“Let go of your fear and begin the journey towards manifesting your passion and purpose. It may sound difficult at first but letting go of fear taste a lot better once you have felt the freedom courage has given you. Her journey, story and book are an inspiration she captures the honest journey that is being an entrepreneur.

The motivation that is within this book shines from the very beginning, the moment that Dee tells Sally, “Time is the most valuable currency of life. Once lost, it is gone forever. Lost time can translate into lost opportunities, missed connections, and lost destiny. Losing times means losing life because you have not lived the way you want to live.” I recommend it if you want to learn about money, building a team, managing time, and so much more!!.” – Andy J. Salgado 

“I first purchased it via the Kindle, but then I realized that I wanted to do the exercise in the book so I ordered a hardcopy. I love the way the book is written and I know doing the exercises will help me with my business. “ Luz Canino-Baker International Executive Coach and Leadership Trainer

“I loved our conversation today you are a blessing, inspiration, and gave me the goosebumps. You moved me so much that I want to run to church, praise God, and shout your name to the heavens.

The information Divya shared with our audience is so vital for life’s successes and can save a lot of pain and frustration. I would encourage anyone looking for the secret of life to connect with Divya. I promise, you will not regret it.“   Mark Weisenburger

“I had the opportunity to meet Divya and see her in action as she led leadership workshop series at Biogen. Her passion and commitment to creating more heartfelt leaders are much needed. Divya’s insights were invaluable and extremely eye-opening. I encourage anyone interested in serious career and leadership coaching to reach out to her.“  Leticia Brewington

“Traditionally, people write a book then they follow it up with the program or product they want to offer. I did it the opposite way. I created an assessment that measures Influence Potential, the Keller Influence Indicator® (KII®), and an entire certification program for coaches (41 CCEs with ICF) and for use in organizations. Over the last few years, people were telling me I needed to write the book. My usual response was, “I have no time.” Then I realized that that was my way of putting it off, perhaps because I thought it wouldn’t be good enough or people wouldn’t really care.

After talking with Divya, she helped me realize that I could have a greater reach with much less effort in getting my message out on a global stage. Divya helped me focus, brainstorm my topic, and create a structure that helped me complete my book in less than 90 days. Divya’s methods and unique way of knowing my audience and what they wanted was critical to keeping me on task with my content addressing the needs of my audience, i.e., what would make them read the book (BTW – this translates into sales). This book became a major platform in introducing influence to the world, the Keller Influence Indicator® (KII®) assessment, and our influence programs to potential clients who turned into paying clients.

After I read Divya’s book, The Entrepreneur’s Garden (which is a must read) and writing the foreword for it, I could see that she really did have a solid grasp on how to  help me get started on my book, but, more importantly, help me finish it. Anyone can start a book, but not everyone can finish it. Divya has a special talent that energized and inspired me to see what was possible and enjoy the writing process despite setbacks and challenges. Divya is a heart-centered person and comes from a place of authenticity and giving.

One thing I really admired about Divya’s working method was her straightforward honesty. When I got off track, forgot my audience, or didn’t position my message as well as I could have, she wasn’t afraid to step in and challenge me. Her process pushed me to make the good parts of my book great. Divya could easily see what I couldn’t. She made me a better writer.

Divya didn’t let the grass grow under my feet. She kept me moving always reaching for the best in my writing and the entire book process. Since I’ve known and worked with Divya I have a great book, a solid influence message in the world, and a beautiful friendship.“ Karen Keller, Ph.D. CEO/Founder at Keller Institute™

“I had the opportunity of seeing Divya speaking to different groups. Divya led the panel discussion for the ICF-Raleigh Area Chapter Conference “Creating Cultures of Conscious Conversations” when I was the Chapter President and Conference Chair. I also led leadership workshop with Divya and saw her speaking at the National Association of Female Executives Raleigh Chapter 2015 as well as Leadership Girl Summit 2017 about being an influential leader. Divya captivates the audience with her personal stories from her leadership experience in the corporate world while bringing tangible ways to move forward your leadership and business with humor and passion. There is no doubt that the energy and sense of caring with professionalism stayed with the audience. I recommend Divya to anyone considering hiring her as a keynote or session speaker or panel facilitator. If you are looking for someone who is engaging, inspiring and also bring a laugh you will enjoy your work with Divya.“ Noa Ronen, MBA PCC CPCC
