DIPAK PATEL’S STORY
A Journey of Transformation with Ken
Client Duration: 4+ Years
Before you started working with me, what was life like? What did you struggle with?
I was doing ok. I had a lot of unresolved ambition and ideas of who I wanted to be. I was at the start of building a business. I wanted to have someone to help me clarify and achieve my goals. Ultimately, my goals boil down to three things: enjoying life, achieving financial freedom, and constantly growing.
What was life like before you started working with me?
I was deeply depressed, fearful and quite frankly hopeless before I met Ken. I just walked away from a highly paid career which caused me immense stress that resulted in a flare of my chronic illness. It was under these circumstances I approached Ken.
What problems or challenges were you struggling with? (Both before and while working with me)
– Chronic health issues i.e. fatigue, lethargy,
– Financial stress
– Depression
– Anxiety
– Difficulty with family relationships
– Breakdown of my long term relationship
– I had no direction and did not know in which direction life was taking me
What is life like now since you’ve started working with me?
– I have discovered a new perspective of approaching challenges in life.
– My relationships with friends, work improved,
– My self-confidence and self-esteem improved
– I learnt new tools to use when I am challenged
What results or success (internal or external) have you had since working with me? How has coaching contributed to it?
I have become mature, financially, emotionally and physically. Been able to work through several life changing issues i.e. job loss / gain, health issues and relationship breakdown without self-sabotaging i.e. not turning to substances or other mood changes

Compassionate — not judgemental, not harsh or demanding
Patient — when I found a tool challenging to grasp , Ken would explain in different ways
Open minded – never criticised or pushed me into doing things I did not want to do

Flexible — Willing to accommodate me to suit my needs
Excellent communicator — never speaking over me and explaining things well, in depth and clearly
Not controlling — Not exploiting or pushing any agenda on me.
How have I been a catalyst for change in your life?
– Provided me with tools to overcome challenges i.e. growth mindset, not being afraid to be vulnerable
– Consistently showed up over a period of 2.5 years to listen to my challenges and offer guidance
– Offered different perspective to my health, work, relationship and nutrition vision.
What is the biggest impact I’ve had on you or your life?
– Re-emphasised that problems will always turn up in life so helped me to be resilient and focus on things I control
– To not take myself so seriously and roll with the punches
– To have fun and enjoy the process
What do you feel are the three benefits you’ve gotten from having me as your coach?
1. New tools to take on challenges.
2. Provided me with a new , fresh perspective on life.
3. Helped me to develop trust in others with your exemplary ways
What surprises you most or makes you happiest about working with me as a coach?

What was your main concern in hiring me as a coach, and what put your fears to rest?
None.

If you were to recommend me as a coach to your best friend, what would you say?
A fun-loving guy who has your best interests at heart will support you in developing in the direction you would like to go and will challenge you humbly and not be a yes man.
Final words you can give summarizing what you think of me (Ken) and your experience?
If everyone had a coach like Ken, the world would be a calmer, more resilient, compassionate, and more determined place. A kind-spirited, flexible and very hardworking individual who does not shy away from life’s challenges
