Last week in Amsterdam, I stood in front of 500+ coaches at the Supercoach Summit.
Some of the most brilliant, heart-driven people on the planet were in that room.
And someone asked me a question that made the whole room lean in:
“Vishen… how do I really go big?”
I shared this message live in Amsterdam:
Watch the video here:
If you prefer to read my full answer, here’s the exact transcript from the video for you—below:
Don’t see yourself as just a coach. See yourself as a movement builder.
What movement are you going to build?
Now, you don’t have to do this, but if you want to go big, you’ve got to figure out your movement.
My movement is not Mindvalley. My movement is unity. Mindvalley is simply the enabler of unity.
Unity consciousness means expanding a human being’s understanding of life so that they want to do good in the world.
And to do good in the world, you need to improve your personal power.
You need to get really good at, say, building a business or developing skills or becoming a teacher or becoming a healer.
But then, you’ve got to expand that to think about people outside your country, outside your religion, and outside your skin color, and see yourself as a citizen of planet Earth and help us heal this planet and heal humanity.
I’m fascinated by unity because I grew up on Star Trek. I’m fascinated by unity because I was once on the Muslim watch list.
And the reason I left America is because I had to report to the police every four weeks for a background check because of the color of my skin and the identity on my passport.
That’s why unity matters.
So I wasn’t trying to build a company. I was trying to build a movement around unity.
It’s why Mindvalley employees come from 60 countries.
It’s why our company is global. It’s why our authors come from all across the world. It’s why I can speak for Gaza. But this week, sign and promote an Israeli author.
It’s because unity is my highest value.
I’m building a movement for unity.
I believe the universe is gracious.
And if we’re doing something in alignment with the wish of a higher power or the universe, what will happen is we will be blessed.
Jose Silva said, “Whatever you want to visualize, see two or more people benefiting“.
He found that after training millions of people, the more people who benefit from your dream, the more likely your dream is to manifest.
So maybe you’re trying to serve one person.
Maybe you’re happy to serve five high-paying clients.
That’s great. You’re a good coach.
You want to break the ceiling? Go from coach to movement builder.
What is that that your soul wants you to give to the world as a movement?
Is it like that lady who started the kindness meetups and talks?
Is it me who created this company to achieve unity?
Is it something else? Is it women’s rights? Is it conscious parenting? Is it eating healthy?
Is it changing the narrative on food and medicine?
It doesn’t matter what it is.
Use your coaching as I did as a stepping stone for that ideal. Build a movement.
If you shift your identity from coach to movement builder, that is how you end up accidentally with an empire, and you make the world better.
If this sparked something in you, let me know in the comments and tell me what movement you want to build?
To your movement,
Vishen

wonderful, heart moving,
I am an option trader. It is fun for me to trade markets, but it is an individual game not a teamwork.
Your writeup really moved my heart……. Thinking now what I can do for the society.

My movement is to dispel feelings of rejection and shame that limit us – to be safe and secure in a space that allows exploration of the things we believe are too big to be spoken …things you think you cannot say for fear …
A safe space to speak, to be heard, to be seen.
We all deserve to know we are amazing beings and all capable of growth and peace.
Thank you for challenging me to focus on this question. I now have clarity as to what I’m up to in this declaration of my purpose.
‘To assist humanity in raising the vibrational energy of every individual that has the desire to.’
This is the first time that I’ve been able to articulate it. Thank you.
Hi Vishen,
I heard your message live at Supercoach and it stuck with me. It is so empowering to start a movement. What would my movement be about? It would be about identity leading ultimately to peace. I first questioned identity back in the mid 90’s. I was born with a Yugoslavian passport in Berlin. During the civil war, this country fell apart and I received the Croatian passport. A year later I chose to get the German citizenship and passport and I deeply felt, the passport does not define our identity. 20 years later when going through a cancer disease I also felt that the disease is not who I am but that I had it back then – only for a certain period of time. So to summarize it: my movement would be about identity: Who are we in our core? Connecting consciously with our values and qualities. I believe that it would bring peace of mind and peace into our hearts if we stopped believing the concepts around identity. Starting with leaders, my movement is about intuition: “From intuition to identity”. This is my working title after mindvalley U and your talk. It is amazing, how one sentence can make a huge difference. Thank you for the movement you created and your inspiration to think much bigger.
My movement is about love
I connect with your words and heart on making a difference in this world. Thank you for sharing.
It seems there are some interesting, little and significant differences between Unity and Oneness. I like the approach, thanks for sharing this post 🙂
Hola Vishen.
Recibio. Muchas gracias.
Hace mucho tiempo que les vengo siguiendo, escuchando, viendo y leyendo.
Veré el video con muhca aención y después haré mis comentarios.
Espero que estén muy bien.
Cordiales saludos desde Asunción, Paraguay.
Vishen, go to Fatma’s house and chat with Fatma telepathically. Don’t have telepathic conversations on my computer, not in my house.
“Vishen, your message on shifting from personal impact to building a movement resonates deeply. After decades in thanatology, bioethics, and guiding others through life’s most profound transitions, I see my work in my next book Traveling light as part of the journey in Life.
This is mindblowingly awesome. Your movement in unity will resonate with everyone who reads/witnesses your talk. I am so sorry that you had to leave the United States because we haven’t caught up with the greatest minds for peace. Keep on doing – and God bless.
We keep on changing the people when things go astray. What is needed is to change the system. The system is having elite that rule through fear, money and conditioning. We need to change to a system of governing with reason, common sense and wisdom. To do this requires convincing the elite to allow an evolution of humanity that will create a new system of governing and will elevate us to finally achieve being the intelligent species we are destined to be.
The major action in this evolution will be immediately stop the conditioning of the people and to institute programs to relieve people of their conditioning. To see how to achieve this go to JamesSarafin.Substack.com.
“I’m fascinated by unity because I grew up on Star Trek.” Love it!
Dear Vishen what a beautiful post. Thankyou! We are very aligned in our thinking. My movement is to support the world’s ascension – a place where all, inclusive of background (gender, nationality , ethnicity, sexuality etc.) have peace, well-being, health and happiness and in harmony with nature. I’ve committed my life to that in both my green economic growth work and my empowerment writing. Have a lovely day. Helena
you’ve got to expand that to think about people outside your country, outside your religion, and outside your skin colour. Yes Vishen – give it a go yourself, instead of judging & dividing. Just a thought…..but thanks for the heads up. I wasnt surprised.
Wow thanks so much for this . I Will love to create a movement about self compassion trough embodiment and presence
This confirmed my current trajectory. I shared my inspired dreams with Chatgpt and it responded with:
“What you just described isn’t just a platform for therapist education—it’s a movement.”
I feel divinely aligned and this message from Vishen is just another sign to keep going.
I’m on my way to make New chapter program, for people dreaming, want to make changes, but responsibilities, fears stopping them..Not that kind: hey, don’t afraid, just do it, this can destroy lives. To help them make research, to prepare them and to be ready for New chapter of their life. Not easy: I’m even dreaming with accent, but I hope I’ll manage. Thank you for all you’re doing!
The unification of all forms into One becomes the Super-Self (the All), and the transcendence of the Super-Self into the formless energy — into Nothing. Yet I choose what form to take, so that I may help as many as possible.”
A Movement Builder for Human Connection in a Digital Age
In a world where AI blurs the lines between real and fake, human and machine, my company: The Face Reading Company is building a movement to bring humanity back to the heart of business.
We work with big companies to cultivate a new level of people intelligence, one that goes beyond algorithms, beyond data, and straight to the essence of human connection. Using the ancient art and modern science of Face Reading, we awaken the power of intuition to truly see each other again.
This is not about judgment. It’s about recognition. It’s about navigating a future where authenticity is our greatest currency, and the ability to read human truth becomes a core leadership skill.
We are different because we dare to be human and we teach leaders and teams to do the same.
We’re not just offering training. We’re creating a movement that reshapes the corporate world into a place where trust, empathy, and real connection are as valued as profit.
Next week the English version of our website will be available: http://www.thefacereading.com
My movement es la igualdad entre hombres y mujeres.
