Coaching is a future-focused, goal-oriented process that emphasizes actionable strategies for personal and professional growth.

  • Coaching vs. Therapy: While therapy explores past experiences for emotional healing, coaching is dedicated to setting and achieving future goals.
  • Coaching vs. Mentoring: Instead of providing direct advice, our coaching approach empowers you to discover your own solutions and develop effective strategies for success.

Each personalized session is tailored to your goals. We’ll identify challenges—like office politics or self-doubt—set objectives, and use proven strategies to help you manage work pressure and build confidence. Shailaja Shankar’s approach ensures you leave each session with actionable steps to drive career growth.

Coaching programs typically range from 8 to 12 sessions, depending on your goals and the program you choose. During the initial discovery session, a timeline that works best for you is set.

A discovery session is a completely free, no-strings-attached meeting that helps you see the potential benefits of coaching. During our time together, we'll explore your current challenges and goals, discuss what you hope to achieve through coaching, and give you the chance to ask any questions about my approach. This session is designed to help you determine if we're a great fit for working together—a key first step toward gaining clarity and sparking transformation.

Absolutely. Everything discussed during our sessions is completely confidential, creating a safe space for you to share openly and honestly.

As your coach, my role is to guide, empower, and support you in achieving your goals. However, there are a few things I don’t do:

• Provide Therapy or Counseling: Coaching focuses on future goals and actionable strategies
rather than addressing past trauma or deep emotional healing.
• Offer Direct Advice or Solutions: Instead of telling you what to do, I help you uncover your own
answers and build strategies tailored to your unique needs.
• Guarantee Instant Results: Coaching is a collaborative process that requires time, effort, and
commitment from both of us. While I provide the tools and guidance, success depends on your dedication to the journey.

By clarifying what I don’t do, my aim is to set realistic expectations and ensure that coaching aligns with your needs.

Clients typically experience transformative outcomes such as boosted confidence in high-stakes meetings, a refined ability to navigate office politics with integrity, and reduced workplace anxiety. They gain a clearer strategic vision for their professional journey, often leading to promotions, successful salary negotiations, and more fulfilling relationships at work—all within just six months of coaching. The skills we build together foster lasting career resilience, empowering you to continually advance professionally while nurturing personal well-being, no matter the external challenges. For example, clients like Rohan, a product manager, reported a 40% reduction in stress and secured a promotion within six months.
