In times like these where we are constantly surrounded by politics, religion, media, racial injustice, human trafficking, and the belief system. It is very easy to conform to the patterns of the world, instead of living to be the change within it. Furthermore, in March 2020 not only were we faced with the COVID-19 virus, but during that year, we dealt with racial injustice regarding the death of George Floyd, an 85% increase of human trafficking from 2011-2020, media controversy conditioning the minds of man-kind on what to think vs how to think. And to top it off let’s throw in the belief system! Our belief system is constantly being influenced by all the things that revolve around us daily, weekly, monthly and annually. According to Proverbs 23:7 that states “as a man thinketh so is he,” this verse positions us to be more self aware and ask ourselves, what am I allowing to influence my thought process? Additionally, with these current events that took place, we can either lose hope or choose to live above the influence. Growing up I always had an interest for wanting to influence others by either providing a listening ear or encouraging others to become the best version of theirself. In the middle of 2020, I had sought out to figure out which industry would grant me the privilege to utilize my my gifts, to impact people, families, and communities. And at first I had a peek interest in wanting to pursue Life Coaching, but in an industry that is very saturated, I had decided that this would not have been a wise choice. Because not only did I want to be apart of a significant industry, but I also wanted to make a name for myself my own way. As a Life Coach in my opinion, it just was not good enough, due to the fact that not one human being is prominent in all aspects of life such as spiritually, emotionally, physically, mentally and financially. Upon having a change in heart, I made the decision to pursue Mind Coaching. God created human beings and not perfect beings. As a Mind Coach, not only could I help those who are in need overcome depression, anxiety, trauma , etc. I can also, bridge the gap between self discovery through identifying self concepts and triggering change from within a person(s) through personal growth and development habits. In the long run, I have been able to provide a voice for people, families, and communities. Ultimately, in 2020 was when I made the decision to make a name for myself in an industry that was never heard of, while embracing being uncomfortable.That was when I took the greatest risk of all!

Hello ladies and gentlemen, my name is Gardy. I am originally from Brooklyn NY. And was born on Feb 9, 1994. Growing up, I was more of an introvert than an extrovert, but as I matured, I slowly became more extroverted. To say it most, my discipline really stirs up from just embracing my cultural roots and background. Growing up within a Caribbean house hold, there is very little room for quiting on goals, Because accomplishing goals not only played a part in boosting your self esteem, but it also glorifies your family roots, traditions, culture, and character. As a Mind Coach, a few of the services that I provide are counseling, mentoring, excercise, meal planning, Cognitive Behavioral therapy, etc. When I sit down with someone for the first time, the objective is to assist that person(s) to become more self aware of their identity. And to take them through a curriculum that will direct towards reinventing their habits and pursuing personal growth and development. The main thing that sets me a part is implementing 85% of listening and %15 of talking.

I would say that in the process of serving others on this journey, I am most proud of my willingness to consistently stay young by reading three books a month. Not only is knowledge power, but the knowledge stored within us to further unleash it, and impact those around us, is the power essential to make a difference in lives of others. Overall, the only take away that potential clients should expect from me is that there voice will be heard.

To begin with, the most effective method that I would say is the method for me to build my clientele is through referrals. I once read a book titled “The E-Myth Revisited.” And the moral of the book is to not work in your business, but work on your business and there is no better way to work on your business than through people. I look at alot of small businesses that launch and they focus on advertising through bill boards , media, news papers, etc. Furthermore, the small businesses tend to overlook one key form of advertisment and that’s through people. People are the best form of advertisment because if your product or service is significant, people will not mind planting seeds and directing traffic your way.

Ultimately, what helped me build my reputation within my market were three methods. First one being personal growth towards myself. John Maxwell had a quote that states, “everything rises and falls on leadership.” If I wanted to grow my market and attract clients that actually want to grow and change, I had to realize one thing, and that is that everything in life first starts with self awareness. Second method that assisted me within my market is referrals. The greatest form of advertisment is word of mouth. If you’re good, people will talk about you, especially if you’re in an industry where few listeners exist. Lastly, the final method that assisted me was having a willingness to converse with people and meet people where they are at in life within conversation and not just destination. If we really pay attention to what others are saying, most people actually open up to you for the sake of just simply having someone who has a willingness to listen intently to what they are saying.
