As an American senior IT professional in a multi-national company who works in an advisory, but not supervisory, role with Indian and Chinese colleagues, I was aware that cultural differences could impact my effectiveness. Having had some minimal cultural awareness training in the past, I wanted to deepen my understanding of my colleagues' cultures. Working with Somya to complete the Culture Active assessment was an easy, and eye-opening, experience.
Through her coaching, Somya was able to direct me towards several areas where my assumptions about how to communicate with my coworkers did not match reality. Her specific suggestions for action have shown immediate positive results, and I'd happily recommend her to anyone seeking to increase their effectiveness in working across multi-national organizations.

Coaching is a process based on asking powerful questions and creating sustainable solutions. I work with high-achieving professionals and help them understand their challenges and empower them to find their own solutions. I support my clients in this process as they evolve into a better professional and a leader.

Every client is unique. Typically, a coaching engagement lasts for 3 to 6 months which includes having conversations, developing an action-plan and working towards accomplishing it. A coaching session lasts an hour and I meet my clients as per their needs. This could be weekly/bi-weekly/monthly. I am also available if there is a need for additional support. There is an option for One-hour coaching Session. If you are busy and need me for a specific issue, we can get together and get targeted, powerful results in an hour.
Executive coaching is often confused as a specialty coaching for individuals with the job title- “Executive”. But, it is coaching for anyone who has an executive role. You could be a manager, a business owner, a scientist or a medical professional. If you experience challenges that are obstructing your growth and desire to lead, then you should consider engaging in coaching session with me.
No, not at all. My rationale to do so is to open this avenue to professionals in the technical and academic fields where coaching opportunities are rare. Additionally, having worked in the higher education and biotechnology field earlier in my career, I can empathize with these scenarios better.
Yes, I do. I am a licensed intercultural trainer. I help individuals and teams building better working relationships using global culture mindset. I also coach leaders on developing these skills as needed.
Depending on your need and goals, I may use of the following tools:
– Personal Assessments
– Team-based Assessments for coaching teams
– Role Plays
– Action-items between sessions
– 360-degree Assessments
– Micro coaching
