H! I'm Payal!

Learning the art of pivoting created CONFIDENCE within me so I no longer got skipped over at work. I went from $100 to $500 per hour when I decided to make a change.

I worked at multiple practices of varying sizes, but I never felt confident to ask for what I wanted. I told myself that if I just work hard, then it will be given to me. I didn’t realize that I was just telling myself a lie.

As a per diem Pediatrician I was paid $100/hr with no benefits and expected to see 4-5 patients.  When I asked for a raise, nothing. When I asked to be considered again for the open salaried position- nada. So I decided to shift and make my skills unique and irresistible. But first I had to believe that and own it. 

Growing up, I saw my parents work hard in hopes that they would be given what they deserved but it never matched up. The immigrant mentality keeps us working hard and staying small. We hope that if we assimilate then we won’t experience trouble. Unfortunately the opposite happens. When we don’t ask we don’t get anything. 

I found my inner confidence through the magical work of COACHING. I never thought it was for me and honestly, I didn’t believe that anything could change. But I was wrong. Just by allowing myself to have a small shift that something different was possible, was more than enough. The tools that I learned and continue to learn in the coaching space are priceless. I now love the work that I do and get compensated for it. I no longer get skipped over and underpaid. Instead I get considered for opportunities that I never knew about .
