Nari Kaur on Life, Lessons & Legacy

We recently had the chance to connect with Nari Kaur and have shared our conversation below.

Nari, so good to connect and we’re excited to share your story and insights with our audience. There’s a ton to learn from your story, but let’s start with a warm up before we get into the heart of the interview. What makes you lose track of time—and find yourself again?
What makes me lose track of time is the work I do that connects deeply with my purpose—coaching, speaking, and empowering others. When I’m helping someone shift their mindset, break through a limiting belief, or step into their power, hours can pass without me noticing. It’s as if time pauses because I’m so present and invested in their transformation.

Ironically, it’s in those moments that I also find myself again. Seeing someone reclaim their confidence or discover their potential reminds me why I chose this path. It grounds me in my mission and reaffirms that the work I do isn’t just a career—it’s my calling. It’s both energising and centring, and it allows me to keep growing alongside the people I’m guiding.

Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
I’m Nari, an Empowerment, Wellness, and Leadership Coach, speaker, and founder of SkyHigh Coaching. My work is dedicated to helping individuals—particularly women—step into their full potential by challenging limitations, shifting mindsets, and cultivating authentic confidence. With a background in corporate leadership across the Aerospace, Marine Defence, and Rail industries, and over 15 years of coaching experience, I bring both strategic insight and deep emotional intelligence to my practice.

What makes my brand unique is that it merges professional development with personal transformation. At SkyHigh Coaching, we don’t just focus on goal setting or performance—we go deeper. We address the belief systems, inner narratives, and emotional blocks that keep people stuck. I specialize in working with individuals who identify as introverted, neurodivergent, or high-achieving but self-doubting—helping them unlock their unique strengths and lead with authenticity.

My coaching philosophy is simple but powerful: Personal growth is not a luxury—it’s a necessity. I believe everyone is capable of self-actualization when given the tools, support, and mindset to thrive. That’s why I created the Ladies Who Lead podcast, a platform dedicated to inspiring women to embrace leadership, own their voice, and live life on their own terms.

Currently, I’m expanding my work to include leadership development programs, corporate wellness initiatives, and community-building projects that foster emotional intelligence, resilience, and empowerment—both in the workplace and beyond.

At the heart of everything I do is a belief in the power of transformation—and my mission is to help as many people as possible rise into the highest version of themselves.

Thanks for sharing that. Would love to go back in time and hear about how your past might have impacted who you are today. Who taught you the most about work?
My father taught me the most about work. He was a driven and ambitious entrepreneur who successfully ran multiple businesses at the same time, and growing up around him gave me a front-row seat to what dedication, resilience, and vision truly look like.

He didn’t just teach me how to work hard—he taught me how to work with purpose. Watching him take risks, solve problems, and lead with confidence gave me a deep respect for discipline and consistency. But more than that, he showed me that success isn’t just about talent—it’s about showing up every day with commitment and integrity, even when things get tough.

His influence shaped the work ethic I carry with me today in everything I do—whether it was during my time in high-level corporate roles or now, running my own coaching business. I honour his legacy by applying those same values to help others reach their potential.

What did suffering teach you that success never could?
Suffering taught me something that success never could—that life is an experience to be lived, felt, and appreciated deeply. It taught me not to take anything or anyone for granted. Pain has a way of bringing clarity—it reveals what truly matters, strengthens your resilience, and humbles you in a way that success never does.

Through difficult experiences, I learned that I always have a choice: to grow or to shrink, to be defined by my circumstances or to rise above them. I chose growth. I chose to see the lesson, the opportunity, the silver lining—even when it wasn’t obvious. That mindset shift became my superpower.

Suffering taught me presence. It reminded me that nothing in life is permanent—not the highs, not the lows—and that every moment is a chance to create a memory, to find meaning, and to evolve. That’s why I live life intentionally and encourage my clients to do the same. Don’t just survive—live. Make life memorable.

I think our readers would appreciate hearing more about your values and what you think matters in life and career, etc. So our next question is along those lines. Is the public version of you the real you?
Yes and no. The public version of me is real in the sense that I’m outgoing, sociable, passionate about what I do, and I stand firmly by my values. What people see on stage or online is genuinely me. But there’s also another side to me that’s quieter and more introspective. I’m deeply introverted at heart, and I recharge by spending time in nature and immersing myself in natural landscapes.

I’m also a huge sports enthusiast—I love both watching and playing different sports—and at my core, I’m a bit of a tomboy. These layers of who I am might not always be visible publicly, but they’re just as authentic as the confident, outgoing coach and speaker people see. I believe both sides make me who I am and allow me to connect with people on a deeper level.

Thank you so much for all of your openness so far. Maybe we can close with a future oriented question. If you retired tomorrow, what would your customers miss most?
If I retired tomorrow, I believe my clients would miss the genuine connection I create with them. Beyond the coaching techniques and strategies, it’s the relationship—the trust, the warmth, the laughter, and the light-hearted fun—that makes the biggest impact.

Your personality is your most unique and bespoke feature, and I bring my whole self to every session. My smile, my energy, and the authentic connection I build help clients feel seen, heard, and motivated. That connection is what keeps them coming back, and what makes the coaching experience truly transformative.
