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!

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! :)

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

GBPhenomenal 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!
