We recently connected with Ravin Patel and have shared our conversation below.
Ravin, appreciate you joining us today. Do you think your parents have had a meaningful impact on you and your journey?
My parents have been instrumental in my success. Not only did they both lead by example but they celebrated my victories along the way. My parents were so validating along the way whether tragedy or triumph and constantly reminded me to believe in myself.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
My name is Ravin (Vinny) Patel! I am a physician and certified personal trainer. I create workout and medical motivation through my Instagram. My mission is to empower individuals through mentorship and motivation so that they can achieve their dreams. I show people that they are worthy of greatness. My greatest moments come from messages and comments of individuals experiencing their own triumph and using my story and posts as a reason to keep going.
Other than training/knowledge, what do you think is most helpful for succeeding in your field?
One of the most undervalued tools for being successful in the health and fitness space is empathy. Every patient or client is an individual and should be treated as such. They all have their own set of circumstances and past history. Demonstrating understanding that you are ready to individualize their care plan is huge!
Do you have any insights you can share related to maintaining high team morale?
To manage a team in any capacity, I truly believe you are the one to set the tone. You have to be ready to perform any task that you are asking other individuals to do. Leading by example is the best thing. If you expect your team to be punctual with deadlines, you have to be early. You have to acknowledge all the small victories and recognize individuals early and often.
