Keynotes, conversations and coaching that empower Indian professionals to stand as leaders inside the American organizational culture.
The Challenge
Smart Indian professionals often have big spirits, deep technical expertise and devoted hearts. Often, their well-meaning humility, preference for detail and deference to hierarchy set them at odds with American organizational culture. Consequently, the natural gifts they bring from their homeland often go unnoticed and untapped, causing dissatisfaction and inefficiency.
My Mission & Vision:
I champion rising and seasoned Indian professionals (IndoPros) to:
Build an authentic internal brand that gives them their due gravitas
Wield and yield their unique form of power that frees up creative energy
Contribute to corporate ecosystems whose currencies of success appear to be in opposition to their own values
Demonstrate a rare conversational intelligence that allows their insights to be adopted
Attain their desired and deserved promotions by applying their gifts
