Today’s guest on the Stand Out Be You podcast is in the profession of making a difference. Divya Parekh is a coach and consultant who is passionate about helping others define their genius and monetize their message. She also currently runs online writing challenges to help clients write books to build their authority and foster trust with their customers.
From the academic to the corporate world, and from entrepreneurship to coaching, Divya has seen it all—and her message on today’s podcast will help you learn to take your career and your professional goals one step further.
When you have a why that’s bigger than who you are, then the how just happens. You don’t have to worry about what’s going to happen, it keeps on pushing you through the obstacles. Whenever you’re ready to give up, your why pulls you out. It makes you get up and go.
No matter where you are in your career, from entry level to solopreneur to CEO, everyone is connected by a shared desire to be happy, to have freedom, and to have more time. At a fundamental level, all of our dreams are basically the same.
But to Divya, each person brings their own extraordinary essence that sets themselves, and their dreams, apart from others. And Divya strives to make an impact by helping people take that genius, everything that makes you extraordinarily you, and bring it forward.
That’s not always as easy as it sounds! As Divya explains, it often involves coaxing clients out of their comfort zones, and helping them lean into discomfort. Plus, once a client has finally defined their genius, it’s important to share that message with the world, getting it onto a marketing platform that works.
And what’s the tool Divya encourages clients to use when sharing their message? Books!
Most of us get anxious thinking about writing one, about committing our thoughts to paper—and that fear is often what holds us back from sharing ourselves and our message. But when you write a book, you find yourself sharing profound personal truths, and cultivating a meaningful relationship with your audience. Divya helps her clients use their books to learn how to build authority and trust—and you can learn to do the same!
It really is true: everyone’s got a book inside them!
If you’ve always wanted to write but didn’t know how to write a book—or even where to start—we’re here to help! Go to be sure to join the book challenge for help getting your story from your head, to paper, and finally understanding the benefits of writing your book!
Plus, don’t forget to join us in the Faces of Collaboration community on Facebook! Divya will be posting the same writing challenge we’ve discussed on the podcast, so follow along to get started sharing and monetizing your message today.
Divya wears a lot of hats, and she helps the community through everything from coaching to speaking to workshops. If you’d like to connect with her in any of these areas, or if you’d simply like to learn more about her story, check out her website.
