Hello, I am Ramya Arora :)

I am a Chartered Accountant, a corporate runaway, a certified coach, and a huge career fulfilment advocate.

Who am I?

I am a career changer.

I qualified as a Chartered Accountant in May 2015 and secured my first job as an International Tax Consultant with a Boutique tax firm in August 2015.

While this was a dream come true, something didn’t feel right from the very first day.

But I couldn’t point towards what was making me feel this way.

Since then, I worked for three companies, tried two different job profiles, and even took a career break once.

However, nothing made me feel good. It was like I was stuck in a loop and had no idea how to get out of it.

Before I knew it, seven years had passed, nothing had changed, and I still felt stuck.

I was a manager now, had a great paycheck, was working with a leader who believed in my capabilities and had a clear, promising career path with a Big 4.

These may all sound like great things, but these were the very things holding me back.

Despite being grateful for the above career and all the growth opportunities it put in my life, I constantly felt miserable.

I kept asking myself - “How am I not happy in something I have worked so hard to be successful at, and how did I even end up here?”

So, upon reaching what I would now call the saturation point, I understood that I could not go on like this forever.

And that’s when I decided to quit despite not knowing what to do next. All I knew was, “This is not what I want to do”.

I spent what felt like an eternity being confused, endlessly googling, “How can I find my passion?” and praying for a moment of epiphany.

But what truly helped me was going on my journey of self-discovery.

All of a sudden, my entire life made complete sense to me.

Throughout, I just wished someone could help me make sense of my situation. I didn’t want anyone to give me solutions; I just wanted help finding my own solutions.

And there it was; I finally heard that inner voice screaming to let me know what I would love to do next in life.

I am now that person for other women I wish I had in my corner because I don’t want you to struggle with the dilemma as I did for what felt like forever.

All I wanted was to wake up in the morning and look forward to work. I do now :)

Because I now have a career I enjoy and love deeply because I am doing something that matters to me.

I’m here to help you find career happiness

I’ve had a direct encounter with all the fear and uncertainty that comes with stepping away from a career that may have looked like giving up on a sure thing.

Only to walk into the unknown and explore what I now call the career of my soul, and I’d love to help you find yours, too.

If I could change one thing about my journey, it would be having to do this all by myself.

So, I trained, researched, studied and gathered all wisdom from this roller coaster-like career ride of mine to create the “Be You Career Fulfilment Coaching Framework”.

I now use this very framework to help women like me navigate towards careers that feel fulfilling and authentic to them.

Call it my purpose, passion, calling, personal mission or whatever you like, but I am deeply committed to helping people find career happiness.

I love my work now: it’s meaningful, fun, challenging and helps me make a difference in many lives in my own tiny way.

Most importantly, my work is an expression of me and does not require me to trade in my happiness and health.

And I want to pass on this feeling to as many as I can.

There’s more to life than just work.

My most treasured beliefs

  • The key to a happy life is a balanced life

  • Do more of what makes you happy

  • Empathy is a superpower
