Experiences

Recently I had the pleasure of having a coaching session with Payal. She guided me in using my strengths to enhance my soft competencies at the workplace. Payal impressed me with her deep knowledge and intrinsic aptitude for coaching through her insightful style. I am positive she will continue to guide many more lives via her future endeavors.
Kiran Deshpande

Regional Program Director – APAC & North Asia

From the first contact, I immediately felt a good vibe which resonated throughout the entire process. Payal helped me to define my strengths and use them in the pursuit of a finding a new professional challenge. Thanks to her, I am more aware how I can capitalise on these strengths in my day-to-day job and the challenges that come with it. Highly recommend her and her style of coaching!
Anthony Van Eeckhout

Human Resources Manager

I had 4 coaching sessions with Payal. We looked at addressing resistance from the past, clarifying my goals and owning my strengths. Her way of relating to people really allowed me to open up at both the practical and emotional level and uncover deeper insights about myself. She was able to call my attention to blind spots and help me process resistance which I did not know was affecting me to such a large extent.
Emma Lim

Payal was my first career coach and a godsend! She is energetic, breaks things down easily, easy-going and caring. She also is fairly knowledgeable and can provide useful insights from a corporate/management/culture side of things. Would highly recommend her services to anyone looking to build on their strengths individually and within and organisation with clarity, positivity and a long-term growth mindset.
Pixie

Payal is a very dynamic personal achievement expert with deep technical know-how but also a strong understanding of the human mind. She enjoys learning new things and is quick to apply practical knowledge where most useful.
Nader Sabry

CEO – Founder

Payal created a huge difference in my life at a very crucial juncture. Confusions were the source of all miseries in the past 8-9 months. I could only feel more gratified when I realized that the internal battles were finally over and the directions had been clearly laid out. Every little achievement from now stems from the strong seeds of foundation sown by Payal. Thanks for instilling so much sense and wisdom and making me a better person.
Pravin Madheshwaran

Business Operations Associate

“Payal is an excellent example of a person whose professional and personal interests are the same. Instead of working on weaknesses, she concentrates on the strengths to overcome our weaknesses. I had the opportunity to sit with her for a coaching session, and she definitely showed the bright light.”
Mrugesh Kulkarni

Cluster General Manager

I have taken the strengths coaching session with Payal. The 1h session was quite ground-breaking for me, as I discovered sides in me I didn't realize I had and sides in me I didn't realize were real strengths. I’m very happy to have to rethink my own personal strategies for the future and to reach my goals staying true to myself, my nature and my gifts.
Loic L

Payal has an incredible quality of connecting with you right away. She has managed to help me with stress management and general wellness in a fun, educative and easy-going manner. Highly recommend her for her capabilities as a life coach and her unique blended style of coaching.

“Just a simple hour-long session and Payal managed to help me tackle a huge hurdle that has been hindering my progression. She is resourceful and delivers clear direction based on each individual's strength profiles. Her dedication and willingness to make a difference in other people's life is admirable.”
Nelson Lim

Fund Accountant

I was job hopping for the longest time because of job dissatisfaction. I was lost and didn't know what I want in my career. Payal helped me realize the person I really am, which led me into a direction out of the maze I was in. She also gives very objective and useful insights on how we can leverage on our strengths. Thank you Payal, for helping me find the way.
Geraldine Chan

She continuously follows up between sessions to make sure I am using my learning effectively and am on the right track. Thanks, Payal for helping me through my downtimes.
