About Me
My coaching clientele are leaders, entrepreneurs & executives from high-growth startups to scale-ups who are driven to push boundaries. I also partner with teams to navigate systemic complexity. With 20 yrs of experience across MENA & South Asia leading large-scale transformations for blue-chip companies, I understand that the greatest leadership challenge isn’t just managing the "system" outside; it’s managing the system within.
Coaching for me is about being a catalyst in bringing out a clear purpose in people (& thereby organisations).
I often encounter clients at crossroads: successful on paper but feeling uninspired, or "zooming" through their career without considering the possibilities around them.
Do you find yourself:
* Frequently 2nd-guessing or seeking external validation despite your experience/seniority?
* Struggling to navigate complex dynamics of boards, peers, or teams?
* Feeling the weight of "Productivity Dysmorphia”; where no achievement feels like enough?
* Managing a calendar that satisfies everyone’s demands except your own?
* Caught in "Deferred Life Hypothesis," waiting for a future date to pursue that role or promotion?
* Struggling to make decisions assertively or standing by them?
If overwhelm or doubt are the dominant emotions when you think of your job, you are likely facing the modern leadership paradox: being productive yet deeply disconnected.
This is where I come in! My award-winning research on work-life integration led to the CALIBRE coaching model, which helps declutter goals and dissolve self-imposed limitations.
Bridging Business Rigour with Inner Grounding:
I partner with you to align your professional mission with your inner self. In my 7-month program, we don’t just work on tactical shifts; we utilise presence & the regulating power of breath-work to move you from a state of constant mental churn to grounded, decisive action.
If you are ready to anchor your leadership in true presence, I am here to support & guide.

Lakki is a precise combination of directional rigour and niggling mirror as you'd expect a Coach to be! In my 6+ years of knowing her, she has consistently guided (and goaded) me to find my footing firmly in the professional ladder we all climb. Never taking lethargy for an answer - especially where self-development is concerned - I have always been pushed by her to move beyond reflections and work towards tangible outcomes. I believe her presence, guidance and the practical tool-sets she accesses can be transformative for anyone looking for sense in the maddening journey of leadership.

I am a professional leading a team of 18 people and I have been looking for support in improving my management and leadership skills. My most valuable take away from this engagement with Lakki has been recognizing my blind spots and changing the way. Lakki was patient with me through the engagement and used to take time to help me think and understand the situation or context through her questions. I would recommend coaching for every individual who is interested in growth and balance.

There were many things I was planning or thinking of doing for a while, like writing and public speaking. Coaching with Lakki helped me to start executing them and introspect and become more self-aware. I believe introspection helps in life across personal and professional domains. One of my major focal areas in my sessions with Lakki was Communication. Some of my major take-aways are, the importance of empathetic communication and it being critical for leaders; putting thoughts in writing, through journaling for example, to get clarity; being mindful about my tone and words while communicating; listening patiently and actively. All throughout the sessions Lakki used to actively listen, observe, and nudge, enabling me to take necessary steps. I would recommend coaching to everyone as one generally tends to forget to take a pause and reflect on their strengths and opportunities to improve. It is a good tool as you get an experienced helping hand like Lakki nudging you to become more self-aware by thinking, planning, and executing better. I believe it is not just useful for professional career but life in general.

My team has been a high performing team for a while. However there were aspects that needed addressing mostly around relationships, confidence and a general lack of cohesion. Through Lakki's sessions, we explored how we can align better as a team and discovered our worth was not only in meeting sales figures but also in the value we bring to patients and other stakeholders. The team started putting in focused attention and is now more aware and sensitive of our approach / interaction with not only the doctors and patients; but other indirect stakeholders too. The TAM profiles which Lakki took us through were an eye opener in understanding why some of us within the team choose to do things the way we do. When Covid hit initially in 2020, having a highly driven coach like Lakki with us for a few months was highly valuable and a relief. She helped us bring the same energy and focus on ourselves and the team as well. Accountability is higher now within the team and I notice a heightened sense of belonging among the team members. I am hoping to re-engage with her soon!

Lakki has been my career and life coach since mid-2019. Beyond being a doctor, I am part of the administration of the hospital I work at, with an increasing leadership and administrative role. Our coaching engagement has been an eyeopener for me in terms of getting a perspective about where I need to get to and how I need to get there with targeted focus on short as well as long term goals. For example I used to spend a lot of my time trouble-shooting daily hurdles in each administrative departments, until Lakki helped me focus on the broader goals and spend time mentoring and reorganizing the team which helped streamline the overall work flow and less need for daily trouble shooting. Not only has Lakki been giving patient listening and essential nudges during the sessions, but the best part is her keen involvement and dedication to follow-up on the progress outside of session hours too and challenge me to make aggressive path corrections where needed to ensure a successful trajectory.
