In search of contentment my journey has taken me to different paths & made me explore areas I always thought were not my cup of tea.

As a child, I was always an introvert with a very low level of confidence. Moreover, I was not good at studies or any sport. Yes, I was creative and definitely not dumb, it was just that I somehow knew that formal education was not going to help me achieve my dreams and thus it made me an average student. Trust me, it was not as easy as it sounds. Being a daydreamer and always waiting to grow up, I took life way too seriously.

My first door towards exposure & adulthood opened during my school days when I got an opportunity to do modelling. During those fashion show days I was able to work upon my under confident personality.

It was just the matter of few shows when I learnt that my actual interest lies behind the stage. I loved coordination, organisation & management. As I had no guidance or support for this field it took me 2 years to convince my mom that I am choosing the right field of my interest. National Institute of Event Management (NIEM), Pune gave me the true platform to enter into event management field. Pune, changed a lot in me, both personally and professionally. I was not only confident but I got a new personality all together. I learnt so much about my strengths and weaknesses, & got to improve myself every single day.

Starting from the point of picking up the wastes from the venue field to managing the team of 100s. I learnt everything required to execute a perfect event.

Some of the events I actively participated as an organiser were-

After my internship and volunteering period, I made up my mind that I will only do freelancing. So little did I know that so early in my career I was looking for the freedom of work where I did not even have enough experience to afford that freedom. When I got the opportunity to work as a Marketing Executive in Seasons Mall Pune, I was reluctant about it. I took up the job thinking that I would leave anytime if I had to get out of my comfort zone. Imagine what happened, I never realised how around one and half to two years passed by. I learnt a new angle of events there. It was so much about brand promotions, collaborations, communication, footfall, eyeballs, activations, activations and many many many events. I had a lifetime of experience that I could not even learn in any of the top B School. I learnt the true meaning of leadership & work ethics.

Later, I worked with several organisations & institutions on permanent & project bases. Some of them were like Kingdom of Dreams, Confederation of Indian Industry, University of Petroleum & Energy Studies, JB Institute of Technology, Graphic Era University, Times Square Mall, Uprist Service Portal Private Limited and many more.

It was post 2016 when I also registered my proprietorship firm Leading Edge India which was majorly focusing upon Event, Sales & Marketing consulting & management.

3 things that I was actively involved into simultaneously were:

The phase for me was dynamic as I was doing a lot of things together and learning so much about every field, be it Entrepreneurship, Hospitality, Medical, Education, Retail or Entertainment.

Meanwhile in September 2017, I along with my 3 cousins came up with an idea of making a record of covering
15 treks in 20 consecutive days. It has been accounted in India Book of Records 2018.

Things went on taking a different turn all together when I made another life changing decision of coming to Goa as a Team Member of Mr Rahul Bhatnagar. As a team we generated the revenue of more than 4 crores in just 2 years and did 2 very successful events Enrichment Begins within 2019, Goa and Sales and Leadership Masterclass, Delhi.

Areas of excellence by this time I have are as follows -

In 2021, I launched my own programme, Skill Up by Aditi Sharma, which helps the individuals find the right opportunity for themselves, get interview ready and get a good hike in their salary.

After completing 12+ years of my journey, I have learnt a very important thing about myself and that is that I am a Visionary and my vision is to empower more and more people and help them achieve their goals.

The journey is long and determination is strong.
