Executive Leadership Coach - ACC ICF

My practice is 100% 'coachee-client centric' as the conversation revolves around what they want, why they want, and how it can be achieved consciously. The coaching sessions come up with actions that the clients commit based on 'where' they are at the moment - the presence - makes all the difference and provides assurance. We co-create the Vision, Goals, Strategy Roadmap, KPIs, KRAs, milestones, and measurable outcomes. 

I practice the ICF Code of Ethics and Principles, and coach CXOs, Executives, and Young leaders to grow consciously, develop emotional intelligence and manage workplace conflicts. My signature leadership development program NISHTA helps to build Trust, Accountability, Resilience enhancing productivity, Conflict Management Skills, and Emotional Intelligence. They build a powerful personal brand by default. 

I focus on supporting my clients to solve inner conflicts that create ripple effort in their organizations. I use a mix of philosophies and science as my coaching approach. Such an approach helps my clients strengthen the stakeholder relationship amidst cultural differences, and effectively achieve the organizational objective.

Last week at the SHRM India Conference in New Delhi reminded me of something we often forget: HR is a living, breathing ecosystem powered by people who hold organisations together in ways most never see.

With the powerful keynote by Johnny C. Taylor, Jr., SHRM-SCP, at the #TajPalace came alive in a way only HR community can create. 

On one side, #CHRO roundtables were unpacking the toughest questions shaping the future of work. On the other conference halls, knowledge sessions, panel discussions were buzzing with fresh ideas and bold perspectives. 

But it was the spaces between the sessions that moved me the most.

As I walked quietly through the open #networking areas, I saw the real heartbeat of HR, young professionals laughing in pockets, huddled over laptops workingbon payrolls, someone troubleshooting a dashboard, another preparing reports that keep entire organisations running smoothly. 

Another aspect that stunned me was the numerous AI-centric HR tech solutions addressing various pain points. Excited for the future for sure. 

Throughout the two days, I found myself in deep conversations with HR leaders across industries and #GCCs about #leadershipgaps, the reality of managers under strain, and the #culturalshifts they are navigating. 

Many opened up about challenges they rarely say aloud. Some sought quick guidance; others wanted a sounding board. What struck me was how much #emotionallabour HR leaders and professionals carry, quietly and consistently. I also sought thoughts around #ExecutiveAlchemy365, my signature program with a few HR leaders and incorporated critical elements now. 

A world of its own, held up by individuals who show up with heart and hustle, day after day. An unmistakable mix of grit, warmth, pressure, camaraderie, and charisma. A lot of memories from my corporate days too. 

And then there was the joy of meeting my #SHEMantra tribe. My sisterhood, key strength behind many scaling up journeys, showed up with heart. Our conversations were filled with joy, laughter, blunt truths, and the kind of emotional safety that rarely exists outside real friendships. It reminded me why communities like this matter so deeply. 

I returned home with a renewed belief: when HR function and Tech meet at the intersection of empathy and growth, workplaces change. People rise. Cultures shift. Leaders evolve. 

A sense of satisfaction for the work I do - nurturing the critical elements of these shifts and evolvement. 

Grateful for every conversation, every connection, and every story shared. Inspired for the road ahead.

Amidst these challenges, growing, expanding, and scaling up the organization's business becomes much more cumbersome. Additionally, the global business scenario brings in many culturally diversified bottlenecks for the leaders to grow ahead.  Such pressure brings in many inner conflicts leading to interpersonal and organizational conflicts.

Executive Coach | The Power of Humanity + Intelligence™ in Leadership | Creator, Conflict Management 365, an Immersive Group Coaching Experience for CXOs and Senior Leaders

Last week, I had the opportunity to attend a deeply enriching Mentoring Summit and what an eye-opening experience it turned out to be. All thanks to Sobhitha Neelanath's LinkedIn post about her engagement as a speaker.

My intention going in was simple: to understand how mentoring systems currently function in India, especially across underprivileged and privileged student communities, and to explore the real challenges that mentors and organisations face on the ground.

There were three different tracks offering amazing learning opportunities.

Through three powerful hands-on, experiential workshops I chose to attend focused on:

🔹 Mentoring processes
🔹 Campaign strategies
🔹 Measuring social impact

Meera Venkatesan - you are an awesome facilitator and listener. Great meeting you.

I gained meaningful insights into what it truly takes to build an equitable, effective, and sustainable mentoring ecosystem.

Feeling inspired, informed, and more committed than ever to contributing to  development and inclusive learning pathways for the learners and seekers. 🌱✨

People see you as strong, decisive, and calm.

“You always stay composed.”
“You handle everything so well.”

And you nod… because that’s who you’ve learned to be.

But they don’t see the noise inside you — the overthinking, the emotional confusion, the nights you replay conversations you can’t talk about.

One part of you wants peace.
Another part can’t slow down.

Outside you look successful… inside you feel unsettled.

It’s not burnout.
It’s not weakness.

It’s emotional underflow — the hidden tension leaders carry silently.

That’s why I’m hosting a FREE masterclass for senior leaders — with very limited slots because this session goes deep.

Hidden Conflict & Emotional Underflow — Free Masterclass
A space where you don’t have to pretend.

A space to reconnect with clarity and calm.

Inside, you’ll understand:
• The biology of unspoken emotion
• How hidden conflict becomes trust capital

You’ll learn frameworks like:
• The 3-Signal Method
• The 5-Minute Underflow Check-In Ritual
…plus more bonuses.

And the outcome?
You walk away with:

• The ability to recognise your emotional patterns instantly
• New clarity in decision-making
• A calmer internal state, even in high-pressure situations
• Tools to lead without carrying invisible emotional weight
• A deeper sense of alignment between who you are and how you lead

This isn’t just insight — it’s inner stability you can feel.

DM me to reserve your seat before the limited slots fill.

Sometimes the bravest thing you can do… is admit you’re not always okay.

Have you heard of emotional underflow? 

The slow, quiet leak no one notices.

The absence of emotional energy.

Let me give you some subtle signs:

• You’re not upset… you’re just NOT feeling much.
• You show up, but NOT with presence.
• You respond, but WITHOUT connection.
• You lead, but SOMETHING feels thinner.

Underflow comes from all the “small things” we keep suppressing, the micro-stressors, unspoken frustrations, unresolved tensions, and emotions we tell ourselves are “too minor to matter.”

But they do matter.

Because emotional dryness doesn’t just affect performance, it affects influence, empathy, and how your team experiences you.

If you’ve been feeling a quiet numbness, a drop in curiosity, or a slow distancing from people or purpose… pause.

Ask yourself:

“What emotion did I suppress today because it felt too small or inconvenient?”

I am covering varied nuances and sharing techniques in my upcoming FREE Master Class. DM Me for more info.

“Suba, I’ve had coaching sessions with a few coaches already. Honestly, it felt like I’m just being interviewed. We talked, but nothing changed in my work or mindset. Is coaching supposed to be like this?”

I hear this more often than you’d think.

And it's why I believe coaching must go beyond conversation. The competencies from both ICF & EMCC stress on that.

Effective coaching drive deeper thinking & reflection, but the problem occurs when the client just stays there.

My role as an Executive Coach is to #partner with you to set clear #goals, define practical steps, and support you in taking and tracking #action.

Together, we’ll #reflect, recontract, and iterate, so each session moves you a step closer to meaningful outcomes.

I tell my clients quite often, "The clients will have 'aha' moments and 'greater insights' during the sessions, but the result and outcome has direct connection what action the client takes in-between sessions."

If you’re considering coaching, here are three questions to ask any coach:

1. How will you help me move from insights to real-world action?

2.What’s your approach to track and measure progress?

3.Can you share examples of clients who achieved tangible results?

Coaching is about momentum, change, #accountability and #ownership, but definitely doesnt stay 'only' as good conversation.

What other questions you will ask while hiring a coach?

You keep telling yourself, “I must be strong. I must be rational. I should not feel this much.”

But when you push your feelings down,  they don’t become small.

They become louder inside you.

Your mind feels messy.

Your heart feels heavy.

You get scared, confused, and tired for no reason.

But you don’t have to live like this anymore.

Your feelings are not wrong.

You just never learned how to understand them in a simple way.

In my FREE masterclass, I will help you:

• calm your mind without forcing emotions away
• understand what your feelings are really trying to say
• stop the inner chaos
• feel clear, light, and in control again

This is a free live session, and spots are limited because I want to guide you properly.

If you want peace inside you,
if you want clarity instead of confusion…

DM me to join this free masterclass.

Let me help you handle your inner world with ease.
