Who I am?

The shore had a different surprise altogether ( my life diary) with a fresh new beginning, left the idea of becoming a priest but collected the lessons life taught, flipped through the pages of my diary found great meaning in the journey. Set out on a new mission TO LIVE THE LIFE I WISH TO LIVE… What an experience comrade? Spellbound am I! The moral of the story is I failed TO EXPLORE THE UNEXPLORED AVENUES OF LIFE. Life is a journey, the beauty of it lies in the experience of journeying through than reaching the end, my journey continues…experiencing the JOY of LIVING!

Taking you to a few pages of my diary to let you know how life prepared me TO BECOME THE PERSON I MEANT TO BE…

Got graduated with a Bachelors in English Literature. Had a passion to learn this language… most stages witnessed my rendition through drama, oratory and hosting… explored this avenue of reaching the people through powerful communication, as a young performer kept the jam-packed auditoriums frozen in awe and admiration. Life provided me lots of opportunities to lead and groomed me into a charismatically evolved leader. It has been a rich learning of leadership especially as a young leader leaving footprints where served… thought communication and leadership with innovative and creative strategies will bring in the new dawn of my life… But… As always life opened up a new avenue…

Was stressed up at a particular span of my life wanted to go for a retreat to get eased and healed of. Walked into the premises of a counselling institute to get healed of but walked out of it as a wounded healer with a Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy. Well, I never chose this field but 3 powerful life changing statements made me: ‘You are a natural healer’, ‘You have an X factor to understand people beyond limits’, ‘You will change the lives of many’. Here you go, at this point of my life I am a Counsellor cum Psychotherapist. Pursued an MS in Counselling and Psychotherapy just to upgrade myself and to gain better theoretical knowledge though I am a person who is convinced of experiential knowledge. Continued as a Counsellor cum Psychotherapist reaching out many youngsters as it is my stronghold, couples, parents, sick, dying, religious, students and leaders. Eventually turned to be a trainer, speaker, facilitator and teacher. Loved the profession as met new people with new experiences. There was a great contentment when I retired to bed each day. Thought would settle down as a counsellor cum psychotherapist helping and healing many needy… life had another twist of course to reach me to the destination I ought to reach….

Self, planned to drop the idea of becoming a priest for a greater good and a friend of mine dropped this idea of me becoming a Life Coach, which would have an international accreditation. Landed back home from Australia with this uncertain idea, researched, discerned and decided to begin a new journey in reaching out people. Became an International Coaching Federation Accredited Certified Life Coach, Certified Executive Coach, Certified Organisational Development Coach and Neuro-linguistic Practitioner. Updated with the corporate world tactics and nuances. During my practise session I remember an acquaintance of mine saying ‘Antony, you bring humanity to the table while strategizing the business outcome, which is going to be your thrust to be a successful coach’. Well, I wish to be a seeker than achiever, the more I learn the better I feel successful, it is all about learning for me to be successful… Here you go, at this point of life an International Coach and a proud member of Certified Coaches Alliance, Canada. It didn’t stop there, life had another surprise…

I received a job offer from Hong Kong to be a trainer for which I thought I would do an extra study and ended in a PG Diploma in TEFL with specialisation in teaching the Young Learners, Business English Teaching, Education Management, Learning Disabilities and Training the Trainers. Eventually I cleared the TESOL Canada Board Exam out of interest and now a member of TESOL Canada and TESOL accredited teacher.

Now you might understand who I am and why I am here… nothing but just TO EMPOWER YOU and TO HELP YOU TO EXPLORE THE UNEXPLORED AVENUES OF LIFE!

Currently pursuing a Global MBA from Liverpool Business School, UK and an MS in Innovative Education and Teaching from European International University, France.
