Utkarsh Narang

Melbourne, Australia

In a world where career pivots are increasingly common, few transformations are as compelling as that of Utkarsh Narang. Once a successful physiotherapist, Utkarsh now stands as a global learning consultant, executive coach, and content creator, helping individuals and teams around the world achieve their highest potential.

“I used to think that physiotherapy was my life’s calling,” Utkarsh shares in an interview on the *Inspired Podcast*. “But life has a way of changing paths, and it’s up to us to catch what life offers.”

Utkarsh’s journey is a testament to the power of embracing change and using fear as a driving force. His ability to listen deeply to his patients as a physiotherapist laid the foundation for his coaching career. “Listening is key, whether you’re helping someone recover from physical pain or guiding them through professional challenges,” he explains.

One of the most significant shifts in Utkarsh’s life came when he realized that fear, rather than courage, had been the force pushing him forward. This epiphany hit him during the preparation for a TEDx talk, where he was set to discuss his career transitions. “A close friend asked me if it was courage or fear that drove my decisions. It made me realize that fear had been my ally all along, helping me take bold steps,” he recalls.

This newfound perspective on fear empowered Utkarsh to make another daring move: leaving a stable job during the height of the pandemic to start his own coaching business. Despite the risks, he reframed his fears into possibilities. “Instead of thinking about what could go wrong, I asked myself, ‘What if I succeed?’” This mindset shift, he believes, is something everyone can benefit from.

As a coach, Utkarsh draws on his diverse experiences and his passion for understanding human behavior to build programs that resonate with teams across the globe. His work with organizations in India, Australia, and South Africa focuses on creating high-performing teams through a culture of growth mindset and humanized leadership.

At the core of Utkarsh’s approach are five values: Discipline, Excellence, Growth, Freedom, and Love. These values guide not only his professional interactions but also his personal life. “Finding your values is crucial,” he advises. “They should be the standard by which you live your life, guiding every decision and action.”

Utkarsh’s journey is a powerful reminder that success is not just about overcoming fear but about making fear work for you. As he continues to help others achieve their goals, he remains dedicated to his own growth and learning. “Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever,” he quotes Mahatma Gandhi, a mantra that perfectly encapsulates his approach to life.

For those inspired by Utkarsh’s story, he offers a free discovery call to help you start your own journey of growth and transformation. His journal, *Ignite Life*, is also available for those looking to delve deeper into their own values and goals.
