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!!

My experience with creative and compassionate coach, Dr. Mrinalini Garv!! My experience with creative and compassionate coach, Dr. Mrinalini Garv, has been an extremely positive, supportive and encouraging. Mrinalini’s tenor is sincere; her inquiry and feedback are constructive, customized, and metered with empathy and care. ...I was able to realize what value I bring to the table, boosted my confidence and taught me how to advocate for myself and helped me to get a chair at the decision table. She has great techniques for promotion and salary negotiation. I was very fortunate to have the incredible opportunity to work with Mrinalini closely as my coach. She listens carefully and goes to the very essence of what you are trying to accomplish and focuses on the outcomes. Her ability to bring out the best in each of her students is truly remarkable. She helped me see things about myself that I was overlooking. Thank you, Mrinalini!! You have a great talent and skill at this.

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.

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!
