In this week’s episode of the Resiliency Factor Podcast, I speak to my dear friend Divya Parekh. Divya Parekh has worked with thousands of entrepreneurs, coaches and consultants and leaders from a wide array of industries. She collaborates with leaders who are ready to play full out, experience the joy of impacting others and expand their reach, business and revenues. Together with these amazing leaders, she works to achieve success through coaching, authorship, consulting, speaking and strategic marketing.
Divya also loves holding Get Work Done Masterminds and speaking at leadership entrepreneurial and women's conferences. She is also passionate about oceanic sustainability, nature communing and mentoring young students and women to help them create opportunities for themselves and their communities.
Key Highlights from Our Episode
- Divya mentions how coming from a corporate background taught her so much. She reveals how she ended up developing so many skills after working in various sectors of the corporate world.
- She also tells listeners about an unfortunate incident that happened one day while she was out in the company of her family members, which turned out to be one of the greatest challenges of her life.
- Divya also talks about one of her life’s darkest chapters when she felt like she lost her momentum. It was in that moment in her life that so many friends and neighbors began outpouring love into her.
- She also advises listeners that it is important to seek out support whenever you need it. It is during her life’s lowest moment that she learned the value of seeking out help when she needed it most.
- Divya also shares another important lesson she learned: it is okay to open up to people and allow people to support you.

“And one of the things that I found was that I was very much open to learning and learning from my failures. Because stepping into entrepreneurship is not as rosy as everyone thinks, it’s about failing and moving forward.”
