The Client
Junior sales & marketing associate looking to pivot
The Partnership
This associate was frustrated from being misled about her role in her company and not being given the responsibilities she hoped to take on. She also felt tired and insecure from job searching unsuccessfully for two years and not getting past the first round of interviews. During our coaching sessions, she learned how to better navigate interviewing and articulate her strengths. She learned how to communicate skills to try for roles different than her existing experience.
The Outcome
After three sessions, she successfully went through four rounds of interviews and was offered the job. She gained confidence from the momentum and built deeper clarity on what she was getting into and why it may have been the right move at the time.
A C-Suite executive preparing an educational and informative presentation
This executive had an upcoming presentation that she had procrastinated. She was holding onto fears around presenting but also wasn’t clear on how to present her ideas or build her story. In an intense half-day immersion, we got to the heart of her messaging, outlined a structure and built her presentation.
We created messaging that helped her share her ideas more meaningfully while not losing sight of conveying the information he needed to get across. We also normalized the fear and doubt that comes up around public speaking and gave her tools to positively channel the nervous energy.
Entrepreneur seeking to expand and explore new avenues for growth
As with any entrepreneur, this creative business owner had numerous goals and was trying to navigate forward through the overwhelm of many options. During our sessions we worked through building more clarity around her messaging to be able to see what options really resonated and what we could prioritize. She had a dream brand that she wanted to partner with as she felt they aligned with her mission. We made a plan on how we could make it happen for her.
We crafted the language around her strengths which she was able to apply to her immediate goal but also impacted her overall brand communication. Preparing her with this and the timing /pacing of her messaging, she was able to land her dream partnership and feel clear on her ask.
Mid-level sales account lead negotiating a new role
This sales account lead felt unsure and indecisive about a new job opportunity. During our coaching, we worked through the right questions to ask and the right timing of when to ask them to gain more clarity on what was the right move. We also talked through negotiating and how to balance staying firm yet grateful for the offer.
After a few sessions, he was confident in his decision and felt he had gained the clarity he needed to make the next move. He accepted the role with enthusiasm and excitement because he knew what we was walking into and negotiated exactly what he wanted.
Street Cred
I am amazed at how my confidence as a female founder and leader has soared. Gayathri's ability to help you reflect on what is really holding you back from achieving your goals and evolving your mindset is nothing short of magic. Everyone needs someone like Gayathri in their corner helping them become the best versions of themselves.
- EMELLIE |FOUNDER & CEO
Every company needs a Gayathri. And Gayathri specifically. In our one-on-one meetings over these past 6+ months, Gayathri has helped me recognize and name the hurdles I've encountered as a team leader - whether personal or systemic to help diagnose the root versus addressing only the symptoms. Gayathri challenges me to think holistically as a leader, which has benefited my interactions with both my internal team and my client-facing teams. Gayathri also provides the necessary level of accountability to ensure I continue recognizing my goals and identifying opportunities to achieve my goals. On top of all of that, Gayathri is a pleasure to work with and a fun, engaging person all around!
- LAUREN |DIRECTOR OF CLIENT ACCOUNTS
Gayathri has done an excellent job preparing me for interviews as I navigate a career change. Before she was my coach, I was struggling with how to connect the dots between my previous job experience and the jobs I was looking for. By challenging me to dig deeper, Gayathri was able to help me build a story that highlighted my strengths & skills from a new perspective. Gayathri's thoughtful guidance was able to give me the clarity & confidence I needed.
- CARLI |BRAND MANAGER
Gayathri's intelligence, thoughtfulness, and compassion come through in her coaching. She asks powerful questions, listens astutely (often reading between the lines and helping me articulate and clarify my own thinking), and partners with me to create an action plan. If ever I feel stuck - no matter how daunting the problem seems - I trust Gayathri can help me move forward. I recommend her coaching wholeheartedly.
- Amy |career Coach
Gayathri has a true gift of connection. I was able to connect the dots in my life with where I was, and where I wanted to be. She could see my vision and help guide my next steps to live a purposeful personal and professional life. I was also able to make a genuine connection with her as my coach. She listens and makes every session a safe space to be open and express my challenges, while remaining encouraging and calm.
- Laura | life coach
If you are ready to make a move with your career and need someone who not only listens but can push you to empower yourself on your journey, Gayathri is the girl for you. She not only helped me question what I wanted and what I deserved in my job but also assesses my long term ambitions to keep me focused and on track. I highly recommend Gayathri as the career coach that will not only cheer for you from the sidelines, but take you to the finish line.
- Monica | Art Director
Gayathri guided me seamlessly throughout my entire interview process. She was able to help me identify and play on my strengths while also challenging me to look into myself and determine what I really want out of a career. After a few sessions, she was able to help me better communicate during interviews and land that job. Gayathri's approach to coaching is not your typical transactional style of coaching, but rather an exquisite journey of learning and growth.
