This past week one of my very first clients—actually, my second paying coaching client ever—published her first book, Be Your Own Cheerleader.

I couldn’t be prouder.

When I met Neelu Kaur, she was in the midst of transitioning from a full-time employee to a full-time entrepreneur, looking for a way to combine her leadership training skills with her deep interest in and commitment to ayurveda practices and wellness.

Fast forward ten years and she’s a highly sought after speaker and presenter bringing her unique blend of knowledge, real world experience, and emotional intelligence to workplaces around the globe.

While her book is specifically designed for Asian and South Asian women who struggle to make a place and space for themselves in their own careers, Neelu’s advice resonates with broader audiences as well.

So many of us are raised to be unseen.

Whether we are trained to be the invisible hand making our families, our households, our loved one’s lives run smoothly and efficiently, or we are marginalized because of some inherent characteristic—our sexual orientation, our neuro-divergency, our introvertedness, etc.

Our needs are rarely, if ever, acknowledged, and we become used to putting ourselves in the corner and keeping out of the spotlight.

It’s no wonder that in our careers and in our businesses, we struggle with imposter syndrome, with lack of confidence, with perfectionism, and so much more, to the detriment of our success.

Maybe you recognize yourself in the above or maybe you recognize someone you know.

If so, here’s a great tip from Neelu on how to talk yourself up or create a ‘humble brag’ about how awesome you are.

This works because it removes that self-censorship from the equation and helps you see your accomplishments and qualifications from the outside in rather than the inside out.
​

Neelu includes a ton of these types of practical tools and real-world advice in Be Your Own Cheerleader.

She also shares her 10 Tips To Be Your Own Cheerleader on her website.

Check out her tips and pick up a copy of her book so you can wake up the cheering section that lives within you.

Until next week, give yourself a rah, rah, sis, bom, bah, because you are truly amazing!

PS - If you missed it, last week, I shared my word of the year and some advice about finding yours.

Your success is our strategy!
