KNOW ME A BIT MORE😊

 

Across my career, I’ve held dynamic roles in regulation, monetary analysis, and credit rating analysis. I’ve navigated high‑stakes environments where confidence can break, rebuild, and rise again — and those experiences have shaped the philosophy I now teach.

 

I am a Certified Happiness Coach from Happitude – Berkeley Institute of Wellbeing, California. And on a lighter note, I love Bollywood Zumba; movement brings me joy and reminds me to stay connected to my roots.

 

I was born and raised in India and moved to London in 2015. That fusion — cultural, professional, personal — is my superpower. It allows me to help people meet their possibility through my own journey of transforming setbacks into my greatest comebacks.

 

I’m also a mother to a five‑year‑old who teaches me more about courage, curiosity, and resilience than any leadership book ever has.

 

Over the years, I’ve excavated and applied tools to rise in my career, awaken to my worth, and lead with authenticity. Now, it’s time to release that wisdom and amplify impact through The Neelu Way.

 

I’ve spoken at over 20 live and virtual events, inspiring audiences with my energy, honesty, and transformational storytelling. I’ve coached many individuals to reconnect with their inner voice and reclaim their confidence. I’ve also designed, directed, and hosted more than 15 Belonging events — creating safe spaces for people to share difficult feelings and be seen.

 

I’m known as an energetic, dynamic, and deeply human speaker who helps people wake up to their potential. My USP is simple: I speak from the heart to transform, not just inform. 

 

 I help you unlock your self belief and inner superstar🚀

👉My story of setbacks to comebacks 

 

I grew up with  poor self esteem and confidence being shy, not feeling beautiful , being very mediocre with no unique talents and even a dream - very often feeling invisible. Neither did I bet on myself nor I saw anyone else doing so.

 

However a lot changed for me when I changed subjects in higher secondary school giving me the environment I needed to thrive. I suddenly went from average to brilliant consistently securing the first rank and being a Gold medallist university topper in my graduation. 

 

Despite being academically brilliant, I significantly lacked interpersonal skills and the social skills to engage confidently.  This aspect failed to support my rounded projection of being credible - the lack of 'showmanship' costed me a lot of opportunities many times. Sometimes I de-sponsored myself and sometimes, I gifted others the opportunity to do so.

 

My confidence made several disappearances - when I moved to London from India, not knowing what future held for me ; when I went through post natal depression after my first child born during covid lockdown; when I went through a string of rejections while applying for jobs and interviews.

 

Also, my self belief played hide and seek, while sometimes rejections made me feel -  I am not good enough, sometimes getting opportunities made me feel - I might not be able to pull it off. 

 

I also have gone through moments of ditching confidence just before a presentation or just before an important meeting feeling blank  or experiencing a choked throat trying desperately hard to get the words out. 

 

The turning point was that in this process , I started following transformational coaches, leadership coaches and motivational speakers (about four years now..) which helped me tremendously to shape shift my self worth, sense of judgement, my internal compass and more.

 

Applying the wisdom, I fell less, hurt less and bounced back more easily and stronger but most importantly, I became someone who started to like myself rather than seeking or relying on external validation. 

 

Having said all this, my confidence still gets naughty in high stake situations, but my ability to navigate it is significantly better by working on my mindset.
