Challenge: A high performer who wanted to build more self-belief and confidence to accelerate growth
I had the incredible opportunity to work with Chandni as my career coach, and I can confidently say that she has been a game-changer in my current professional journey. Chandni's ability to help me identify and address the challenges I was facing was truly remarkable. We focused on building confidence and uncovering growth opportunities based on my core achievements.
What sets Chandni apart is her unwavering positive attitude and her role as a constant cheerleader. She has a unique talent for turning what initially seemed like complex obstacles into realistic and achievable tasks. Chandni provided me with a clear roadmap and practical goals that not only made the process feel attainable but also ignited a renewed sense of purpose in my career.
One example of the many transformative tasks Chandni assigned me to build confidence was to write down three positive traits or experiences about myself every day. This seemingly simple exercise turned out to be a powerful tool for self-discovery and empowerment.
Chandni's approach was brilliant – by consistently acknowledging and documenting positive aspects of myself, I began to uncover a treasure trove of core strengths. Reflecting on my achievements and recognizing the unique qualities I possessed allowed me to see my capabilities in a new light. Over time, this process became a catalyst for boosting my self-esteem and cultivating a more positive self-image. Chandni's guidance in this exercise was instrumental in shifting my focus from self-doubt to self-affirmation.
Her guidance went beyond just theoretical advice; Chandni's hands-on approach and personalized strategies were instrumental in helping me overcome hurdles and maximize my potential. I am immensely grateful for her support and guidance, and I would highly recommend Chandni to anyone seeking a dedicated and empowering career coach. Working with her has been a transformative experience.

“Enlightening - Morale Boosting - Strategic 
I had the opportunity and privilege of working with Chandni on leadership development over a 3 month period. these sessions were very well structured, customized to my areas of development and focused on what works best for ME (no standard / off the shelf GYAN).
Chandni conducted these sessions using a mix of presentations, role play and giving some food for thought ahead of the next session. These were well spread across, ensuring we get a chance to monitor the progress and also discuss any matters that came up during the course of our association.
I recollect one situation where I had to reach out outside of our scheduled sessions for some advice, she was extremely supportive and took time to guide - as well as followed up on it.
Thank you Chandni, these sessions helped me understand the importance of being authentic, and backing myself!
The Grace under fire, being agile and yet Framing it before claiming it - few of the many takeaways I have! 
Look forward to staying connected and building from here on!”

Abhilasha Chattopadhyay – Research Partner, India
Challenge: A PhD. seeking clarity for a career pivot
Finding direction after a PhD can be daunting, but with Chandni as my guide, I navigated the fog with newfound confidence. Initially, I mistakenly believed that academia or the corporate world were my only options. However, Chandni’s insightful guidance helped me explore a diverse range of possibilities, venturing far beyond the realm of charted routes. Her warm and gentle nature immediately put me at ease, creating a safe space where I could openly discuss my motivations, anxieties, and aspirations.

What truly sets Chandni apart is her exceptional ability to read between the lines. Possessing an uncanny intuition, she effortlessly wove through my scattered thoughts and pinpointed the core of my desires. This allowed us to prioritize my career goals with laser focus, discarding irrelevant options and honing in on what truly mattered.

Thanks to her guidance, I am working as a Research Partner with a Production House. It turns out neither academia nor corporate were my only paths, and Chandni’s invaluable guidance helped me explore all possibilities and vet them against each other to find the perfect fit.

I would usually emerge from our sessions with a clear roadmap, not just for my career but for my overall well-being. Chandni helped me connect my professional goals to my personal values, ensuring I wasn't chasing a dream that felt hollow.
Chandni is more than a career coach; she's a trusted ally who empowered me to chart my own path to fulfillment. I highly recommend Chandni to anyone seeking clarity and direction in their career journey.
Rahul Jha - Corporate Strategy, ACG world
Challenge: Stretching outside the comfort zone and juggling multiple potential offers
I went to Chandni when I was fronted with a few decision points at work – each had a unique upside. It helped talking to someone like Chandni who herself has gone through an extensive and diverse corporate experience. While talking, I felt what I was thinking, saying, and feeling was not just heard but also understood.
Chandni interestingly and thankfully helped me reach my own decision points, with just nudges and no influence. Given I come from a non-conventional background and pedigree in the field I am currently in, I was worried I wouldn’t be understood but as it turns out, I was not just understood and heard but my predicament was also simplified to an extent where I was made to see it as small but significant problems which could be answered through asking the right questions. The self-work exercises too were not high-effort, and it made me go deeper and think, which ultimately helped me in making my decision.

Challenge: Accelerating the launch of a new product
I encountered Chandni's coaching when I was looking for ways to enhance my performance in launching a new business. Although I had taken practical MBA classes, working one-on-one with Chandni allowed me to navigate my personal and professional situations together, exploring what options were available to me.
In any organization, it's easy to get derailed by comparing oneself to others, but Chandni consistently guided me back to focusing on my own path. She helped me understand my strengths and weaknesses, providing customized coaching that was incredibly effective. This tailored approach made the learning experience exceptional, as I could progress while gaining deeper self-awareness.
Additionally, Chandni shared case studies from her own career, offering insights from various perspectives. Her extensive experience provided valuable input that broadened my understanding. The flexibility she showed in adjusting the coaching schedule was also a great help.
Chandni is not just a coach, but a trusted guide and partner in my journey towards growth. Her coaching has been indispensable in the process of launching my new product line. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking to accelerate their professional development.

Challenge: Lack of focus / discipline in staying consistent
I had a strategy session with Chandni. I shared my work-related problems and my struggles with maintaining focus. After carefully listening, she shared some practical techniques to help resolve my issues. She introduced me to the concept of habit stacking. Her suggestions were very easy to apply, and within a week of implementing them, I could clearly see a difference in my work and focus. I now have much greater clarity of mind. Chandni is a very positive and supportive person, and I am immensely grateful for her help. Thank you so much, Chandni.
