I work on the one thing that decides almost everything: how you relate.

I am a relationship and executive coach who loves to contribute to people’s growth stories. That sentence sounds simple. It took me two decades, and one uncomfortable realisation, to earn it.

The realisation was this. My career gave me everything a CV wants — promotions, scale, teams, results. Somewhere in my forties I noticed that I was extremely good at managing outcomes and quietly terrible at managing relationships. I was so effective at work that I had become almost useless at home. The version of me my family got in the evening was whatever the day had left over, and most days it left very little.

What changed it was not a book. It was people — mentors and coaches who asked me questions I had been carefully avoiding. They did not give me answers. They made it impossible for me to keep not looking. The first relationship that had to change was the one I had with myself; everything else followed from there. That experience is the whole reason this practice exists.

A safe, non-judgemental space where you can say the true thing out loud — and then do something about it.

So I trained. Properly. ICF certification. Mars-Venus Relationship Coaching under Dr John Gray, whose work on how men and women differ in thinking, communication and stress response sits underneath a great deal of what I do with couples. A licence in emotional intelligence coaching, NLP, and an organisation development coaching credential — because I wanted to work with individuals and with the systems they sit inside, and those need different instruments.

I have since written Global Gender Intelligence: The Science of Success in Business, Love and Life with Dr John Gray and his certified Mars Venus Coaches — bringing the framework into an Indian context, and into the workplace as well as the home.

Today my week might hold a couple deciding whether to stay married, a father and his adult son in the same room for the first time in two years, a first-time CXO who has stopped sleeping, and a leadership team whose numbers are fine and whose trust is not. Different rooms. Same underlying work.
