Phenomenal 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!

She 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! :)

Best 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.

Self realization journey to transform life (work and home) In my career, I felt invisible, not valued. I wanted to have it all but was not able to give justice to all with peace (work and home). After having initial call with Mrinalini, I decided to take a leap of faith and join Mrunalini's coaching. It was a self realization journey that has changed me into a fearless individual who knows and demands their worth. She helped me find my calling, my dream. As Mrunalini says, 'Dreams are dreams until you take action to make them reality'. This experience gave me the courage to have high stake conversations at work. I was able to negotiate a significant salary raise under Mrunalini's guidance. The techniques she teaches transforms your life. Her guidance is not limited to work related issues unlike others in the professional coaching field. The techniques, she taught me, I practice them everyday. All the practical tools and techniques for specific work/otherwise situations, all the teaching material is very practical and valuable. It has helped me become a better leader in work and on social front while for my family I am a better mom, daughter, sister, mentor and wife. In future when I will be at crossroads in work life or personal life, I know I will be reaching out to Mrunalini. I am grateful for the journey and coaching with Mrunalini and my class of courageous women taking charge of all aspects of their life.

Exceptional 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!!
