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 LGBTQ+ female founder/professional it is empowering to be coached by someone who understands my identity, uplifts my ideas and leads me to look inward…. It is her gift to listen, strategically question and challenge with ease & comfort. I am grateful for the opportunity to be coached by Shanti as she displays high levels of compassion, empathy and humanity through Grow with a Pro. I have made major decisions, found clarity in professional confusion and connected with myself deeper…

Shanti genuinely cares about your success and is the Sage voice personified - full of empathy and without any judgment. In every session, I felt like she captured the essence of my emotions and patiently re-directed them in a positive manner, enabling me to over-write my negative narratives with positive ones. She is a great coach and I cannot recommend her highly enough!

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!

Shanti has tremendous education, experience, skills and heart....She uses effective Coaching & Leadership skills to help team members not only uncover their potential but learn how to strategically apply potential to become successful. Shanti creates space that welcomes authenticity, transparency and vulnerablity....Her impact is unforgettable!

Shanti’s innate ability to recognize individuals' strengths, bridge gaps, and bring out the best in them is truly remarkable. Shanti's empathetic coaching style, strategic thinking, and unwavering commitment to excellence have consistently inspired personal and professional growth…. I am grateful for the opportunity to have worked with Shanti and can attest to the profound impact she has made on my development.

Shout out to the power of Shanti Joy Gold who always encourages others around her to become an enhanced version of themselves, should they choose to do so.

Shanti is very smart and strategic, finding innovative approaches to her work and coaching others to achieve at their full potential.
