How my journey began
Hi! I'm Mala. When I was very young, I had a dream- to fly. As I grew older, I realised it was connected with the idea to spread my wings. This dream resulted in and as one of the main drivers to start my company. MPower in 2013.
The idea was that through conversations and exercises, we can partner to empower ourselves, reach beyond our potential and Find the Star Within! I would like each person to empower themselves, in an individual, team, work or family capacity to unleash the ‘real’ leader and star in them. My experience with facilitation started in 2003, and I discovered the leader in me, which I had never believed in before. Through my experience with various peer organisations, (Yi, EO, YPO) at Chapter, Regional and International level, I found my passion and purpose- Create better opportunities and possibilities than what is available to us today, through a process of reflection, sharing and discovery.
I have this inherent quality that people want to share things with me that they have never shared, most of the times even thought of before. I offer a safe space for anybody who would like to talk, and I just listen, without even trying to do anything but listen. I am able to set aside the whole persona of “Mala” for this period. Establishing trust and intimacy with anyone I meet even for the first time is my gift to everyone out there. I truly can form an instant connection with everyone I converse with, and that connection is always without an expiry date. Love is my core value and driving force, and I offer that in abundance!
I have had a fair bit of experience in training EO & YPO forums, entrepreneurs, students, teams, and groups for over 10 years, and I have often been complimented that I am able to infuse just the right mix of professionalism and comfort in my facilitation. I can safely say that I bring the whole and real me for all my facilitations and that helps create a valuable connect with the participants.
