Client testimonials
I’m always humbled by what emerges in coaching conversations. Here are a few voices from the journey, shared with permission, and held with deep gratitude.
I felt safe sharing my thoughts without being judged. I felt like I could learn from her at various meta levels ,the insights/framework shared, the thought process and the philosophy of handling and accepting things. I feel I could have participated more, as I realised by doing that I would have gained more. I think the engagement was right sized, but I felt like I would want more/longer sessions. Hence on the last session I felt sad to see it close.

Associate director – Institutional partnerships
I had the privilege of working with an exceptional executive coach whose impact on both my professional and personal life has been transformative. From creating a supportive environment for self-reflection to providing practical strategies for leadership challenges, my coach’s guidance has significantly improved my leadership style, communication skills, and decision-making. Beyond the professional realm, my coach also played a pivotal role in enhancing my work-life balance, stress management, and overall well-being. Their genuine commitment to my success, coupled with unwavering support, turned our coaching engagement into a partnership that exceeded my expectations. I wholeheartedly recommend my executive coach to any leader seeking positive change, growth, and a more fulfilling professional and personal life.

“I am a few coaching sessions down, in my journey, and can vouch for the efficacy that the interactions have brought in my life, especially on the professional front. For someone who has not always had a mentor at work and is an introvert, the coach, Sruthi Venkatramani, has proven to be a good guiding force in understanding and navigating work challenges. The fact that I can be equipped to do better without changing who I am fundamentally has come as a relief, and I can’t wait to learn more.

I was lucky to have met Sruthi as my coach! Her ability to actively listen, analyze and empathize with things that were hidden to me, but so evident to her. She encouraged me to explore my thoughts and reflect on who I am in my profession and in which direction I could move further, to continue building my career path. Each session was so much more than expected and every time it was an interesting journey. Inspired by new ideas & solutions (both in my professional & personal context). I appreciate a lot, Sruthi’s dedication to our sessions, her time and patience, and do hope to
collaborate again!

Sruthi is very focused, at the same time she allows the client to be in a flow. She did some great exercises with me which further helped me invest in myself, emotionally. I consider Sruthi my confidant after this coaching journey and I hope to continue coaching under her, whenever I am in
doubt. Thank you for helping me and guiding me to take steps towards a better future.

“Sruthi helped me gain clarity on my professional goals and priorities. I was able to clearly articulate to myself and my stakeholders, what I was seeking, this has helped me a great deal and will surely continue to help me as the coaching progresses”.
