ultimately been the Universe’s way of guiding me towards embracing and embodying my true purpose. It is a process of shedding societal expectations, dismantling self-imposed limitations, and embracing the full spectrum of my potential.

Embracing this belief has been transformative. It has allowed me to follow my calling, embracing the peace that comes from living in alignment with my authentic self. This is why I encourage others to embark on their own transformative journeys. I am passionate about helping individuals recognize their unique gifts, overcome limiting beliefs, and step into their true power. For it when the Universe stops pivoting us that we stand exactly where we should be.
