I help you build your self worth and your net worth 🔥 | Link in featured section l 0 to 7 Figures in 24 Months | Dubbed "Top Negotiator" by Globe Asia I Keynote Speaker | Corporate Trainer

In 2022, there were 2,668 billionaires. 

ONLY 337 were women.

The worst part? 

ONLY 101 of these women were self-made. 

It is time we normalize women building wealth. 

Hi, I'm Meena 🦋

I transitioned from being a lawyer and senior corporate executive to becoming a high-performance coach, speaker, and corporate trainer.

In 2016, when I was at the peak of my corporate career, I experienced a financial loss that turned my world upside down. 

When I hit rock bottom, I knew I only had 2 choices - evolve or stay stuck. 

This led me on a journey of self discovery, and I started learning about how to tap into the unlimited potential of the human mind using evidence-based tools and principles based on neuroscience, epigenetics and quantum physics. 

Within 2 years, I went from 0 to 7 figures. 

Now I am on a mission to empower women to become widely successful at building wealth. 


👉 My clients have achieved remarkable feats under my guidance:

   ✅ Launched and scaled a seven-figure online business

   ✅ Went from debt to a six-month cash reserve in under a year

   ✅ Boosted their revenue by 500%

   ✅ Raised half a million dollars in a single year

   ✅ Left unfulfilling jobs to expand their businesses across 11 countries


👉 By integrating these evidence based tools and principles,, I help you:

   ✨ Rebuild self-worth and boost your net worth

   ✨ Gain clarity on your vision, strategy, and action plan

   ✨ Build a compelling and profitable personal brand

   ✨ Develop a profitable sales, brand, and marketing strategy

   ✨ Maximize revenue opportunities and minimize costs

   ✨ Become an effective leader and the “go-to” expert in your industry


💰 Are you a driven female entrepreneur ready to build wealth?

🎤 Is your company seeking a keynote speaker to inspire and empower women to become powerful leaders?
