C20-24 SMILE to move forward with Ruqya Khan

Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Ruqya Khan, on-air from June 9th

In the face of a challenge, what’s a strategy you can adapt so that you can move from feeling stuck to unstuck. My 5 step formula is my SMILE – it is my legacy and I’d like to run through it and share anecdotes of how in recent stages of life it helped me find my way forward.

Ruqya Khan is an internationally honoured change maker. Leading from chaos to clarity, she sees herself more as a S.M.I.L.E. Strategist than a motivational speaker or life coach. She is a wordsmith – she works with words; delivering stories in print and on stage.   

Ruqya is the Founder of SMILETASTIC Coaching, an enterprise that delivers mindset training content to help individuals and organisations build better relationships with themselves and others.

In 2016 she did a TEDx talk on “The Art of Possibility”. She has spoken and been felicitated for her contribution at the Women Economic Forum. She has delivered talks during the Happiness Carnival conducted in Dubai by the Prime Minister’s Office. She coached students and educationalists at the International Youth Leadership and Innovation Forum in Singapore.

She is a Master Practitioner of NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming), Hypnosis and Time Line Therapy®. She is also proficient at the neuroscience techniques of mBraining. She is working towards her PCC level certification with the International Coach Federation.

RK’s journey is fascinating not due to the many places and people with whom she has shared her message but because of the intention that drives her. As a life coach who has been working with words since almost 20 years now, she understands the importance of communication and what we say to ourselves. Her mission is to enable stress free relationships, effective communication skills and improved outlook on life.   

Using her S.M.I.L.E. strategy Ruqya catalyses shifts and breakthroughs. With clients and in groups she addresses subconscious limiting beliefs and disrupted pursuits of happiness. Her S.M.I.L.E. strategy is both an art and science best mastered through techniques and practice. It breaks down the tedious process of getting from stuck to unstuck (in any area of life – health, academics, in relationships and even at work) into 5 simple but effective steps. She has presented mindset training workshops in UK, Singapore, Egypt, Kuwait, UAE and India. 

Passion to express, trust in self and gratitude are her strengths. She is driven by the awareness that though her life is simple, her achievements are always growing. Each day she is an example to her children and the many who see her as she is. 

Inner dialogue and pattern clearing are essential so that we can step into our greatness. A mindset of growth governs not just the roles we play at work but also in life at large. Connect with RK to know more – her legacy is her S.M.I.L.E.

Deb demonstrates a commitment to overcoming, healing, and helping others do the same as a tireless advocate and coming out the other side of addiction, trauma, and much more as a Survivor and Warrior. Her story she shares within a whole chapter is shocking, heartbreaking and one of perseverance. At the tender age of 13 when she took her first alcoholic drink, moving into drug addiction to opioids and other pain killers, to crime, arrested, and found her way into rehab, she began her recovery journey and tireless advocacy. How does a woman overcome? That is what you will read in this first published works of Ms. Morgan. 

Today Ms. Morgan is an advocate fighting for other addicts, alcoholics since maintaining two years into sobriety and being clean. She also advocates and has Fibro challenges. A mother of two grown children, when not advocating or writing, Deb enjoys reading, painting, travel, and spending time with her many grandchildren she adores. Deb will release her first full-length book this late spring. She is married and resides outside Eugene, Oregon.….

In Celebrity Radio Host K.C. Armstrong’s new book, Simply Amazing Women: ‘Become Inspired by Deb Morgan’ and twelve other women who share their stories of overcoming life’s intense challenges and how each woman is using their overcoming wisdom to help others find purpose, healing, and transformation.  
Diane Donovan, a Senior Reviewer at Midwest Book Review, states, “If ever there was a good time to publish an inspirational collection of stories, it’s now.” Simply Amazing Women is about choosing the kinds of responses during adversity that translate to survival and courage. While these mini-biographies were compiled before COVID-19, they highlight the ongoing need for inspiration now as never before and are intended, like those in its predecessor, Simply Amazing Special Author’s Edition, to provide the encouragement to not just go on with life, but make it the best possible.
The examples posed by these women all demonstrate paths to rising above adversity. Readers receive a survey filled with intense battles involving self-healing, transformation, and the kind of self-improvement that leads to helping others both through example and by outward-oriented effort. 
Mr. Armstrongs’ many interviews chose these empowering women he has done to pick those writers and stories, and their paths taken were more than just about rising above adversity. These remarkable women’s lives unfolded through interviews designed to pinpoint the origins of their strengths and perspectives; readers are treated to a moving, inspirational account offering various strategies for overcoming adversity. As a new world replete with fear, death, and division emerges, there is no better time for reading and considering this book’s underlying message about not just survival, but building and rebuilding a better life from the ashes of disaster. Very highly recommended as a torchlight guiding the way to transformation.
Barbara Bamberger Scott of U.S. Review of Books has applauded K.C. Armstrong for shining an encouraging bright spotlight on the women’s unique experiences. He appropriately prefaces each woman’s account of barriers and successes and, when needed, deftly prompts, offering pertinent facts and gently phrased questions. It’s an effective technique, creating a comfort zone of understanding. Interviewees are respected as they recount defining moments and share accumulated wisdom. This is the second book in the Simply Amazing series, with interviews taking place in Armstrong’s internet and F.M. outlet WMAP (World’s Most Amazing People). 
His introduction references the current COVID-19 pandemic, remarking that all the stories in this aggregation involve “a personal pandemic that one has to get through somehow.” International in scope, this volume will doubtless be inspirational for women of any age and provide a lively focus for women’s groups and forums across the globe.
“Simply Amazing Women” goes on sale, Friday, May 1, 2020. The new book will undoubtedly help encourage all who read it and help us to begin moving forward after this Coronavirus has ended. It can also help us start moving forward in living life again!

C20-22 The Power of Connection 365 with The Fry’s

Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guests Donna and Stephen Fry, on-air from May 26th

What we have learnt so far on our journey of meeting someone new every day for 366 days. The Why are we doing it and whom does it serve along the way? This is our topic of conversation today on the importance of connecting with kindness.

https://soundcloud.com/plv-radio/c20-23-the-power-of-connection-365-with-the-frys

Stephan is a Recovering Socially Awkward Engineer

Stephen and Donna went to School together in country South Australia in the late ‘70s/early 80s, but never spoke a word to each other at School. After School, they each went their own way, Stephen moving to Adelaide for University and Donna starting a career in Administration. They both got married in their early 20s, had four children each and carried on with their lives.

In 2012, they started conversing via Facebook Messenger and discovered that they had a similar story of a failed marriage. Through conversation, they found that they had the same mindset and thinking about a lot of things. They decided to meet and became good friends. Then in 2015, they got married. At the time of getting married, Stephen and Donna realized that what they were doing in their lives was not going to get them to where they wanted to go, so a change was necessary. They sought quality mentorship and were introduced to a couple who were successful in all areas of life. In fact, they were living the kind of lifestyle that Stephen and Donna knew they wanted. They drove 9 hours to meet this couple and after many conversations, they agreed to take Stephen and Donna under their wings and coach and mentor them. This started the desire to change which has led to the 366 day journey of meeting someone new every day

C20-21 Jay Abbasi on “Mindfulness is Not Just For Yogis”.


Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Jay Abbasi, on air from May 19th

The “tagline” I use often is “Mindfulness is Not Just For Yogis”, and what I mean by that is the practice of mindfulness can be applied to our everyday lives, including how we operate at the workplace.

A simple straightforward way to explain what I do:

I support individuals and organizations struggling with burnout and workplace stress through mindfulness training, which develops resilience and the ability to persevere through a fact-paced and ever-changing work environment ??.

In 2014, my father passed away suddenly from a heart attack. It was devastating. I also had a large amount of credit card debt, my job paid me decently but I didn’t love what I did, and my marriage was falling apart. I started reading everything I could about how to deal with the grief, get out of this rut and turn my life around. What I learned to develop was a skill that changed my life completely.

The skill is self-observation. I learned to look OBJECTIVELY at how I operate. How I think. How I feel. How I behave. I learned to understand WHY I do the things I do, and how to change my behavior. By developing this skill, I learned how to be resilient, perform better, lead better, and work better with others.

The practice I learned to develop self-observation is MINDFULNESS. It has been the one practice that turned my life around. I joined Tesla and in under 4 years worked my way up to running Sales Training at a national level. I started a business. I’m in a happy and healthy relationship. I’m in the best shape of my life.

For years, I’ve developed training programs for billion-dollar companies such as Tesla and SolarCity. One thing I learned is that adults need a bit more than just DRY CONTENT to learn something new. So, I developed an approach to training that combines Education and Entertainment to ensure a world-class learning experience! Adults retain information better when we’re having FUN in the process. My training programs are designed to engage learners in a way that you won’t typically find in online courses.

My goal is to provide an experience! One that provides individuals with the practical application of new ideas that will support growth in the workplace.

I could have chosen to leverage my training skills to develop online courses for many different topics, but I chose mindfulness because I have EXPERIENCED the benefits, and it is my true passion!

My mission is to bring mindfulness to the workplace to support individuals or companies struggling with stress, burnout, uncertainty, or a lack of motivation. I feel as though this is my purpose!
