Alternate names: Also known as Anil Deepchand Dagia
Bio: **Anil Dagia** is an Indian author, educator, and professional coach whose work focuses on Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), emotional intelligence, mindset transformation, and the professional development of coaches and independent practitioners. He is an ICF-credentialed Professional Certified Coach (PCC) and an NLP Master Trainer, with more than a decade of experience in training, coaching, and applied behavioral change work.

Dagia is known for integrating NLP methodologies with ICF-aligned coaching competencies, emotional intelligence models, and experiential learning approaches. His work emphasizes practical application over theory, with a strong focus on belief systems, emotional regulation, decision-making, communication, and sustainable personal and professional transformation.

As an author, his books cover topics including life coaching, emotional resilience, ethical and structured selling, business systems for independent professionals, belief change, and reality creation. His writing is directed toward life coaches, consultants, trainers, entrepreneurs, and professionals seeking clarity, emotional mastery, financial independence, and autonomy in their careers. Several of his works are used as reference material by aspiring and practicing coaches.

Dagia is also the creator of the **Emotional Fitness Gym®**, a registered and structured model that approaches emotional well-being using principles analogous to physical fitness. The model treats emotions as trainable capabilities rather than fixed traits and incorporates NLP, emotional intelligence frameworks, and somatic awareness. This approach has been applied in individual coaching, group programs, leadership development initiatives, and experiential workshops.

In addition to his work as an author, Dagia designs and delivers coach-training programs, including ICF-accredited pathways aligned with international coaching standards. His training methodology combines skill development, supervised practice, and real-world application, with an emphasis on ethical practice, coaching presence, and long-term professional sustainability.

Before transitioning fully into coaching and training, Dagia worked in the information technology sector, where he was involved in project leadership and complex problem-solving. His shift from corporate work to independent practice has influenced much of his writing on career transition, autonomy, and building freedom-based professional models.

Dagia’s work has been referenced in print and digital media in the context of emotional health, stress management, coaching, and personal development. He continues to write, teach, and develop frameworks aimed at helping individuals and professionals build emotionally resilient, values-aligned, and self-directed lives.
