I work with people who are seeking clarity and confidence to create change in their professional lives. 

“I came to coaching from a career in dispute resolution - as a lawyer and a mediator. I see coaching as a process that resolves the conflict between who you are being and who you want to be.

We all deserve a chance to be who we want to be.”

Whether you are already a leader or want to be one soon, we can work together to identify your values, craft your leadership vision and set you up for success.

What people who’ve worked with me have to say…

  • I was struggling with the impending dissolution of my federal agency and trying to figure out where to go next while grieving the long career I thought I would have with my agency and team. She helped guide me to explore my preferences, develop my goals, and move towards them. I would absolutely recommend that anyone experiencing a career or life transition work with Vidya. She is very intentional in her work and is amazing at listening carefully and asking the right questions to help you find your path forward.

  • Vidya has a beautifully calm style of coaching yet manages to ask challenging and thought-provoking questions in a way that makes you feel guided and supported. Her experience working with leaders was evident when I worked with her to prepare for a new leadership role. Our sessions created clarity on the ambitions I had for the role and helped me to focus on strategies to not only prepare for my first 90 days but also give me the confidence that I would add value through my approach and experience. I think she is one of the most inspiring coaches I’ve encountered, and I would recommend her services to any organisation wanting to invest in its existing and emerging leadership.

  • At a crucial crossroads in my professional life, transitioning from banking to entrepreneurship, I’ve found a valuable partnership in Vidya’s coaching. She is warm yet direct, she gives me space yet remains acutely perceptive, she explores deeply yet always keeps a strong focus on actionable steps. During this pivotal time, her coaching has truly helped me gain clarity in my thoughts and effectiveness in my actions.

  • Vidya is warm and easy to talk to and I found her coaching style to be really empowering and patient. She gave me space to really reflect in a non-judgmental way on the issues I was grappling with. I left with a clear sense of next steps and her simple but profound questions had me reflecting long after our session had finished. I would recommend Vidya's coaching services without hesitation to anyone looking to get to the bottom of an issue and to developing a clear plan for starting to address it.

  • Coach Vidya skillfully identified patterns of thinking and behavior I hadn’t been aware of. She guided me into focusing on vision, then taking action. She is warm, kind, positive, and supportive.

  • Vidya has a warm and supportive coaching style which made me feel comfortable straight away. Her use of insightful questions enabled me to really reflect in a way I hadn't before on where I am in my career, and to get to a position where I could develop some definitive action points on where to next.
