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 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!

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.

INThanks Mrinalini My name is Abhijit and I am currently working as a Principal Product Manager in the Information technology sector. Since I transitioned from Engineering to Product Management quite late in my career, I was plagued by self doubt, imposter syndrome, and was slightly perturbed by the fact that my peers were doing better in the Product Management space. Thats when I approached Mrinalini who has been enabling south Asian women grow personally and professionally. She worked on my mindset by addressing a lot of burden that I have been carrying since my childhood. She enabled me to identify my belief system and my behavioral patterns and reasons behind it. This helped me gain confidence, brought lot of clarity in my thought process. I started approaching meetings and interviews with a owner mindset rather than a peer or sometimes a slave mindset. As a result of all of these efforts, I have been able to secure a new opportunity that has resulted in more than 100% salary increase. And this is just the beginning, I will carry all these learnings throughout my career and hence going up and beyond. So, thanks Mrinalini for guiding me, goading me, and pushing all the right buttons. I highly recommend her for anyone who is looking for personal and professional growth

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! :)
