Education
While the current stereotype of Asian-British is that they are smart, competent and hard-working, a century ago, Asian-British were perceived as illiterate, undesirable, full of “filth and disease” and unassimilable. This episode is a candid conversation with an AUTHENTICITY COACH Samraj who grew up in west London as a British Punjabi and talks about a number of experiences and roles we play in both societies as British and Punjabi. Listen out for: British Asians VS South Asian Cultures How movies, like Bend it like Beckham, were so relevant Does the Punjabi community love to compare? Confronting South Asians Stereotypes Samraj in his own words… I truly believe that at this moment, every single person is where they need to be. I work full time in the corporate space and recently in part time in the world of self-growth and personal development. The two combined gives me a rich and unique insight into the importance of emotional intelligence and authenticity. I am convinced that these things together are the perfect blend for happiness and effective living. It all starts with taking control of your life. Expectations of others, self-doubt and people-pleasing are some of the most common obstacles we face. I know this from lived experience. I have been on a journey for many years spending thousands of pounds on books and courses to understand what it meant to be me, what I really wanted and what I needed to do to live a life with no fundamental regrets. I was coaching myself during those years, something I later realised. My work as a life coach focuses on achieving happiness by tapping into the single thing that cannot be replicated, being ourselves. What makes me different? My personal journey to liberated living pushed me into the world of professional transformational coaching, where I could help others do the same. I have crafted a personalised program where my clients go through a more fast-tracked and focused experience connecting who they really are to everything they do.
