For as long as I can remember, I’ve strived to live a meaningful, purpose driven, growth oriented life. These are not only my core values but also the highlight of my past 17+ years of career journey.
Growing up in a middle class background, what success meant to me was getting top grades in school and landing a high profile job in a prestigious MNC. And, it did happen. Even before I finished my MBA, I had secured a job at Procter & Gamble, a Fortune 50 company.
I worked there for 9+ years, managing billion dollar brands, traveling around the world, experiencing tremendous learning and growth, extensive exposure, accountability and leading a huge business with multiple geographies/teams.
Barring the usual ups and downs of the corporate world, my overall feeling was, well, this is it. I’m sorted. Until the nagging inner voice of ‘is this truly what I want in life?’ crept in. My work had stopped giving me the same meaning as it used to before, it had started to feel inauthentic. I realized that with every incremental dollar I was earning, I wasn’t buying more happiness. My definition of success had evolved.
And so, I stepped back to get to know myself better, to find my own WHY.
I’ve always had this deep desire of empowering people, enabling them to see who they are and achieve what they’re capable of. Without realizing, I was coaching, leading, mentoring people all along in my work and life.
With an innate drive for entrepreneurship and a ton of discovery work with my coach training, I went onto become a professional, certified career coach and organizational consultant.
Unwind The Grind was founded eight years ago from a place of passion and purpose. I work with Millennials and Gen Z stuck at a crossroads looking to make a meaningful, purposeful career change. I help them find their WHY, package and brand themselves to land the right job!
I enable organizations to engage their millennial employees and build their leadership capabilities.
Was it easy quitting that prestigious job and hefty paycheck? Not really, but then as they say, ‘nothing of great significance is ever achieved by playing it safe’.
My work is for the world rather than for me. I serve others through the best of what the universe has equipped me with. Unlocking people’s talents, empowering their beliefs, enabling them to connect with themselves and achieve what they’re so capable of, are gifts that I’m here to share.
Because in truly serving others, we are also served. In giving, we receive.
