Can you relate to any of this?

You’re a self starter.
You show up every day with focus and determination and a strong work ethic.
You’re achieving success and making an impact.

YET at the same time, you're feeling...

Vulnerable
You weigh decisions about how much to share about yourself – and when and how –
against how safe you feel in a given moment and the possible negative impact on your career.

Emotionally stretched
When you decide to share vulnerably, you summon courage and brace yourself for the unknowns that follow.

Hurt
You experience words or behavior that – either intentionally or unintentionally – are insensitive to your core truths.

Misunderstood and isolated
You hold back parts of yourself in order to feel safe and fit in, and you don’t feel seen for who you really are.

Exhausted and disconnected
The extra layers of it all weigh you down and drain your energy, and at some point you build walls to protect yourself.

It’s all understandable. I know, because I’ve lived it.
And I'm very happy to share that there's a better way....

Hi, I'm Shanti

Shanti Gold head shot

My success blueprint formed over time – from both missteps and wins – as I navigated the world of sales leadership and the unknowns of being a gay woman in the business world.

Working at top national and international companies, my proudest moments unfolded when I created spaces of connection, empowerment, mutual accountability, trust, fun – and authenticity.

It took me a while to get there. I first had to remove the walls I’d built between my personal and professional life. Once I opened up and shared my full truth, I entered a world of new possibilities – including higher levels of fulfillment, impact and success…

Shanti was referred to me at the beginning of what I knew would be a difficult period at work, and I was hesitant about taking on the commitment. I was "too busy" and "too stressed" to step outside of my comfort zone and coaching would be just another project to "deal with". Yet by the time of our second coaching session, it became clear that the better question would be how I could accomplish all I needed to without Shanti's coaching....

What I’ve learned through my work with Shanti is that I desired to live life through the lens of my 6-year old self. That little girl is bold, fearless, excited and capable. For a time, I forgot she existed. I buried her so deep I could only hear her whimper. But today, she is out and loud. Having Shanti in my life has been a blessing. She often said to me, that to seek clarity from within is the kindest thing you could do for yourself. Today, I believe that and know it to be true.

As a person that invests in Shanti's coaching services, I can speak from experience; She has the pedigree, which is a badge of accomplishment, educational achievement, and competency. More importantly, she possesses the intangible “it” that makes her stellar at the very human work of coaching. Shanti provides the safety, curiosity, intuition, gut instinct, kindness, authenticity, and wisdom that no coach can simply acquire…they must BE these latter things. I recommend Shanti as a coach for anyone wanting, needing, and READY for transformational change!
