Transformative Coaching: Insights from 35 Years with Executives

Anjali Patil

Founder and Director

Linkedin
I bring to coaching the experience and expertise accumulated over the course of a thirty-five-year long corporate career with three global financial services powerhouses as well as with a marquee creative agency revered for story-telling.

When you have worked with fifty CEOs, scores of other C-suite executives and over a hundred senior bankers in storied institutions, you gain deep insights about the challenges of being in high-stakes, high pressure situations. Simply put, I have been there and know what it feels like. What I learnt informs my coaching and helps establish a more empathetic connection with my executive coaching clients.

Transformative Leadership Coaching

During my corporate career, I have been a coach-manager to my teams and have also had the opportunity to be a mentor to many others. It was through these experiences that I came to believe in the power of coaching. It was fascinating to witness those talented individuals, held back by their own limiting beliefs, gradually transform into confident executives. And it was all because someone believed in their ambitions and their potential and supported them actively in reaching for their dreams.

I took my interest a step further by becoming a certified coach in 2020 and then, an Accredited Coach (ACC) with the International Coaching Federation. I have since coached clients globally across sectors that include financial services, banking, fintech, technology and not-for-profit. I hold a degree in Psychology and have completed a course with the Institute of Narrative Therapy, U.K.

Transformative Coaching Through Storytelling

It was the love of the written word and story-telling that brought me to a career in corporate communications. And over the decades, my work, in one form or the other, has nurtured my love of the narrative. I have seen the far-reaching impact of powerfully told stories. It is what led me to choose the narrative approach and to bring story to my coaching practice.

I look forward to working with you to find and bring to light your preferred stories that will set you on the path to a fulfilling life.

In My Clients’ Words

In just six sessions, Anjali supported me to make significant progress on the issues I was struggling with and helped me achieve greater clarity on my longer-term goals. Anjali’s exceptional coaching skills combined with her wisdom and experience made these sessions transformative.

Senior Leader, Social Sector India and UK

I really enjoyed the discussions and the different perspectives, which helped me to see things from a more positive and constructive angle.

Analyst, Banking Singapore

Throughout our sessions, Anjali was a keen listener and had the remarkable ability to cut through the noise, distilling my often time complex situation to hone in on the essential points. She was clear-eyed and consistent with her coaching approach, providing the necessary third-party objectivity, and a unique balance of flexibility and structure that I needed to guide me in achieving my goals. Equally, she was patient, dependable and compassionate.

Communications Leader, Fintech Singapore

Many thanks for all the coaching sessions as these have helped me a lot in taking the right decision for my path ahead and in shaping up my personality.

Risk professional, Banking India

At a fundamental level, coaching sessions with Anjali provided me the structure and framework to evaluate the areas I wanted to work on for my personal and professional growth. I was going through a critical phase in my career. Anjali was methodical, patient and guided me to reflect holistically, think of the action items, plan and prepare better for important conversations and outcomes. I really look forward to her coaching sessions and enjoy her professional yet friendly and non-judgemental approach.

Director – Strategy, Development Sector, India

I had the good fortune of being able to work with Anjali as a coach during a pivotal time in my life. I was considering a life-altering move to another state, grieving from a recent traumatic personal matter, and feeling stuck in my professional life. Anjali gracefully held space for each of these complex and interwoven challenges and helped me look at my experiences through new eyes. I felt a genuine connection with her immediately and our appointments always left me feeling both grounded and energized. Anjali helped me foster an unwavering sense of self-worth and find the courage I needed to make difficult decisions.

Marketing Leader, Non-profit United States

What stood out the most was Anjali’s ability to simplify situations that were extremely complex and daunting in my mind and to put them into perspective with clear action points to work upon. Her insightful questions and patient hearing created a supportive environment for me to openly share my thoughts and explore my goals and challenges. Anjali is able to connect pieces of information and experiences discussed in various sessions and identify the core issue. She is dedicated and is equally invested in your journey. I am truly grateful for the professional and personal growth that she has helped me achieve.

Product Head, Retail Financial Services India

When I started a new role in a new industry, I suffered from imposter syndrome. I had to adjust to a new working environment. I needed help increasing my confidence, developing leadership skills and fulfilling myself at work and beyond. Anjali was a tremendously professional coach who helped me through that challenging period. Thanks to her exceptional ethics, we quickly built mutual trust. In her toolkit, Anjali found the right techniques to help me develop assertiveness and guided me to learn self-belief. Coaching with Anjali was a truly transformative journey. It wasn’t easy, as it required me to work a lot on myself and push my own boundaries. Anjali’s support allowed me to grow, become better at work, and feel more professionally and personally accomplished.
