Coaching Minority Champions of Diversity & Inclusion

I’ve been working with Devika on coaching sessions for a few months now. She creates a safe and confidential environment that allows going through a self-discovering process, identifying one’s strengths and focusing on optimizing them. Her ability to read people’s abilities and make the most out of them is extraordinary.

Devika provides support but challenges to ensure that you stretch yourself to deliver to your full capability. She has strong business acumen and understands the importance of clear, concise communication in getting your message across. She coached me as part of an INSEAD Executive Programme. I can highly recommend her if you are looking to transform or just hone your professional business & leadership skills.

Devika has helped me a lot, not only on how to be more confident on the business side but also on spiritually. She has helped me be socially accepting of myself and others. She pays attention to details, giving me space to talk, present my problems, and I come back having a different lens through which I look at the same issue. There were lots of warmth, inspiration, along with directions of guidance, while I was encouraged to solve my problem in my way. As it is my own battle, I must fight it myself, while she was on my side to help me remove some of the distractions, and boost my confidence.

Devika has been my coach for a while. Her unique approach and methodology make the coaching sessions intense, deep, and highly efficient. It allows you to confront yourself and explore beyond your imagination. Devika is specialized in dealing with complex personal topics with complete professionalism and discretion.

I worked with Devika for over 12 sessions on her Feminine Leadership and Presence coaching. I have come out with recognizing aspects of myself as a leader that were unacknowledged. I am not more strategically assert my position as a leader. Through the coaching journey with Devika, I was able to reconnect with my professional purpose, learned to ‘let go’, and improve my communication style to be more empowered and confident. All the tips, ideas, and guidance provided by Devika have resonated with me in such a way that I will carry them forward as I continue to grow professionally. Devika has a great ability to understand people in a very short time and build trust…which allowed us to have open and candid coaching sessions. Her vast experience working with women and corporate professionals really added to helping me develop in a professional setting as well as in my personal life.

One of Devika’s writing on Forbes about female leadership grasped my attention so I decided to reach out to her, which resulted in the beginning of a fruitful coach-mentee relationship.

During the year we worked together, She spent time listening to my childhood experience and walked me through how the most subtle experience shaped me to become who I am today. She is a great listener and she asks the right questions to help me gain a deeper understanding of myself. She has a gift to develop connection with people and it is with this connection that I managed to trust her in a short time. This trust is essential to our relationship as she could only give me meaningful guidance only if I allowed her into my world. I have become more attuned to my emotions, allowing me to be more centered as the chair of the business. I am very pleased with the result of the work we put in together. I am sure she would be a great coach to anyone who is interested in the journey of self discovery and awareness.
