Vish’s Journey
Growing Up in Hong Kong, Career Transition from Engineering and Executive to Spirituality & Coaching
with Vish Chatterji

Welcome to another episode of the Journey Podcast!
The Journey Podcast is all about sharing the journeys of purpose-driven individuals from all walks of life who are following their passion and fulfilling their purpose in their own unique way and I’m your host, Risa Kawamoto.
In today’s episode, I’m having a conversation with Vish Chatterji, an accomplished executive-turned-coach with a spiritual twist, and author of The Business Casual Yogi: Take Charge of Your Body, Mind & Career.
After a successful career as an engineer, executive and entrepreneur, Vish is honoring his soul purpose as an East-meets-West Executive Coach. He coaches and advises business leaders, through a unique blend of Western management thinking and Eastern wisdom traditions.
He helps people find balanced success through the wisdom of Yoga, Meditation, Ayurveda (mind-body medicine) and Jyotish (karmic advising).
Vish holds a BS in Mechanical Engineering from Northwestern University, an MBA from the University of Michigan, and an Executive Coaching Certificate from UC Berkeley. Vish has studied in traditional Himalayan ashrams and at the Chopra Center in California and teaches globally.
He is a married father of three and loves to garden, bicycle, and tinker in the garage!
In our conversation, you’ll hear what his childhood was like living in Hong Kong and moving to America where he studied and developed his career, and built his unique business where he coaches and advises business leaders, through a unique blend of Western management thinking and Eastern wisdom traditions.
He has a lot of wisdom to share and I’m sure you’ll learn a lot from our conversations!

Fall in Love with Your Career Again!
If you are a passionate aspiring leader, who wants to be more confident and secure your next promotion or new role, but as an introvert you find yourself having to present yourself as someone you are not and are struggling to progress in your career in what is mostly a corporate world that seems to celebrate and value extroverts, I would love to invite you to my 1:1 coaching programme – Embody Your Authentic Self.
Embody Your Authentic Self is a 6-month journey where you will develop the confidence to showcase your talents and skills, speak up in meetings and ultimately feel more energised, motivated to progress in your career and love your job once again.
If this interests you, I’d love to invite you to schedule a discovery call with me. I look forward to connecting with you!
