My 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!

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!

"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.

One of the best career and life coaches Working with Dr. M was one of the best decisions of my life. Me and my life both have changed drastically after working with her. We started working when I was at my rock bottom of my life. I didn't feel good about myself- physically and mentally. I used to criticize my body a lot and was on antidepressants and a heavy smoker. While working with her, she help me identify the root causes of why I was living my life this way and taught me the tools to eliminate my self-limiting beliefs. I got off the antidepressants in just one day and haven't needed medication since. I feel more confident about myself and my body. I don't judge myself any longer for my shape and size. I feel self-assured and have started to really love myself. I came to realize that I am worthy of having whatever I desire. In the past I would keep myself busy like a hamster on a wheel with no clear goals in sight. Mrinalini taught me to take actions that align with my goals, which has brought more ease into my life. She helped me see and own up my true value and I have learned to show up in life with power, not a victim. Her techniques are spot on and have given me the quickest results I could have ever hoped for. The people around me are loving the confident, clear and powerful person I have become. I highly recommend her to everyone who want to live their life authentically and blissfully.

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!!
