Founder of Leaders By Design
What are you most passionate about and what drives you?
I have 3 organisations :
1. Leaders By Design
In 2020 when the world was isolated I developed over 100,000 leaders. As an expert on training Ancient leadership principles in a modern context, I inspire Leadership that ignites transformation. Too many Women continue to deny themselves to even dream of becoming successful. They postpone their success, happiness, and deep inner fulfilment because they fear developing their leadership skills.
Ancient Leadership Wisdom practices in a Modern context became my mission. The more I was opposed the more her energy found expression and I shared this critical value in all her teachings. It’s a proven contributor to building strong Self Leadership, with increased Discipline, Confidence, and Focus, enabling Women to create success in their chosen fields in life. And driving performance by aligning women and their purpose.
All my work is done via our Coaching & Mentoring, Speaking events, and Workshops.
2. The Women’s Mentoring Foundation Ltd – Charity
WHAT – The Women’s Mentoring Foundation (WMF) helps Women heal from hurt, distress, grief and trauma experienced in their life. We support Women in building their Self-leadership through increasing Confidence, focus, and better mental, emotional and social health.
HOW – We do this with the aid of our GriefShare, Hurting from Healing, Self-Development, and Leadership programs, Speaking engagements, Therapies and various events held throughout the year. Click here to book or find our more about our speaking engagements on offer.
WHY – To enrich, add value by supporting the healing process and provide access to resources to help improve and contribute to the prevention of suicide and mental breakdown.
VISION – A world where women of all backgrounds see, feel and experience the opportunity to be personally successful.
MISSION – To lead, support and help women take action to create a successful business and life for themselves.
We welcome women to their new beginning, the start of their transformation from hurting to healing (following any trauma), to the life they’ve dreamt of living but seemed impossible! Something which they can only do once the recovery process starts – and that can only happen at a deep inner level, having travelled the excruciating painful journey myself.
3. Pushpa Vaghela
Helping Women start up new and grow established businesses. Because Women deserve to be financially independent and live the lifestyle they desire. Every Woman deserves an opportunity to be successful, be happy and grow in their Self Leadership.
What have been your personal challenges and how have they defined you?
I witnessed, whilst going through my own personal painful challenges and in my times of vulnerability, that many women fell through the cracks in times of distress, because of weak systems, obstacles, limited knowledge in knowing who/where/how to contact confidential services. This caused even more distress to women and myself who already had limited coping mechanisms during their sensitive, abusive and defenceless conditions. I lost my inheritance not once, or twice, but three times, because I trusted my loved ones and had no boundaries, I believed that they would always be there for me. Homelessness, pained by the ultimate betrayal, living in my car, living on sheltered food, having nearly lost my life twice and blind faith in my higher purpose kept me going up and forward.
I have travelled 7 despairing dark times in my lifetime from the age of 10, where others would have stayed broken and at rock bottom. The more I was opposed, abused, ridiculed. Shamed, crushed, especially by those who were my closest and dearest the more my energy found expression, especially to serve as an inspiration to all those who wanted to attain success in their respective fields. Despite that and having all those I had ever known go against me, including my own, I still found the inner strength within me, which I did not understand at the time. To get up, shake the dirt off and continue doing all that I could in the best way possible.
I felt that many times, even though I was living my calling, I wanted to avoid it because I knew what was coming!
My Life’s journey saw me wanting to take many different paths at different stages in life, but my creator had other plans. I tried my best, especially during the horrific, dark distressing and incomprehensible instances,
I decided so often to renounce it all and live a life for just me, for God and my children, because I wanted to, and I knew I could easily have lived a renounced life without any challenges, as I believe I had been blessed with a deep spiritual intuition and my parents were told the same.

Who are your role models and why?
Ancient wisdom, Principles from holy scriptures, and teachings that have been forgotten.
Why?
Even though I had an awakening at an early age and felt I was strongly detached enough to continue living in the secular world, where there were no boundaries to my unconditional love for all, I found it very thought-provoking. Since the age of 10, I was tired, confused and found it hard to understand the rejection, numerous deaths from a very young age, mum, dad, husband, child, and I found it hard to accept the cruelty of people’s behaviours, destruction and witnessing all those who had ever crossed my path turn their back on my children and myself in times of our greatest need, repeatedly and more so over the last 18 months.
Through this journey of life, I have had many distinctions with the blessings of great masters, specifically for my Leadership calling and with this wisdom and knowledge, I qualified seven distinct points from my own personal experiences, studies in ancient leadership qualities and from the diverse characteristics of Leaders.
When I spent time at the monasteries, it was for this specific reason, that if I were to spend life in the world outside of my safe zones of faith, where I was at peace and love, I had to overcome any wandering thoughts and get my mindfulness to be in sync and one with my heart soul, senses, chakras, energy, and spirit.
To help you better understand, even though I wanted to renounce everything and as often as I tried to move away, the message I kept getting was Leadership, in the material world with a difference and it was firmly conveyed, you can still practice your renunciation no matter where you teach from, including the secular world.
What does Work-Life Balance mean to you?
Contentment within at all times, unconditional love starting with the Self, strong selfless leadership and minimal expectations.
