Leading Yourself To Empowerment
Are you someone who knows what you want your life to be and yet you don't know how to get there? Are you sick of getting in your own way? Are you fed up and absolutely done with your BS* and willing to do whatever it takes to transform your life?
(*Belief System)
It is time to invest in YOURSELF and create the life you deserve. Get ready to be comfortable with being uncomfortable. Let Shirin guide and empower you on a transformative journey from Awareness to Authority

You made a great intro by creating an interaction with your audience by asking who like or watch Bollywood movie. This automatically created the feeling; be prepared to hear some drama and as in many movies you will hear a happy ending. In your case, it was an astonishing ending. You projected the image of the movie and for those who may not be familiar with the movie, you provided a small description of the movie to ensure that everybody in the room was on the same line and understood what was your journey. You validated your point that such issues exist in society and connected it with your lived experience. Awesome!

Odette Peek, Impactful Speaking Coach
The moment Shirin stepped out on stage I knew I was in for something l. Her story captivated the whole audience, drew us in emotionally and taught us something about her world, which so many of us will never experience. I really felt I was right there with her, every step of her journey - a universal message we all need to hear.
As a professional speaker who teaches others how to speak and share their Soul Story, I know the "it" factor when I hear it. Shirin is compelling, creative, funny, inspiring and just so damn good!

Manu Swish Goswami, CEO Surf
I love Shirin because of how honest she was in the delivery of her story. She captivated me as she described each moment. Shirin is one of the most humble individuals I know. She has a great ability and skill of being able to take ideas and break them down into very simple thoughts that everyone can relate to. She is a wonderful speaker because she's relatable. When Shirin gets up on stage, she has a wonderful presence.

What People Say
I am grateful for the kind words and praise from my clients and fellow professionals regarding their experiences with my coaching services.
Their reviews and feedback fill me with confidence and joy, affirming the positive impact I am making in peoples' lives.


The Problem is...
That throughout my journey, I realized that I was not the only one who had struggles.
Many individuals feel lost, disconnected, uncertain about their current situation, lacking clarity on their future aspirations. They often find themselves trapped in negative cycles, doubting their self-worth and struggling to form productive habits.
Without a clear path, or consistent support, they feel overwhelmed by obstacles and distanced from their true desires and values.
I find this so sad... because for the vast majority, NONE of this needs to be their REALITY.
The PROBLEM is that so many people, simply don't know HOW TO TRANSFORM their LIVES.
