In this empowering episode of Career Coaching Secrets, host Kevin welcomes Dr. Deepak Bhootra, a seasoned corporate leader turned coach, Sandler®-certified sales trainer, and ICF-certified coach. Dr. Bhootra, founder and CEO of Jabulani Consulting, shares his transition from 30 years in the corporate world to a coaching practice focused on mental resilience, sales longevity, and fulfillment in work and life.

Dr. Bhootra explains the meaning behind Jabulani, a Zulu word meaning “rejoice,” and the name of the official ball used at the 2010 FIFA World Cup, as a metaphor for joy in professional growth and human-centered leadership.

You’ll also hear his breakdown of the “35 by 35” concept, a framework addressing sales burnout and strategies for sustaining energy, purpose, and peak performance throughout a career. The conversation weaves practical sales coaching insights with deep philosophy, including why he believes in “sending the elevator back down” to uplift others and build community success.

Whether you’re navigating burnout, leading teams, or scaling your influence, this episode offers grounded strategies for joy, resilience, and impact. Stay tuned for actionable takeaways you can apply in your own coaching, leadership, or sales journey.
