A Short Biography of Shiv Khera

chillibreeze writer — Arnav Anand

“Winners don’t do different things, they do things differently”

Who is not familiar with Shiv Khera’s ever-inspiring and motivating quote? Shiv Khera is an educator, business consultant, and a renowned and sought-after speaker. He endeavors to encourage and inform people, helping them realize their true potential and has taken his dynamic message around the world.

Shiv Khera comes from a family of businessmen that used to own coal mines in Dhanbad in Jharkhand. But due to the nationalization of coal mines, his grand father lost the business and Shiv left India to start life over. He landed in the USA and did various things from washing cars to selling life insurance. His struggling life took a winning direction when he attended a lecture by Norman Vincent Peale. The motivational teachings of Norman Vincent changed his life forever and he moved forward on his success path.

With 25 years of extensive research and understanding to his credit Shiv has helped people on the path of personal growth and achievement. Over 20,000 people have attended and benefited by his three-day dynamic workshops internationally and around one million people have heard him as a Keynote Speaker.

Shiv Khera instituted Qualified Learning Systems, an initiative to incorporate his years of experience as a motivator and to develop a core program known as the Blueprint for Success (BPS). This program motivates people to identify their true potential and achieve success both in their personal and professional spheres of life. He has developed several such programs that cater to different levels of professional hierarchy. His programs, besides India, are quite popular in Singapore and the USA.

He has authored several bestsellers that have an enthusiastic reader base not only in the country but worldwide. His international best seller, “You Can Win”, was his first book, which came out in 1998 and sold over a million copies worldwide in 8 languages. His second book “Living with Honor” hit the stands in August 2003, which again pleased million book lovers across the world. Then within a period of six months in February 2004, his third book “Freedom Is Not Free” was on the stands. Though this book plunged into the controversy of plagiarism, it too turned into a best seller.

His brilliance soon began to be acknowledged worldwide. He has been recognized as a “Louis Marchesi Fellow” by the Round Table Foundation, an honor he shares with famous humanitarians like Mother Teresa. Lions Club International has honored him with a "Lifetime Achievement Award" for the cause of ‘Humanitarian Service to the Society’. He is also a recipient of the Rotary Club’s "Centennial Vocational Award for Excellence."

Shiv Khera always strived to help India and its people as well. Inspired by his attachment to social causes, he fought parliamentary elections but unfortunately could not make it to the parliament. Then, he founded a trust called “Country First Foundation” in order to serve his country. The vision of this trust is “Respect and Dignity for every Indian" and the mission is “to ensure freedom through education and justice”.

Shiv Khera is trying to establish the pride of our country in international forums. His objective is to boost the morale of the common Indian and to eradicate social injustice through education. Every true Indian should come forward to join his Country First Movement and contribute to the nation’s development.
