Coaching Style

Shalini’s clients describe her as having a calm presence, enabling them to leave their fast-paced world outside and move into a different space where high quality thinking can happen. Shalini believes that every coachee has their own answers within themselves – and that her role is to partner with them, offering space, support and constructive challenge – so they connect with their own wisdom. She focusses on how clients will use what they have learned through coaching to reach their work and life goals, and what they are learning about themselves. Shalini’s knowledge of working in client facing roles as a lawyer and as a consultant, as well as working in business roles, gives her a rich understanding of the wider systems that her clients operate in and underpins her work as an executive coach.

Intuitive / Curious / Pragmatic; clients say I support them to unpack complex issues and provide the right level of challenge to push their thinking further.
