Testimonials

“Anu has been invaluable in my search to find the right landing spot as I pivot careers. She is part strategist, part thought provoker, and part cheerleader. And she has a masterful knack for knowing when to invoke these various skills to bring out a clarity of purpose and desire that is often hard to pinpoint on your own. She has a way of repackaging your own, sometimes confusing, thoughts in a way that adds meaningful direction. I could go on and on with superlatives, but suffice it to say that if you are looking for someone to confide in and learn from about yourself, your professional skills, your career ambitions, and your potential, look no further than Anu.”

Lisa

Movie Star/Community Activist

“When identifying a single phrase to describe my experience with Anu, my mind inevitably concludes that she is “a blessing in disguise.” With all the mental stressors that come with transitioning from a comfortable family life to a passion work environment, Anu is the perfect psychological reinforcement with her optimistic vitality and consistent support. Her advice is tailored to my personal aspirations where she gives me one-on-one suggestions I am confident cannot be found elsewhere. She has provided me with all the resources, tactics, and application guidance I need to market myself and pursue an undeniably successful strategy. She has perfected her ability to form interpersonal connections with her clients, making them feel like her friend and constantly have them in mind. Working with Anu has provided me with an phenomenal opportunity, exposure, and increased knowledge on how to situate myself in a business I truly aspire for.”

“Anu is an incredibly talented, natural coach. Her values-centered guidance challenged me to think beyond just “the job search” and focus more on finding a way of life that would capitalize on my passions and strengths. Her knowledge of so many industries and her willingness to connect me to her network were particularly valuable to a new entrepreneur with a minimal network. Her uplifting, positive, and fun personality make her easy to open up to and wonderful to work with. She has not only been an amazing coach but also a caring mentor, and the strategies and lessons she has provided have inspired and motivated me to live a life in congruency with my values and passions.Anu is truly one-of-a-kind, and I would recommend her to anyone looking for an intuitive, sincere, and deeply passionate coach.”

Stefan

Entrepreneur

“Anu is incredibly intuitive, a wonderful listener, and highly pragmatic and has found her calling as a Life coach. In terms of pedigree, she is a successful business person who also happens to be a trained coaching professional/hypnotherapist. Anu assesses and offers a view of your situation quickly. She was extremely helpful in developing my business profile, my vision for my career, and for thinking through how to manage my current life situation while pursuing a new one. She sees the best in you and helps you to build a plan for how to put those strengths and passions to work in a career. Equal parts business and advisor, coach, and cheerleader, Anu helps you to bring your vision to life. I’m very grateful to have worked with her during a challenging period and highly recommend her services to anyone who is looking to transform their life.”

“Flexible. Intuitive. Responsive. Caring. From our first coaching session together, Anu helped me clarify my thoughts with insightful hypnosis sessions and identify what I needed to do to move forward. She helped me see the ‘light at the end of the tunnel’ by breaking down the steps I needed to take into bite-sized actions. I would highly recommend Anu as personal coach - in fact, this combination is what makes Katy such a wonderful coach and human being to work with. Her follow-through is remarkable, as is her steadfast positive attitude. I would definitely work with her again!

“I often tell friends and colleagues that Anu was like a divine messenger to me during a time of tough decision-making. Indeed, as an investment banker who was considering enrollment in divinity school, I needed advisers in my corner who could help me make sense of the path that had led me to that point, as well as increase my confidence that my dreams are both achievable and worthy of pursuing. Anu is so gifted at understanding her client’s purpose and charting out alternatives for them to decide upon. I leave every conversation feeling empowered and energized, knowing that Anu believes in me and that I have the tools to make good decisions about my career. All of this, in addition to her kindness and friendship, makes recommending Anu to others such a joy. I could not do so more highly.

“Anu was an invaluable source of advice, motivation and guidance throughout my tumultuous search for answers. She effectively identified my strengths and helped me to establish a personal brand and value proposition: two tools that gave me the confidence to assert my worth throughout my challenge period. Anu went above and beyond with me and simultaneously operated as a coach, mentor, friend and even therapist (on the really frustrating days!). She utilized her hypnosis expertise to sieve through low confidence/self-esteem issues using PLR approach. Her sizeable network to help me create meaningful connections and explore an array of new relationship opportunities. She was relentlessly positive, supportive and motivating from the beginning of my search until my final interview. Anu truly advocates for her clients and believes in their potential, which made all the difference in my ability to ultimately land a satisfying position.

“I worked with Anu over the course of several months, as I was assessing business options in my current situation – having just overcome cancer. I was considering board positions and thinking through my career path options at this new stage of life. Anu was supportive, radically candid, and provided healthy debate to my decision making. In addition, we worked on best methods of articulating strengths based on different roles I was exploring. I’m happy to say that I have recently been promoted and am actively engaged in conversations for a board position. Having Anu to vet out opportunities with an unbiased lens was incredibly valuable. I continue to look forward to sessions with Anu, as I continue to develop my new executive career.”

“Anu is able to leverage her vast expertise to quickly assess my business model and the unique value I bring to my clients. She was able to identify specific actionable tips and strategies that I am confident will deliver increased brand awareness and exponential growth to my already successful B2B sales coaching business. Anu is observant, reads people extremely well, and her sincerity in wanting to serve others is the real deal.”

““Anu has not only inspired me, but has taught me more valuable advice than any of my college professors have given me for finding a life purpose. She truly cares about you and believes in your abilities. Anu’s tenacious goal achieving affirmations and vibrant energy is contagious. She sparked my drive and ambition to find the right life-path for me!”

““As a Senior in college seeking to land my first full-time job while also juggling a heavy academic course load, losing my father to cancer and the urgent job search process for me was initially overwhelming and riddled with uncertainty. Working with Anu changed all of that, as her coaching not only allowed me to organize the focus of my career search, but pursue an efficient plan of action uniquely tailored to my life situation. Anu was an invaluable asset to me to overcome stress and anxiety issues doe to the sudden loss of parent and in overcoming financial issues. She even coached me many late nights for my successful application process towards my final interviews, and I can say with certainty that I would not have landed my dream job without her guidance.”

“What I found most helpful about Anu coaching was her ability to really “see me”—or maybe I should say, see the real me! I feel like Anu helped free the soul and potential fully in me. Like most women, so much of what I do at work and at home is worthwhile but invisible and fragmented. Working with Anu helped me value what I do and gave me the courage to do things in a bigger, more visible way. Thank you Anu for pushing me into my “big leap”!

“Anu is a gifted listener. It’s more than her empathy and ability to focus on someone else; she is uniquely able to distill what she has heard into valuable, credible insight. Her ability to do that distinguishes her from all other coaches. Anu has the smarts, drive, education and experience foundation essential when communicating with executives. I believe that Anu was meant to be a life-coach. I find myself often thinking about her words, remembering them and acting upon them. I recommend Anu highly as very gifted, sensitive and focussed coach.”
