After training in Neuro Linguistic Programming and many other disciplines, Leila decided she could show people how to create their own personal brand to facilitate the kind of life they really want. To create freedom within your life a solid personal brand is invaluable. How do you want to be perceived? How do you achieve a positive mindset to prevent yourself holding you back? Leila deals with all these questions to move you towards your goals. Being different from your peers in a work group doesn’t have to be seen as a disadvantage, it can be seen as an opportunity to shine. A confident and skilled public speaker, Leila has spoken for TedX and many other forums.  Asking for a pay rise is a hurdle that Leila often coaches people for. Its about realising that speaking up is key and understanding that things are within your control if you take action. BEST MOMENTS‘A lot of my decisions in my life have been based on intuition and gut instinct. My decision to leave accountancy was a huge one, because I then took a 50% pay cut to go and become a recruitment consultant.’ – Leila‘I’ve always been into personal growth. I’ve always invested in reading books and looking at online courses.’ – Leila ‘Understanding and owning your values, your brand identity. How do you want people to see you, what do you want to be known for? Those are the things that, for me, reflect personal branding and brand identity.’ – Leila‘That relationship that you’ve built there, you can really have that ‘know, like and trust’ way with you that has enabled you to keep those relationships going and also find those people that really want to work with you and what you do now.’ – John‘That’s where my coaching comes in because for me it's all about not being the victim and blaming everything outside of you that you cannot control, but actually what can you control and what can you do?’ – Leila ‘I think everything you’ve said shows the significance of the relationships that you cultivate outside, but there’s also that massive significance of that relationship that you cultivate with yourself.’ - JohnGUEST RESOURCESContact - http://www.mi-brand.comhttps://uk.linkedin.com/in/leila-singhFreebie - https://leila-singh.aweb.page/playbook-aVALUABLE RESOURCESLink to my workshop -  https://www.johnkennycoaching.com/5- things-you-need-to-create-a-healthy-loving-relationship/To get in touch - email –[email protected] or book a complimentary call – https://calendly.com/johnkennycoaching/30minIf people want to order a copy of the book then they can just pay postage of £4.95 (RRP £8.99) - www.johnkennycoaching.com/podcast-book-offerWant to be able to address the relationship issues in your life? - Why not book in for a complimentary call and we can discuss how you can get the new started with some new types of relationships - https://calendly.com/johnkennycoaching/30minThe Relationship Guy Podcast - https://omny.fm/shows/the-relationship-guy        ABOUT THE HOSTI am John Kenny, The Relationship Guy - Coaching people to experience healthy loving relationships. Having spent a life choosing unhealthy relationships and self sabotaging my own success, I now coach people to live a life they choose.CONTACT METHODFacebook – https://www.facebook.com/johnkennycoachingLinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-kenny-coachingInsta – https://www.instagram.com/johnkennycoaching/Twitter – https://www.twitter.com/johnkennycoach}YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHTj9x6Tlo7lcIJITyx-tgQClubhouse - @relationshipguy Hosted on Acast.
