GBTotal transformation I found Mrinalini while searching for a service to help me update my resume. After our first conversation, I knew she could offer me so much more. She told me all she could help me with, including the guidance and support to help me reach my career goals. At the beginning of the pandemic, I had decided to invest in myself, so I decided to start her course, the Unshackled Career Women. Before meeting Mrinalini, I had been passively going through my career without deciding what I wanted. The first change I noticed after starting the course was making my concerns known to my boss. In the past, I felt my concerns were not always valid, and I would convince myself not to say anything about them; this changed while taking the course. It became more comfortable for me to have meaningful conversations, which came from me understanding my value as a physician and as an individual. I also stepped into two leadership roles while working with Mrinalini, becoming a medical director for a new clinic and co-chair of my company’s newly formed diversity council. Being apart of the diversity council was an extension of something I have always been passionate about, which is helping minorities. I saw so many significant changes in my professional life and personal life while enrolled in Mrinalini’s course. It is something I would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone looking for clarity and fulfillment in their career.

GB"My career is not a hobby and I am going to treat it such" Deciding to work with Mrinalini as my career coach is one of the best decisions I have made for myself. Before consulting Mrinalini, I was in a place in my career where I often felt lost, undervalued at work, frustrated and uncertain of my career growth. I felt like I have reached a dead end and their was no way ahead for career advancement. Having consulted coaches to grow in other areas of my life, I thought it was high time to accept that I needed expert help to grow in my career too and that it is okay to ask for help. That's when I crossed paths with Mrinalini and life is not the same anymore. The core transformation that I have experienced after working with Mrinalini is that she reintroduced me to my value as an expert in my profession which I had started taking for granted for a while and so did the people around me as the world mirrors what is inside of us. One by one she helped me crush my long standing limiting beliefs about myself that was blocking the career success that was possible and available for me. She showed me what a valuable and unique asset I am to my company or for that matter any company that I may choose to work with in future. She coached me to never forget what value I bring to the table with my expertise and to always advocate for myself and my expertise wherever I work and to not only take up space at work but to unapologetically demand space at decision making tables and gain visibility at work. Her interview training skills and salary negotiation strategies are exceptionally beneficial and well crafted. Mrinalini is a compassionate, logical and highly knowledgeable career coach who has the rare skill to help her clients look at the most difficult situations as opportunities to step up and shine in their career. Mrinalini coached me to always look for outcomes & to not forget to highlight them, here are some of the tangible outcomes that I gained while working with Mrinalini in last few months: 1) I became more assertive in the workplace, started speaking up confidently in meetings. I started taking up space. 2) Two amazing dream job opportunities came my way back to back. 3) I interviewed extremely confidently for the job as if I was having a conversation & assessing if the job & employer is really a good fit for me or not and I easily demonstrated my value and got the job offer. 4) During negotiation phase I negotiated 10K in addition to what was offered to me and later it sank in for me, if I hadn't negotiated, I could have easily left 10K on the table and would have lost 100K in 10 years. 5) I learned to look at the employer as my equal during the interview process. They need me as much as I want them. This changed my perspective on how I show up for interviews differently now. "My career is not a hobby and I am going to treat it such" is one of the many valuable life lessons that Mrinalini has instilled in me that will stay with me forever. Thank you so much, Mrinalini for everything that you did for me. I am forever grateful to you.

GBTransformational Experience When I began working with Mrinalini 6 months ago, I wasn’t really even sure what I needed help with but I knew I could be happier, both in my personal life and my professional life. She quickly got to the root of my discontent and I learned that my struggles signified I was not in “perfect flow,” despite my masterful abilities to justify otherwise. Here's how things changed for me: My career has been noteworthy for being a highly aspiring physician leader wearing many hats and bearing many “important” titles; many of my peers would kill for what I have but yet I wasn't feeling aligned with what my soul really desires. Mrinalini gently, skillfully, and swiftly helped me become aware of my limiting beliefs and taught me how to own what I needed to change. She scripted for me, step by step, exactly what to do and then I was quickly able to articulate with clarity what I stand for and what I want to be to this world. I now know how to recognize the negative spirals that I can so easily become victim to, accept them for what they are, and then take command of the path to get what I know I deserve. Today I am proud to report that I know exactly what I want to pursue for both my personal and professional happiness. My only regret is that I didn’t start working with Mrinalini sooner! Mrinalini is a profound listener; she hears things that aren’t even said. She will immerse in your journey with you. I can attest that I felt so supported in every difficult decision I made along the way. I now see my future without boundaries and I suddenly feel support from so many people around me (not that they didn’t support me before, but I wouldn’t have guessed how tremendously supportive they could be if I presented my story the way I can now articulate it). Life should be easy, not hard. I fully believe that I deserve to experience all the joy and wonder and comfort and ease this life has to offer me. And now I know how to get what I want. Mrinalini uses nurture and kindness to ask questions, listen humbly, and probe gently but firmly to reveal your most honest aspirations, desires, and dreams. She will help you reach deep into your soul to surface what’s missing, help you articulate it unambiguously, remove what stands in the way, and then guide you step-by-step in how you can go out and get it. Don’t waste another beautiful minute of your amazing life. Make an appointment now because you also deserve EVERYTHING you have ever wanted!

GBBreaking free of the 'status quo' I started working with Mrinalini after listening to her on her online webinar. I have always had problems with self esteem and self-worth. I still do. They will not leave you suddenly, but you can always learn to deal with them. Mrinalini has been able to help me cope with a lot of my problems. It is relatively easier for me to shed the thoughts of inadequacy now, because of the methods I learnt from her. One thing I appreciate about Mrinalini is that she doesn’t feed your ego blindly to make you feel good about yourself or have a falsely inflated sense of self. There is logic and science behind everything she tells you or teaches you. I have also never seen her agree to anything I say just for the reason that I am her client and she wants me to have a positive opinion of her. I am a Medical Doctor trying to switch my career at the moment. Out of all the modules that I went through, the one with the interview tips was the most beneficial for me. My favorite part of working with her was that I never felt judged for sharing any of my thoughts or beliefs with her which is very important for me She has the right amount of empathy to understand where you are coming from and tries to give you an explanation or a method to deal. I also connected a lot with her own past experiences which helped me open up to her even more. She quickly understands the right direction to go to without wasting precious time on useless banter and figure out the root cause of all your problems.

GBMy journey with the program A journey of learning and self discovery (I didn't knew what my core values were, or my beliefs, my strengths). The program boosted my confidence, and it taught me how to negotiate salary as well. I got almost 70% salary raise in my current job. Thank you Mrinalini for all the guidance!
