Hear from real clients
Whether you are...
Not quite sure – you know that something has to change, but you're feeling stuck in pinpointing and solving it
At an inflection point – and you want to level up your performance where you are (without burning out or overworking)
At a decision point – and you want to make a clear-headed, confident choice about what to do next in your career
At a transition point – and you want to navigate the move to a new role, company, or career path
You’re in the right place.
I think the biggest transformation is not hating my brain. Now, I work with it and am like, “Oh, right, it's doing this to protect me. Thanks, brain!” I love that I have this relationship with my brain that's like a partnership.
Client
CEO, PE-backed company
I have more confidence. I advocate for myself a lot more at work. I second guess myself a lot less. I have healthier relationships with my family. The benefits didn't just impact me – they impacted my teams at work and my family at home. And that's pretty much all you can ask for.
Client
Head of Business Development at MedTech Company
I'm a much better partner to my co-CEO. And I feel more present when I'm with my son because I'm able to solve the challenges instead of bringing them into a new space.
Client
Founder & Co-CEO, Startup
I’ve gained the ability to notice when I'm in the more negative thought patterns and to recognize that no amount of bullying myself is going to result in the change I want. I’ve been able to build a more positive, affirming, confidence-building narrative about myself.
Client
Early-Stage Tech Startup Director turned Design Consultant
People have commented on it – they’ve said “Something's different about you.” My friends have been able to see me blossom and be more positive.

It's honestly fun. You're working on the most important thing in your life – your goals and your aspirations. And you're doing it in a manner that is not harsh or strict. In fact, it's quite fun.

Think of it like the difference between going to a doctor and going to a personal trainer.
If you have an unmanaged mental illness or are below baseline in your mental health, always seek out licensed mental health care.
If you’re functioning above baseline, but you still want to be less stressed, more effective, make more thoughtful decisions, and work toward your goals in a structured, consistent manner, a coach can be a great support.

Check out my Table of Contents page, where I organize all my free coaching and teaching by topic.
This page is jam-packed with tips, tricks, exercises, and processes for killing work stress, getting clear on what you want to do next, and making your next career step a success.

Quick Q&A

First, do you have a burning platform? Do you have a problem, goal, or result that you are determined to make happen? Are you saying: “The time has come. This needs to be solved NOW.”?
Second, have you been stuck for more than 7 days? Has it been more than a week since you’ve taken steps forward and made progress?
If you answered yes to both of those questions, it’s time to hire a coach. I want to help you make progress on your burning platform starting today. And when you have a coach, you never stay stuck for more than 7 days – because we coach every week, and every coaching session unlocks awareness, clarity, and next steps.

Quick Q&A
Meet Pooja
When I sat down for my Harvard Business School interview, the admissions officer simply pointed at my resume and said, “Explain this.”
I get where she was coming from, because my path can appear meandering.
But, as I explained to her that day, there are two common themes that connect everything I’ve done.
Theme 1: I’m here to do big things.
I don’t strive just because someone else is telling me to.
I strive because there is something inside me that has to come out:
An ambition. A mission. A purpose larger than me.
Theme 2: I’ve got to do it my way.
How do I fulfill my ambitions and unlock my fullest potential – without sacrificing my sanity, my relationships, my authenticity, or my paycheck?
That’s what every step on my career path has been aimed at finding out.
From screenwriting to management consulting to academic research to being a chief of staff – and finally to coaching, where I now help my clients do exactly what I’ve done:
Create a life that feels as good on the inside as it looks on the outside.
