GBPhenomenal Career Coach Mrinalini I am so happy to write this testimonial for Dr. Mrinalini. I have been in the high-tech industry for 22 years with a great track record behind me. When I first started working with her, I was feeling under appreciated and stuck, at work. This had been going on for a few months and I was in the middle of making a career move. During my 2+ months of working with Mrinalini, I had several major realizations - I matter; my opinions matter; I am as important as anyone else in the room. I play small to make other people feel good about themselves. Awareness is the first step! This has changed how I show up at work. I now communicate from a place of confidence. During tough conversations, I am able to hold my ground and continue to make progress without becoming aggressive or defensive. I have become conscious of the times when I’m playing small to make other people feel good. I have realized that I no longer need to do that. I look at the big picture. I have realized that I bring more value to the organization by asking the right questions and assigning the right tasks to the right people rather than doing them myself. I am clearly able to articulate my needs to my manager and to other organization leaders and get the support I need. She also provides valuable techniques for meeting facilitation. Her work goes far beyond career coaching. She goes deep into your formative years to understand what your limiting beliefs are and where they came from. The role I’m currently in, has a high-level of responsibility without direct authority. In order to thrive in a role like this, I need to inspire, influence, and get things done by many cross-functional teams. The work that I did with Mrinalini will serve as a strong foundation for this role as well as my future roles. I strongly recommend anyone who wants to up-level their career to work with Mrinalini. Mrinalini is an incredible coach!

TWBest career program for women Dr.Mrinalini’s program is the best career program I have ever had in my life. Different from other general leadership or communication programs, her program is designated for each person’s need, and focuses on each of our specific career goal. Dr.Mrinalini is a an active listener who listens to our situations patiently and carefully, and provides thoughtful and timely solutions. She’s also a great motivator and has motivated me to step out of my comfort zone and stand for myself for multiple times. These exercises are memorable learning experiences and have a lifelong positive impact on me. I feel fortunate and grateful to have met her and joined her program.

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!

GBMy life transformed drastically! Dr Mrinalini is not your regular career coach. She doesn’t superficially assess strengths and weaknesses and choose some career for you. She is an amazing and unique transformational career coach. She transforms a woman to become an authentic, happy, and confident person. While in the Unshackled Career Woman program, Mrinalini helped me to go deep inside to find all the answers I wanted. She helped me clear the years of pain, guilt and resentment. For the first time, I had clarity on what I want and what I don’t. Now I feel very confident about making all decisions, big and small, as compared to my previous self who was scared of making simple decisions. I have become quite assertive and can say NO without batting an eyelid. I landed my dream job in just the 3rd week of working with Mrinalini. I didn't realize that it would be SO easy to attract my dream job once I was able to step and really see how worthy I am. She went above and beyond and prepared an amazing resume and prepped me for interview within 24 hours of applying. I confidently communicated my values, asserted what I was truly looking for during the interview and negotiated the maximum possible salary. I was a stay at home mom with two kids for many years before I enrolled in the program. And to be able to land exactly what I was looking for by leveraging my qualifications instead of going after a new certification or degree is a miracle. It is so amazing to know that it is not that difficult to be happy and do what we like. I now have a clear path of where I want to go. I am a better person today personally and professionally. Mrinalini helped me to shift my mindset and patiently worked with me to resolve the challenges I had and provided me with resources to be happy, confident and authentic self. Thank you Mrinalini!

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!
