Background

About Wendy Nash

I am a meditation coach who guides entrepreneurs and startup founders to respond to business demands thoughtfully rather than reacting habitually. Unlike other life coaches, I work with knowing the mind, not just the mindset. It’s not just overcoming your limiting beliefs! When I was young, I wasn’t happy. Although I didn’t know what I wanted in life, I followed my gut and my parents’ advice. I also copied what other people said made them happy. I read lots about psychology, people and leadership. I noticed that CEOs and managers saw themselves as good bosses even though their teams were bitching and uncooperative. Across the globe in different countries, I learnt different languages, cultures and ways to be in the world. By my thirties, I thought I had all the answers – until my marriage dissolved. Reality kicked in. I was clueless. With a person who really got me, I reviewed how I related to others and what became obvious is how little I understood my inner landscape. This lack of awareness was ricocheting outwards just like I saw with my bosses. I was a ‘good communicator’ (i.e. good at talking) but not good at listening. Once I learnt how to • meditate to hear thoughts,• understand my inner landscape• I could really listen to others • to make better work and life decisions and teach others to do the same. I created a process called Meditation Coaching where I guide people to set up and maintain a regular meditation practice that fits with their lifestyle and improves understanding themselves in order to understand others better. If you think loving-kindness meditation is only for the soft and weak, bring to mind someone who rejected your funding proposal and wish them kindness and care – it’s tough! This meditation process helps gain awareness with what you’re good at and where the gaps are so you grow a sound business. My clients have achieved financially strong businesses despite cofounder conflict, funding rejections, staff underperformance, almost burning out, investor negotiations, constant fear of failure and pivoting new directions in work and life. In other words, I focus on turning negatives into supercharged positives.
