Shampi's CoachMantra
“I like to think of the potential of coaching in terms of a few words by William Shakespeare: We know what we are, but we may not know what we may be.”
“I like to think of the potential of coaching in terms of a few words by William Shakespeare: We know what we are, but we may not know what we may be.”
She describes her personal passion for coaching in the following words:
“Being a coach is a very gratifying experience, especially when my clients learn the science and art of Reflections and Results, using the processes observed during the coaching engagement…that’s when I feel that I have enabled a life skill, with a much longer shelf life than the coaching objective. As for me, it is a spiritual experience.
When I coach, the coaching skills that I practice of active listening, being non-judgmental, and intent focus on the ‘Who’ and what of the coachee, all the while building trust and intimacy; helps me to grow as a leader and is transformational. The goodwill and gratitude that I earn from my coaching clients fill my universe with positivity and warmth.”

“I truly enjoyed every coaching and mentoring session with Shampi and am extremely thankful for her patience and undivided attention all along.The conducive atmosphere created at the beginning of our coaching journey fostered an environment of trust and transparency and allowed me to lay bare all my thoughts and fears in an uninhibited manner. … What I liked best was that she was completely non-judgmental and allowed me time, space and complete freedom to work out all the complex and unresolved thoughts and ideas on my own. I believe there is far greater learning when one does this. Last but not the least her enthusiasm and verve is very infectious and inspiring and I can unashamedly claim that I shall emulate that to the fullest going forward.”
