Meet Vinod

My name is Vinod Jain. I am passionate about working with people who want to achieve a life-long dream, goal, or a vision for themselves and need support.

As an accomplished technology and management consultant with over 30 years of experience, I have evolved to build a coaching practice and platform to serve people. Through it, I am focused on helping people to see and build their inner resilience, presence, and wholeness.

I grew up in a small village in India and came to the US in 1982 as a graduate student to complete a Ph.D. in Chemistry at the University of New Orleans, LA.

Over the years, I changed several careers and became a consultant helping US federal agencies manage their IT programs. During my long career, I too experienced first-hand the challenges inherent in today’s workplace environment. The challenges ranged from facing layoffs, organizational changes, and dealing with anxiety and pressures to move up the career ladder.

I faced a significant life event in late 2016 when I was diagnosed with kidney cancer. The diagnosis and the associated situation brought home to me the idea of my own mortality and the need for me to find my authentic purpose and voice. Around the same time, through serendipity, I discovered in me a deep desire to help professionals who suffer from anxiety and a general lack of confidence around career and other life issues.

That's when I started working with a coach and it changed my life. Coaching helped me to stop dwelling on my past and connect with my vision for my future. My strengths, values, and my purpose came into focus. My life’s authentic purpose and my voice became clear to me. Coaching also moved me to establish a daily morning mindfulness practice. This practice is rooted in deep gratitude and intention. This experience helped me realize that everything is not happening to me but for me. Afterwards, I enrolled into a Leadership Coaching and Organizational Well-Being Certification program. The rest is history!

I am passionate about helping people get in touch with their vision for their most extraordinary life. Afterwards, my clients work on charting a course towards living the vision every day. I will help you become more resilient and whole. With that, you will feel a high level of contentment in your life and you will have more to give to your business, family, community, and the world.

"Remember: The most important thing is not what's happening out there. What is primary is your state of consciousness at this moment. That determines what form the future will take. So the important thing is that what happens to you is much less important than how you respond to what happens. That determines the way forward in your life.”
