MY STORY

Hi there! I’m Dr. Seema Desai.  I’m a dentist-turned-professional keynote speaker.  I'm also an author, award-winning podcast host, certified professional coach,  wife, and mom based in Austin, Texas.

My passion and purpose is to help leaders and organizations discover their own "secret sauce"--a re-tooled success formula that fuels transformation, sustainability and impact. A formula that fuels the individual and collective, so that everyone thrives--including the bottom line.

I was raised by hard-working, well-intentioned Indian immigrant parents to think that “success” meant being a doctor, making good money, and being married with kids.

So I checked off all those boxes. I was “successful.”

On the inside, I felt unfulfilled and stuck. While my life looked Instagram perfect to the rest of the world, I felt like it belonged on the Pinterest fails website instead.

I had sold myself a version of success that wasn’t mine.

Once I started to get to the root of what was really going on, my own sense of inner peace started to deepen. I was a better mom, a better wife, a better doctor, a better everything. And I leveled up in previously unimaginable ways. Life started handing me opportunities that I never would have been able to conceive had I kept allowing myself to believe in my old version of what my life should look like.

It all started with me creating an understanding for how I saw the world, and how those perceptions were actually keeping me from creating true success that was unlimited and mine alone.
