A 4-week virtual masterclass on resilience and
leadership with Komal Minhas.
Summer registration currently closed.
You can be healthy, grounded, connected to yourself and achieve the big dreams you have for your life.
This is the program and community to help you do just that!
Connect with a community of your peers.
Learn from world-renowned experts.
Build a holistic blueprint for your life and dreams.
Before you scroll any further, I have a few questions for you.
What if you could achieve your biggest goals without second-guessing yourself or needing to look to others for permission?
What if you could land that big promotion, secure that dream client, run for office, or finally get your creative work out into the world while trusting yourself to not burn out in the process?
What if you could feel confident in your own abilities to tackle whatever challenges life throws your way, even when those challenges are insanely hard?
If that was possible, would you finally feel comfortable taking some of those big plans you have for yourself off the back burner and start making them a reality?
Now you might be thinking…
“Of course, that sounds great, but where do I even start?”
You might have even taken some baby steps to achieve some of these back burner goals already. Maybe you’ve…
- Started a 30-day challenge to start meditating or ‘get fit’... only to give up on day 3.
- Thought about scheduling a meeting with your manager to talk about a raise… but backed out before you could send the calendar invite.
- Spent months telling yourself that you’re going to start blogging or start a side hustle… but that Google Doc is still blank and that domain name is gathering virtual dust.
Or maybe you’ve got the work side of things figured out. You’ve landed that major promotion or turned that dream client into a real-deal client, but even though you’ve got some major wins under your belt, you still feel kind of empty inside or like the other parts of your life aren't where you want them to be?
Deep down, you know that you’re meant for greatness.
You have the skills and experience to excel in your career.
You have a laundry list of people that you want to build connections with and causes that you care deeply about.
You see other people speaking their minds, launching new projects, and making a difference in their communities.
So what’s holding you back?
First, I want you to take a second and remember this.
Right now, we are experiencing a collective trauma.
We’re simultaneously navigating a global pandemic, a movement for racial justice, and the worst financial crisis we’ve seen in our lifetime.
And even though we’re all going through this immensely stressful time, we can’t just tap out or put our regular lives on hold. We still need to figure out how to do the day-to-day stuff. We still need to make plans and build things, even though everything feels both terrifying and meaningless.
So, how do we do that?
We start with what we can control.
The daily habits and patterns and behaviours that make up our lives and give us the strength to keep going — even when things feel terrifying or even meaningless.
Hi, I'm Komal
I’m an interviewer, resilience educator, and impact investor.
I’ve also had to make a lot of pivots and overcome a lot of obstacles over the course of my career and life.
In the last four years I…
- premiered my documentary film at the Obama White House and was named to Oprah’s #SuperSoul100 and survived an unexpected cancer diagnosis at 26.
- created the business of my dreams educating others about their own resilience and potential on my weekly talk show after leaving my former start-up where I was gaslit by my cofounder.
- learned to prioritize my well being and needs and made my biggest dream come true by interviewing Michelle Obama on-stage in front of 8,000 people.
Through it all, one of the biggest lessons I’ve learned is this: without the right habits, supports, systems, and routines in place, we all struggle to thrive and build the careers and lives we dream of.
Another lesson?
You know what's best for you.
Another lesson? You know what’s best for you.
You know what you need better than anyone else. You just need some facilitators to help you uncover those answers within.
After spending so much of my twenties in recovery, I have learned what I need to do to be well and live a high-impact life from some of the best experts, teachers, and coaches in the world.
Now I’m ready to be that facilitator for you.
This program is for you if you’re…
Feeling stuck in your current job and not sure what your next move should be.
An artist or creative looking to build a more sustainable life and career.
An entrepreneur or business owner who’s tired of burning out.
Facing chronic illness and want to regain your sense of control.
Simply trying to figure out what the next right step is in life and work for you.
Proud and confident in where you are in life, and looking for ways to go from good to great!

Week 1:
What does it mean to be well and thrive? In this module, you’ll dive into two fundamental aspects of wellness: psychological and physical wellness.
You’ll learn how to:
- Face old coping mechanisms that no longer serve you and create a plan to implement daily, weekly, and monthly structures that work for you.
- Create long-lasting healthy habits so you can break-up with toxic hustle culture once and for all.
- Take consistent action and stay accountable to yourself so you can keep the momentum going, even when life gets hectic.
Week 2:
Want to make major moves in your career and land somewhere that nourishes you financially and is values aligned? In this module, you’ll discover how to show up as your best self at work, without sacrificing your wellbeing in the process.
You’ll learn how to:
- Quickly move past frustrating situations so you can go right into problem-solving mode and start building constructive solutions.
- Overcome limiting beliefs about work so you can finally get that raise, promotion, client, or any other audacious goal that you’ve set for yourself.
- Set better boundaries so you can work in a way that sustains you, rather than exhausts you.
Week 3:
How can you create a community that truly elevates your life and that upholds your values? In this module, you’ll explore the importance of intentionally building your own thriving community and receive actionable tips to help you get there.
You’ll learn how to:
- Cultivate a support system so you can feel comfortable asking for help when you need it.
- Be more comfortable expressing vulnerability, by learning to connect with people who truly ‘get you’.
- Strengthen your connections with the people already in your circle and use those tools to bring even more amazing humans into the fold. The more the merrier, right?
Week 4:
Ready to start moving in the right direction? In this module, you’ll work with me to create an actionable blueprint for your next few months and that will illustrate how you will effectively show up and tackle your life.
Self-efficacy is our belief in ourselves to be able to face, overcome, and work through hard things. In this session you will learn the systems I use to follow-through and execute as I work towards my biggest goals and dreams.
By this point, you’ll have learned and deepened your understanding of the five key pillars of leading a resilient life. Now you get to create a plan to put everything you’ve learned into action.
You’ll walk away with more refined life and work priorities, a digital scheduling system to enhance your organization and daily planning, and tangible next steps created BY YOU to keep you on track for the goals and dreams you imagine for your life.
Week 5:
How can you lead a more purpose-driven life that’s based in anti-oppression values? In this module, you’ll reflect on your lived experiences to uncover and root into ways that you can make a meaningful difference in your communities.
You’ll learn how to:
- Embrace your identity so you can feel confident speaking your mind and taking up space, even when you’re the ‘only one’ who looks like you.
- Uncover your ‘why’ so you can build a meaningful career and impact strategy that makes you feel invigorated and like you’re building a legacy you can be proud of.
- Define your passions, mission, and core talents so you can fill your cup with work, hobbies and passion projects that align with what you’re good at and what you love doing.

If you’ve been stuck in your head, struggling to take action for way too long…
Then this program is for you. But don’t just take my word for it. See what some of my past collaborators, interview subjects, and event attendees have to say.
as an interviewer
She’s the next Oprah!
- Hallie
You were SENSATIONAL! May I just say that you are on course to becoming one of the greatest interviewers of our time. You made Mrs. Obama open up in ways we’ve not seen before -- a testament to your enormous capacity to hold conversation. You are this generation’s Krista Tippett, and I am so glad I get to have a front row seat to witness your rise
- Eddie
This is your calling. You didn’t just ask questions, you listened, you provoked emotion and conversation. I was there in person [for the Michelle Obama interview] listening and it was natural and captivating.
- Laura
[T]he fact that I was able to witness two incredibly strong, powerful women of colour take up space so unapologetically was unreal!
- Namitha
Thank you for the self-coaching podcast [episode]! It’s been such a game changer for me. I literally sent that [episode] to everyone I know because I was so amazed. Your courage, authenticity, candor, & ability to use teachable life moments to help others evolve or at the very least commit to self-reflecting is incredible. That episode really resonated with me and I so often find myself there. The prompts you gave have been golden. And not that you need my validation but I (and SO many others) would pay $$$ for your webinars/conferences/virtual tour.
I’m so inspired! (The time is now! Ha, I loved this testimonial and am happy to finally offer a paid program! - Komal)
- Lucky
Each week’s podcast has seemed to align with all that I am experiencing in life right now. I find myself thinking that this is made exactly for me, but honestly, Komal’s podcast is made for everyone. Her ability to convert her thoughts and talk about the lessons she has learned is so powerful. I am able to transfer everything she has experienced and learned to what I am experiencing in my life and truly reflect on the changes I want to make in my life while celebrating all my successes. Thank you for doing this and sharing your stories and the stories of your guests with us.
- Jess
as a educator & Podcaster
This episode helped me heal in a way that I didn’t know I so desperately needed.
- Vidu
Just finished your “the power of ritual” episode and wanted to say thank you. Thank you for validating that I am worthy of a break, of a moment for myself, that I’m worthy of self care… I’m still learning to trust myself, like you said, to work as much as is necessary and to rest as is necessary. As a result of your words, I took a day to myself. To sit and write those rituals and commit to how I can turn up for myself, and not just everyone else, each day. A thousand times thank you.
- A
I listened to Komal speak with such clarity and passion about finding purpose and pursuing your dreams. Everything--everything-- she said resonated not just with me, but every woman [there]. She left the room speechless.
- Julie
Your podcast has been so brilliant -- I’m an activist and non-profit worker -- and the intersection of understanding your creative energy while also understanding your body has been so important to me to understand my burnout as a qpoc (queer person of colour). Thank you! Your light is brilliant!
- A
hank you for your Lessons Learned Podcast. It has supported me through this process. I keep thinking competence leads to confidence during a time where I am completely out of my comfort zone. I feel like I'm starting to get my confidence back. I feel like this experience has changed me for the better. You have no idea how much I needed to hear the messages you've shared when I felt so alone. I can definitely say that Lessons Learned is part of my own personal toolkit so thank you for your courage and support.
- Farrah
This is exactly what I needed today. I have never heard of self efficacy before but I now know that a lot of the way I have been feeling over the past 6 months is tied to not feeling that sense of confidence in my own ability to execute. But focusing on movement and meditation everyday for example (and inspired by you), is helping me to get that back.
- Ariel
