Rachna Jain
Name: Rachna Jain
Location: Beltsville, Maryland Career: Doctor of Psychology What she does: Coaches a wide range of people from all over the world (mainly via email and telephone) on various issues such as relationships, businesses and marketing ideas. She helps people to break free from limited thinking in order for them to enrich their lives and sustain them.
The journey: Although her family was hesitant about her occupation and wanted her to become a physician, she followed her dream as she felt her qualities were better suited to the job of a psychologist. So she set to work, she went to graduate school where she took a full-course in clinical psychology, which she found to be highly stressful in itself, let alone her school's expectation for her to follow an outside clinical placement and deal with at least two clients within the school's clinic. But nevertheless, she survived it all and came through on top - she is now a life coach.
Benefits: Rachna finds her job as life coach to be very rewarding. She has "always been interested in helping people." Apart from enjoying her course in clinical psychology, she seems more than pleased with where her course has taken her. She has learnt a lot about how people can overcome their 'self doubt and personal limitations' to help them create the lifestyle they have always dreamed of. She finds it gives her a exciting thrill to see the journey people go through when reaching for big dreams and then attaining them. She finds many of her clients to be driven, motivated and ambitious; this has provoked her to continue learning about herself and growing in order to be an effective coach.
Jainism and her career: She feels that part of being a Jain "is to be the best person you can be." She believes that life coaching helps her to be the best she can be and allows her to help others to reach this same state of high achievement. She advises all those interested in life coaching to work with a mentor, seek coach training and continue to become "more and more of your best self."
