The Year I Wove Another Thread Into the Tapestry- Divya Parekh

What is a year, if not a tapestry? A weave of moments, some bright and golden, others dark as nightfall, their threads pulled taut by the weight of the days. And yet, it is the contrasts that make the pattern sing. I see this now, sitting here in December’s quiet twilight, the year stretched out behind me like a river winding into the distance.

Why Should You Write a Brand Building Book – Divya Parekh

Question: Why Should YOU Write A Brand-Building Book? There is nothing that can build your brand quite like a well-written book. I know that sounds all nice and sweet, but I wish I knew that back in the day! When I first started, I couldn’t seem to catch a break, no matter what I did, I kept getting knocked down over and over again and It seemed like every sales call would fall flat, I hardly had any conversions. Prospects would come into meetings and I could not point out where I fell short and I tell you what....getting nos from people impacts self-esteem and I felt like crap! The problem? No credibility. Potential clients liked me and my work but were looking for a body of work I had done, I had experience, but I could not share it in a way that builds authority. Desp...

Divya Parekh on How to Write a Book to Build Authority Positioning

Build credibility in a market saturated with competitors with no purpose. How does a person go from being a monk to celebrity status in under two years? That’s right.

Divya Parekh On Success, Growth, and Why She Enjoys Helping People Succeed!

While it might sound trite in this day and age, my motivation for the work I do is to help people achieve their highest level of success. As I look back on my life, that has always been my main focus. It has guided me in the different phases of my professional life, culminating in what I do now in guiding others to get their unique message out to their audience. There are several components to working with professional men and women that I have incorporated and refined in my career, and as I look back on to where it all started, I am proud to say it began with my parents. I am blessed that I was brought up by loving parents in India who were liberal-minded as they raised my sister and I. India is a country of varied cultures that encompass different religions, traditions, and ways of lo...
