Soul Searching with Ani Babaian: How to See the Good

Practical Wisdom Stories: Soul Searching with Ani Babaian: How to See the Good

Our guest this week shares a vivid story of growing up in Iran during war and revolution and how this helps her to find the good in challenging times. She has cultivated optimism and an ability to reframe problems into opportunities that has helped her go from “the immigrant kid who qualified for free lunch” to a CEO thriving even during a pandemic.

Ani gave me a defining moment as a speaker coach, as she was my first client with a speech impediment. At minute 5:15 she shares a vulnerable story of overcoming a stutter and the achievement of presenting to 2400 people that will inspire you to not worry what people think about you. She taught me not to make assumptions and to coach people to their full potential. She says, “it’s just a feature” not a flaw.

Her practical wisdom, “I really believe everyone internally is good. We’re all meant for great things. I love my brothers and sisters of all colors, races, religions, and genders.” She shares how to cultivate hope (14:30) and inspires us to feel unity and human connection.
