This week, I dive deep into the story of empowerment coach, entrepreneur and author, Yatin Mistry. Join us as Yatin and I go into his story and discuss how he approaches empowering his LGBTQ clients of color.
In this episode, we cover:
Yatin’s journey to identifying as a first-generation British-Indian and as a gay man
The role of spirituality in coming to terms with sexuality
Realizing that you have a choice in how to respond to racism and homophobia
Mindset shifts and “brain muscle” practices to develop confidence and empowerment
Yatin’s “kindness, necessary and honest” rule of thumb for speaking with inclusion
Yatin Mistry is an empowerment coach, entrepreneur, and author, and for over ten years he’s been helping his clients overcome personal dilemmas and professional setbacks to seize the right opportunities that will help them excel.
