Smita is one of the finest coach as she is very supportive and an attentive listener. As a Coach, she empowers her coachees’ to be accountable and own the goals/tasks assigned to them during the coaching period. Nevertheless, she understands the paths of the career-driven individuals and customizes the career path according to the individual goals/desires, keeping in mind realistic goals. She has played a pivotal role in my life as a coach, providing me with a self-driven roadmap that will eventually help me achieve my desired goals. Thank you, Smita for the valuable coaching and wish you all the best for helping folks in need of career transitions around the world.

Smita helped me turn things around. I used to get stuck thinking about all the things I needed to do but never had a clear way to start. The structure, schedule, and weekly check-ins we set up made all the difference. Now I feel more focused and I’m finally making progress on my goals.
Harshit Sethi, Senior ML Engineer, based out of Australia
Having worked with multiple coaches in a two-decade-and-a half-career, I can safely say that Smita is one of the most committed coaches I have come across. She is able to listen well, and ask probing questions for the coachees to come up with solutions. She was able to get to the root of the issue in my case early and offer a specific tool to address it. Recommend her strongly to anyone looking for transformation in any aspect of their life.

The coaching has been really rewarding. Smita created an environment where we could have open conversations and get my concerns addressed. She is phenomenal listener and gave me fantastic tips to work toward my objectives. I can say I have become lot more confident person than I was before these sessions! Would recommend her to anyone who feel they are stuck in their life and looking for guidance and clarification.

Smita has made me realize that the answers to my problems are within me. My productivity increased and confidence sky-rocketed after the sessions with her. She celebrated my small successes and helped me overcome my challenges. I have now started to believe that my goals are within reach.
Meghana, Vice President in one of India’s Leading Banks
Every session I had with Smita was an “Aha!” moment. Smita helped me identify impactful approaches to improve my executive communication. Her sessions were easy to understand, were linked to the goals I had, and easy to put into practice. I knew what I wanted out of the sessions, and yet have learnt much more against my expectations, and am very grateful to her for that.
