Born and brought up in the hustle and bustle of Mumbai city in India, Shilpa chose to make the hushed city of Adelaide her home in an impulsive but passionate decision in 2014. Since then, she along with her husband, started their consulting business 'Want Solution? There's Always One'. Investing nearly $100k in their education and starting this business was yet another adventurous move, to quit the conventional and convenient corporate source of income and go all in into realising their dream lifestyle.
Together they have gone on to create a beautiful family and are blessed with a girl, Arya, in Feb 2016.
In 2017, they embarked on a family adventure, to live in a caravan and travel around Australia, while growing their baby and their business on the go. Turns out Arya has totally inherited her parents' adventurous genes and was a total sport on the caravan trip!
Shilpa is also the author of Amazon best-seller 'Want Solution? There's Always One!' and her second book is on its way to being launched in 2018, which is based on the family adventure they undertook in 2017. Through this book, Shilpa aims to spread a deeper awareness of the over-hyped and often misrepresented subject of the 'digital nomad' and what it really takes to be one, successfully.
On the business side of things, Shilpa plays the role of book-writing and marketing coach who works with coaches and consultants to help them accelerate their business through

Summary of work
Coach Kuwana is the Author of Amazon number 1 Best Seller, "Stop the Clock!" and multiple award winning coach for his contribution to human development and empowerment programs in various fields including business, personal development, women and youth empowerment in Zimbabwe.
He has over the past 10 years worked on capacity building programs specifically targeted at women in business. The capacity building initiatives have in recent years evolved to include women executives in order to add a voice to seeking redress on the nagging global challenge of gender disparity which has lead to slow economic prosperity world wide. Even though men & women are currently at or near parity in health and education, throughout much of the world, women continue to lag behind in economic participation and opportunities in even the most gender sensitive societies. Yet a compelling business case for the advancement and promotion of women has been advanced and acknowledged. It is with this background that Coach Kuwana has developed executive programs to empower the woman executive in a effort to unlock the economic value buried in women.
Coach Kuwana has conducted these programs in consecutive years since 2013 on different world commemorative days that celebrate women achievements such as The International Women's day, World secretaries' day etc.
He has spoken on world platforms promoting the Inclusion and Diversity agenda and is a practitioner of the 360' Global leadership Assessment by Marshall Goldsmith, which place great emphasis on developing global leadership competencies among leaders in organisations. In that program, a competency such "Appreciating Diversity" is a key component of an emerging category of leadership development known as Boundary-less Inclusion which among other things places a demand on global leaders to embrace diversity on a range of parameters including gender and as well as eliminating all forms of discrimination.
