BEE DEFINED'S
Dedicated Team
Get to know me and my team.
​
I’m Beena. A coach, business leader, writer, entrepreneur, teacher, and speaker dedicated to helping you bee empowered to create the career, business, and life you dream of.
Hello!
I was born and raised in the Midwest with a strong work ethic, a desire to lead, and a deep passion for service. In 2019, while working in a demanding corporate executive role, I launched this company after years of mentoring and developing others, work that has now impacted thousands of lives.
Through our life-changing coaching experiences, resume and branding programs, and award-winning services, I help people like you design a new path through meaningful intentional action and resiliency.
I wasn’t born knowing how to do any of this on my own. I didn’t arrive here because of elite degrees, powerful connections, or perfectly timed opportunities. I’ve hit rock bottom more than once. What carried me forward was persistence, reflection, and a willingness to learn through both progress and setbacks.
I grew up in a small town in Ohio, in a middle income Indian-American home in a community where no one looked like me. I was taught about hard work, the value of education, and to serve others at a young age. My leadership began to take shape in high school serving as President of our student government and I even was voted Most Involved as a senior superlative!
Following that was twenty years of progress then setbacks,
achievements then failures, doubts then clarity,
lessons learned, and of course the occasional broken heart!
Through hard work, intentional action, and a focus on growth I
taught myself something that defined my whole life.
“You have the ability to
carve out the life you want.”
​
​
Not because it’s easy, but because when you’re willing to engage
yourself, do the work, and stay open, transformation becomes
possible.
​
I don’t have everything figured out. What I do know is that the
strategies and tools we use are tried, tested, and grounded in real
experience. I also surround myself with an inspiring team and
mentors that I learn from each and every day!
My mission is to help you listen to the unsettling feeling inside of you that keeps nudging at you to get unstuck and give you the coaching, training, tools and support you need to get moving TODAY!
​
People always ask me, “Beena, how did you get started in all of this.” For the longest time, I’ve been a leadership and professional development nerd. Doing much of the work through day-to-day interactions, volunteering, and in water-cooler conversations. And then one-day it hit me, “Why don’t you just create something official for yourself, and REALLY start helping people.” It took off from there and I kept focused on running on a low budget and focused on providing outstanding results one client at a time. A motto we still stick with at Bee Defined.
But there was something missing, I spent my entire life building myself as a professional that there were cracks personally that were infringing on my professional success and overall well-being. I realized how interconnected these things are especially through the thousands of people I had the privilege of coaching which gave me value insights into how to create a real, transformational, holistic experience for the clients in our community. I also got me a great COACH which helped me create lasting change in my life.
To thrive in today’s world, you must merge your professional and personal life and bring your whole self to the table. That includes your unique set of gifts, your personality, your experience, contribution, perspective, humor, and most importantly, your heart. I believe that whether you run your own business or not, a creative, and entrepreneurial approach is critical to living in the modern world. This is a belief I am on a mission to transform within our higher education environments. To prepare the next generation of leaders in non traditional ways.
No matter what your dreams or obstacles, you have the power to change your life and, by doing so, you may even change more!
​
