Her mother used to give her creative work like embroidery, reading, writing, and many more. She used to participate more and more in school activities. All these activities sharpened her mind.

Nirja shares that she came to know about her traits during her engineering days. She started her career as an HR professional. While working as an MBA she used to switch to better jobs affirmatively. Then she entered the field of teaching. Wherever she went, she did mentoring and coaching. She considered the new joiners as newly wedded brides who should be given time to adjust to the surroundings.

Talking about her role as a Life Coach, Nirja says that when she counsels others, the smile and satisfaction on their face motivates her to work more for the people.

During Covid, she worked as a mentor. Many people were the victim of depression which was leading to divorce, suicide, etc. Nirja reached out to those and helped them transform their lives positively.

Nirja is an author, too. She has written four books. Three books are based on management and the fourth book is ‘Abracadabra’ which is fiction. This book helps people transform their lives. She wrote this book during the Covid break.

Nirja’s role models are her parents and everyone who comes her way. She says she even takes inspiration from her maid. Even her own life is a great role model for her. After her marriage, her husband also motivated and supported her to achieve her dreams.

For youngsters, Nirja suggests don’t stop chasing dreams. Chase your dreams with belief and trust. Secondly, follow the wise suggestions of your elders, too.

For parents, Nirja advises bringing up their child in a very positive way. They must be motivated to participate in every activity. These activities will surely affect their career growth in a great way is what she thinks.

To one and all, Nirja suggests that during our tough times one should not lose temper. Think twice before you speak and don’t be aggressive. While managing such a situation, negative vibes quickly attack our minds but we should be patient, take positive vibes thoughtfully and choose the right track quickly.

Nirja’s special message to everyone is that you should always support your spouse. We should motivate each other’s dreams. She recommends all men should motivate their wives to go ahead for a good cause. When we support each other it leads to a happy family and that ultimately leads to a prosperous nation.
