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.

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

INOne 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.

GBSelf 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.
