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.

GBShe is a GEM! Mrinalini came to my life or I found her at the perfect time and space sequence. I was going through some challenging times at my work place and needed to make some decisions. I was at a point where “enough was enough.” With her help and guidance, we figured a way out. She guided and coached me on how to communicate my challenges and needs. I got results in a very short period of time probably 2 weeks after starting to work with her. She makes you really dive deep into your soul to understand yourself first. Once you better your relationship with self, everything else is just a domino effect. It gets better and better. Trust me, you won’t regret working with her in fact you must give it a try! :)

GBExceptional Program!! I joined Dr. Mrinalini Gadkari's Unshackled Career Woman program at a time when I was at a crossroads in my career. I’m a 49-year-old doctor, and I had been in a position for 13 years with a minimal pay raise and feeling like more and more work was being piled on me as each year passed. With accurate precision and fascinating efficiency, she diagnosed the problem right away, and we got to work. She uncovered a key problem in my self identity, and helped me crawl out of the ditch that I had gotten myself into. By the end of our course, I had over a sixfold increase in return on my investment in the form of a pay raise, and opened lines of communication with my boss for future problems as well. But Mrinalini gave me something even more valuable than that. She equipped me with a plan to assure my worth from here going forward in business and in other vital relationships, and I left with a renewed sense of my self esteem. My marriage is stronger now, I have more healthy boundaries in my relationships with my sister and my children, and I’m delegating more at work so I can focus on value-adding activities that only I can perform!!

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!

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.
