Fast Talk with Vickey Wachtel

Fast Talk with Vickey Wachtel and Courtney Barker guest

Meera Shah was born and raised in Kenya. Some years after completing my undergraduate degree and working for a multinational in Kenya, I felt the urge to come and experience the adventures, fast pace and vibe in the great city of London. I spent several years in the high profile banking sector, working for a large range of global firms ranging from investment banks such as Goldman Sachs to HSBC. I also spent several years training to become a qualified accountant and then enhanced this further with an MBA from a leading European Business School.

The decision to become a Career Coach for me has been a natural and exciting next step. I have always been passionate about working with people and from a young age I have always been interested in Personal Development. Working in finance has taught me a broad range of business and analytic skills, not to mention being professional, dynamic and fast paced. However, the bit I missed was the ability to completely be my-self at work and to engage with people on a deeper level. I also noticed this spark, spirit and personality wanting voice in a lot of my work colleagues.

I therefore managed to combine my passion for personal development along with my professional experience to become a Career Coach. In addition to being certified by the International Coaching Federation, my personal development journey has led me to various weird and wonderful experiences.
