What I brought to her was a dense, multi-layered challenge with emotional and professional threads intertwined. She helped me zoom out, reconnect with long-term goals, and build clarity around what truly matters. Together, we worked on boundary-setting, prioritization, and creating a framework to differentiate between non-negotiables, nice-to-haves, and definite no-gos at work.

If I had to sum up my coaching experience in three words: clarifying, grounding, transformative. I feel lucky to have crossed paths with Shirisha at just the right time. The shift in how I approach work—and myself—is already playing out in visible, meaningful ways.

There are always phases in one’s career when things feel off-track. In those moments, don’t wing it. 

Reach out to Shirisha who can help you navigate with insight, empathy, and precision.

Shirisha is a unique and brilliant thinker. I’ve spent over 20 years in corporate work environments and am very familiar with traditional goal setting strategies. She has created a goal setting strategy that is not just ‘saner’ than traditional goal setting strategies, but more effective. 

In three 1:1 sessions I went from being stuck on a creative project that I desperately wanted to complete, but couldn’t understand how I could pick it up again, to finding myself working on it every day with renewed momentum.

I feel so much more relaxed about my goal, thanks to Shirisha’s ability to ask the right questions to get me to my very personalised ‘one thing to do’.

She is incredibly compassionate, yet realistic and grounded in her communication style.

I highly recommend Shirisha for 1:1 coaching to anyone looking for help with regaining momentum on goals they thought they’d lost.

The idea of seeking coaching itself was initially a hurdle. I had never considered it before and had reservations about opening up to someone. Additionally, finding the right coach felt daunting.

As a result of working with Shirisha, I experienced a profound shift in my mindset. I became more optimistic, gained better control over my actions and decisions, and developed a greater sense of empowerment. I also learned to appreciate the natural rhythms of life and to view challenges within the context of a larger plan.

The safe space Shirisha created for sharing was invaluable. Her ability to actively listen and gently guide me towards my own solutions was incredibly helpful. 

Shirisha’s guidance has been transformative. She provides a safe and supportive environment for self-discovery and growth. Her approach is gentle yet effective, and she expertly facilitates the process of finding your own solutions.

If you’re hesitant about seeking coaching or unsure if it’s right for you, I encourage you to give it a try. The experience can be incredibly rewarding, and Shirisha is an excellent guide on that journey.

I was having trouble prioritizing my time, managing my workload, and figuring out how to structure my days so I could actually focus on what matters—both at work and personally. I came into the session feeling stuck, but left with so much clarity.

What really stood out was how helpful it was to talk things through with Siri. Her questions, feedback, and ability to hold space helped me unpack where I was getting emotionally stuck. I now have a clearer understanding of the root issues and—most importantly—tangible next steps I can actually follow through on.

I wasn’t sure what to expect going in, but I came out with practical tools and a renewed sense of direction. I feel more confident in how I approach my work and goals. I’d highly recommend Siri and her coaching to anyone looking for real progress and thoughtful support.”

I reached out to Siri more than two years ago. I was feeling stuck at the time. I had benefited somewhat from resources on pay negotiation, time management, communication, etc. But working on my own, improvements in these areas had never added up to any big perspective shift for me.

In our sessions, Siri connected with my concerns with patience and empathy. She didn’t hurry me or give me pre-packaged, templatized solutions, just asked simple relevant questions that deeped reflection and led to unexpected answers. 

Each session took its own organic course and brought up insights or catalyzed an action I wasn’t taking. 

She has been a no-nonsense coach, helping me regain self-trust and navigate big changes.

Shirisha was my mentor, guide, well wisher, advisor and my manager as well. Being my manager I had the unique opportunity to be guided by her practical skills, principles and experiential learnings which I was able to apply and make my approach towards life and work better. 

All of her teachings were practical, reflective, where subjects like mindfulness, non violent communication had a clear structured delivery methodology. This helped me in implementing many of these teachings easy.

Her gentle way of putting sensitive things into perspective was an eye opener to me on how to become a better communicator.

I wanted to share this so that she can make a difference in someone else’s life as she has done to mine.
