"Shilpa acted as my accountability partner"
"...allowed me to move from a ‘busy and chaotic’ mindset to acting ‘clear and level-headed’
"...allowed me to move from a ‘busy and chaotic’ mindset to acting ‘clear and level-headed’
I was leading on a major diversity project at work and I was finding it difficult to successfully carry out this project. I was finding it challenging to organise my thoughts and effectively plan. I came to coaching, with Shilpa, in the hope that I could address my productivity issues and become a lot more effective. The coaching experience was really positive. Shilpa listened attentively to me in a non-judgemental manner. Crucially, I was able to successfully complete my project. During the coaching sessions, I was able to create an action plan and set realistic deadlines. Shilpa acted as my accountability partner. She was genuinely interested in seeing me succeed and offered me unconditional support.
This project was a keystone one for me. I am grateful for everything Shilpa did for me and there is no doubt that I became more effective after the coaching sessions.

I started my journey with Shilpa in a space where I was busy and near chaotic where I often neglect the ‘now’ to start preparing for the ‘next steps’. The sessions Shilpa led helped me understand my values and boiled these down to the root of my core needs.
This journey helped me prioritise being in the moment and to spend more time reflecting on the progress I’ve made.
Shilpa guided me on this journey at my pace in such a way where I discovered this for myself, giving me control of the journey. For me the impact of reflecting on my progress and enjoying achievements in the moment has allowed me to move from a ‘busy and chaotic’ mindset to acting ‘clear and level’ both at work and in personal life. This sounds so obvious written down, but Shilpa really helped me understand my core values and take action on these.

"Already made a considerable difference to effectiveness in working towards my goals"
I worked with Shilpa to bring greater clarity and focus to a number of career and personal goals which I wanted to rejuvenate. Shilpa has a great grounding in life skills tools, which she introduced into our discussions in a calm and friendly manner. She managed to keep the focus objective for each of the topics I wanted to explore, but at the same time brought a humanity to the exercise which made the process pleasant and sustainable. The skills I’ve learnt from our sessions have already made a considerable difference to my effectiveness in working towards those goals.

My experience working with Shilpa has been overwhelmingly positive. I started the journey from a position of wanting to revalidate my career goals and discover new tactics to help achieve them. Shilpa took a methodological approach from the start, challenging my motivations and perceptions to uncover what are my key drivers. With this awareness I have been able to create a short to medium term plan that encompasses what I want to achieve as well as creating accountability for how I will do so. Throughout the process I have learnt to think beyond just my career aspirations, and to be mindful of all the other factors that contribute to me performing at my best and I already feel I have achieved a better state of balance because of this. Sessions with Shilpa quickly became a highlight of the week and I would definitely recommend her services to anyone who has broad long- term objectives that they want to hone.

"Regain Focus on what really matters"
Before I started with Shilpa, I found myself floating through life and not living it. For me, I really wanted to focus on what made ME happy and how I could make accountable steps in my life to make this happen. We focussed on my career, my health and most importantly, my wellbeing.
Without Shilpa, I don’t think I would’ve gained the focus and energy to focus on my happiness. Shilpa had an introductory session to get to the bottom of what I really wanted to focus on. Each week we took accountable and achievable steps in reaching those goals.
Helping me with myorganisation, guiding me through my thoughts and habits to renew my belief in myself. I had all the tools already, but
Shilpa helped me see that there was nothing stopping me in using them. For example, we set out times where I would food prep, exercise and set a development plan for my job,
she encouraged me to have conversations with people I needed to but stopped myself from having!
Where Shilpa really went above and beyond was remembering certain events I had scheduled or shared and Shilpa checked in to see how these conversations/ actions went and gave me the support and reassurance that I needed to follow through with confidence.
She has given me tips to continue
with all of these tools going forward. Shilpa guided me through these coaching sessions and most importantly didn’t put words into my
mouth, but led the conversation and helped me gain confidence to set and complete these achievable goals.
With Shilpa’ s coaching, I have managed to regain focus into what really matters and for me that is better wellbeing. We have put the time and effort in to make my life, not only easier, but better.
It is thanks to Shilpa that my worries have gone and my confidence to take these next steps has returned.

Having Shilpa as a coach has been a great experience. When we met, I had already set my goals for the year and she helped see those goals with more clarity by breaking them into smaller achievable steps that I need to execute daily. I know I am now on the right path to achieve the body of my dreams and have also started my journey in investing. Our coaching sessions happen fortnightly which keeps me accountable as at the end of each session there will be a set of actions for me to compete over the following 2 weeks. This keeps me motivated and makes me feel I am on track. She has also helped challenge some of my limiting beliefs and search evidence to understand whether those beliefs have any rationale behind. Overall, I am very pleased with my coaching journey with Shilpa and look forward to seeing my progress over the next months.

"A Great Listener"
"Encouraged my own Self-Discovery"
"Completely non-judgemental"
Shilpa’s coaching has helped me to better articulate my goals and also provided a sounding board to help me realise why I have not made as much progress as I would have liked to in the past. By working with her I have been able to break these goals up into smaller bit sized tasks which makes achieving them feel more attainable. I know have clear daily and weekly activities which I hope to build into healthy habits going forward. Having her act as an accountability partner has also helped me to keep on track with my weekly tasks. Shilpa is a great listener and I genuinely feel she wants to see me succeed. I am really enjoying our sessions and looking forward to the next one.

"Completely non-judgemental"
I found it hugely helpful to have an honest discussion with someone who understood the context that I’m working in. Shilpa has such a great manner that is completely non-judgemental as well as really empowering. It really made me take time to think about what I needed to do to make a changes. More importantly it also made me step outside of being consumed by the day to day which is so easy.

"A Trusted Sounding Board"
"Felt more Motivated and more Confident in my abilities"
"Encouraged my own Self-Discovery"
Shilpa’s coaching has had a very positive impact on me since starting our sessions. It has provided a means for me to remain accountable for my actions and provided a trusted sounding board for me to talk about the areas of my life I would like to work on.
Her approach has helped me to firstly identify the area’s I would like to improve and secondly, break down my focus area into manageable actions that I can work on week by week.
She is a great listener and very respectful towards any sensitive information exchanged in our sessions. Her methodology of getting small things done every week has helped me to build effective habits and I can see myself getting closer to achieving my goals.
Shilpa has been a great coach and I am thankful for her continued support

I used the coaching sessions with Shilpa to get through the end of my course. I was struggling to get the paperwork completed. My goal was to complete my Diploma by Sep 2019. Shilpa was very professional, showed great respect and patience. She was sensitive in her approach and non-judgemental.
I was able to come up with the right solutions for me. I always ended the sessions with a clear and positive plan. I became more focused and driven. After every session, I felt motivated and more confident in my own abilities.
I learnt a great deal about myself, my patterns of behaviour and I became aware of what I was going to gain from not taking action. I feel more empowered and resourceful due to the coaching experience with Shilpa. I am managing my time better and feel more in control and content.
I achieved my goal – I completed my Diploma by end Sep with a Distinction!!
I am glad I had this opportunity and I recommend coaching sessions with Shilpa to everyone.

About Me
My Story: Hi everyone, I'm Shilpa......
.....and I’m the eldest daughter of 2, born in Mombasa, Kenya, emigrating to the UK in 1977. A quiet, conscientious, private, extremely hardworking, determined, competitive, resilient, focused and driven individual who strives to excel in anything that I put my mind to.
Moving to the UK came with its own challenges: a new culture that was alien to us, a new climate, new friends, schools and even my first experience of racism and bullying. I knew then that I would need to work harder than others to achieve my dreams and goals. My goals (at 8 years old) were to be an A* student, to have a fantastic career, to be financially independent and secure, to make my parents proud and to always strive to improve myself as well as to make the world a fairer place.
I've always been someone who has placed high expectations on myself and strived to do things that others felt were not possible or difficult. The more someone said something couldn't be done, the more I wanted to prove them wrong.
As I was growing up, I noticed that it was rare for Indian girls to go to university, get degrees, get good jobs and be financially independent and so I set myself a challenge to go against the grain of societal expectations and norms, helped by the unwavering encouragement and support from my parents. I went to university, and gained a good Economics Degree (and then a MBA), I went onto secure some pretty exciting jobs at highly renowned blue-chip companies and eventually set foot on the property ladder (without any financial support from anyone). I was fiercely independent, yet always remained humble and grounded. From time to time, I would be faced with obstacles that life threw my way and it was all too easy to accept defeat, but something inside me kept telling me to keep on going.
I learnt over the years how important it was for people to dig deep and find their passion, their purpose and to never give up and accept defeat, in order to fulfil their dreams and desires. But more often than not, we get trapped into living our everyday life and bury our dreams deep inside.
I'm married to an amazing man, Raj, who gives me the freedom and wings to go and achieve my dreams.
My dream is now very clear: I want to help people transform their dreams into reality; I want to help both men and women realise their true potential and purpose in life. I want to provide encouragement, guidance, accountability, help remove obstacles and give confidence to those that dare to dream big.
