Vijay was born into a prominent Jain family in Navasari, Gurarat (the state in which Mahatma Gandhi was born), India. At the tender age of 1 ½ years, he decided to emigrate to London, much to the dismay of his paternal grandfather who had showered him with so much love. However, he did go back to visit his grandparents and other relatives, during his school vacations. While studying Advanced Levels in Physics, Maths, and Chemistry he developed a passion for Table Tennis. Soon, he became the best table tennis player in his school and left undefeated. He went on to read Physics at The University Of Sussex and graduated with an Honors Degree.
His love affair with Neuro Linguistic Programming began in 1985 when he was working in a marketing company called Programmes Limited (how coincidental). He easily mastered the fundamentals of NLP and eagerly studied the book “Influencing With Integrity,” by Dr. Genie Laborde. After applying the fundamental principles of NLP, he quickly catapulted himself to one of the top performers in his company.
Thereafter, he achieved success in various organizations, but his passion for NLP led him to become a Certified Practitioner of NLP in 1995. From that moment, his passion for personal development grew even larger. However, in 1997 he welcomed an opportunity to come to the United States of America: one uncle had a Ramada Limited for sale and another had a Days Inn for sale. After spending six months in the motel industry, Vijay and his wife, Smita – the real passion in his life – came to the conclusion that the motel industry, although potentially very lucrative, was not their cup of tea.
Nevertheless, his search for the American dream led him to become a Certified Master Practitioner in the fields of NLP, Hypnotherapy, and TLT™ in 1999. The following year he became a certified trainer in NLP and continued to broaden his skills with various other certifications.
All the mind/body therapies were of immense value in preparing Vijay to successfully complete a marathon in 2005. Vijay had run for the American Stroke Association, in honor of his father, DineshChandra Hirachand Shah, who had successfully overcome a stroke in 1995.
Vijay has continued to update his learnings so that he can help as many people as possible. And in 2009, he received his Doctorate in Clinical Hypnotherapy from the American Pacific University – this one is for my wife, Smita – “I could not have done it without your support and inspiration!”
