"I was very glad and fortunate to be introduced to Maithilee as a career coach. I needed guidance and also overall feedback with respect to my career desire, the right effort, and the results. That is where Maithilee was able to provide reflection and guidance. Maithilee, first attempted to understand my inner nature, what makes me tick, and what aspects are my key strengths. Maithilee brainstormed and helped me focus more towards areas that are a natural fit. In some areas where I needed to improve my skills in terms of my desired career direction, Maithilee, coached me in accurately understanding the effects of proper nuanced communication in different situations. As such, Maithilee understands precisely our individual traits to bring out the most optimal approach towards our career goals. Maithilee’s efforts have no doubt set me in the right career direction. In hind sight, I wish I could have reached out to Maithilee many years ago. The result of the investment in working with Maithilee is the gaining of lifelong skills, attitude and philosophy that serves us well in many dimensions of our life. I strongly recommend Maithilee as career and life coach, and observe the difference for yourself."

Coach's Note: We each have our unique gifts and talents. But actualization of our abilities depends on how we master two critically essential skills:
1. Having a clear understanding of why others behave the way they behave.
2. Being able to communicate effectively with different kinds of people.
If we do not invest in developing these two skills, we are prone to get a push back from others, which slows us down.
When we start understanding how others think and perceive us, we can effectively navigate through the challenges along the way.
This client is a technically strong, brilliant individual who got acceleration on his journey when we brought the element of effective communication into the mix.
"Maithilee has been my coach for about a year and half now, and the results have been phenomenal. Maithilee is someone I like to call a 360 degree coach, who patiently listens to you and customizes coaching to the specific individual and context. For example, while my primary coaching was related to career and growth, I got very helpful and needed guidance in related areas of managing energy, health and financial planning. In the last year I have changed my role within the company to a more fulfilling one, lost over 10 pounds in weight and bought an investment property as well. I am lucky to have Maithilee as my coach and strongly recommend her to anyone looking for a career/life coach."

Coach's Note:This is a success story of a client who checked off many items on his five-year goal list in just one and a half years. When we get clarity on where we want to go, pen it down and work on it, we can often spot opportunities quickly and get much further than what we anticipated we could. Coaching helps to define the vision and refine it and instill the discipline to work on it. That is how top performers get top results. People often think that only top performers like executives can afford coaches, but the reality is that those who aspire to be a top performer can not risk being without a coach.

"I came to the USA only three years ago. Since, then I have had several life-changing transitions: newlywed, new mom, and restarting my career in a new country. It is almost like beginning your life over again. It isn't as easy! Although I have great family support and I am a therapist/life Coach myself .... lots of work had to be done. And, I am lucky to find Maithilee. I have achieved so much as a person with her support. She is a human first and then a Life Coach. This the most valuable because she relaxes you, becomes a friend, and then gives insights as a Coach, which are profound. I have gained priceless changes in every session!!! I don't feel judged ever. I feel stronger, and I tend to have a broader vision for my whole life and not just my career. I love my sessions with her. And certainly, I know even as a professional myself - she has truly set a great standard as a Life Coach. And getting coached by Maithilee is a boon for my life."

Coach's Note: Many smart creatives want to solve their problems without asking for outside intervention. It is because they have a high success rate of finding a solution on their own. However, not all situations can be solved by tugging at your own bootstraps. There are times when the stakes are high, and time is limited, seeking support from an expert is the smartest thing to do. Even a doctor needs to see a doctor, and a psychotherapist needs therapy, and a coach needs a coach! This testimony is an excellent example of how smart and highly knowledgeable person can still benefit from coaching.

"For as long as I can remember, people used to tell me that I overthink and that what I was thinking about or picking up on was unnecessary or just wrong. So for the longest time, I thought that the way my brain worked was off or behind and needed to be fixed to match everyone else. I used to have a lot of emotional turmoil that drained me in so many ways, and I did not have a way to escape. Since I was leaving for college soon, and there were some legitimate friend issues on the horizon, I realized I could continue living scared of having things be unideal. I thought to fix my thoughts to match others was a pretty clear goal, which is initially was I was hoping to achieve when my parents suggested I go to Mirror My Mind. Still, my experience with coach Maithilee was something that I could never have expected because, over the past months, I have gained such an eyeopening insight and appreciation for the way my mind works and for the world and all of its complexities. She has helped me see my emotions as a superpower and something that I can observe and not be a slave to the turmoil it used to cause. I realized that my initial goal was wrong because the way I view the world is just as good and can be the biggest tool in my belt because it is special in its way, even if there are some hardships that I need to learn to manage. I genuinely would not be as happy as I am without her because she was understanding of me and the world way beyond what most people and I thought it is. There is so much to explore inside our brains. It can never be boring, because it is empowering to understand yourself. I have never felt this level of self-assurance before, and I will forever be thankful to my coach for that."

Coach's note: When teenagers are transitioning into an independent, self-reliant adult, an essential foundation for a successful life is forming. During this time, any persistent self-doubt, outside criticism can delay or stun the process of self-reliance. This client of mine is a talented, sharp, and sweet-natured young girl, who is very people-oriented. She is in tune with what others think or feel. That is her core strength, and yet it can work against her if she gives more credibility to how others feel over how she feels. Sessions with her were deep soul searching ones where I coached her to understand why people think and behave in a way that they do and how to uphold healthy boundaries without being too soft or too hard.
As the sessions progressed, I see her transformed from being sad and confused to a happy and driven woman. It was gratifying for me to see this as her coach. Often in cases of persistent sadness, antidepressants are prescribed. But sometimes instead of drugs, the person is benefited by a mind mirror, a coach who can see and help with struggles within our minds. Kudos to her parents, who reached out to me for coaching her.

Call it a Bay Area Syndrome, everyone keeps entangling their mind, till it becomes overwhelming. Then, start reading books or listen videos to solve their problems, but it is very hard to follow practically.
Maithilee sheds clarity on the problem, identifies the solution and make you practice till you receive feedback. Some of these techniques are influential assertiveness and applied spirituality.
- Allan D, Software Architect and Spiritual Experimenter
I signed up with Maithilee as my career coach. Her experience in Software Engineering and management has been very helpful to better focus my career goals and guiding me in how I need to start approaching situations to level up. What makes Maithilee different from other mentors I've had is that she truly listens to understand your issue and thinks how to address the issue or remove obstacles in a way that is true to your personality and authentic to you. When the advice is true to your personality, it becomes easy to implement because you don't feel like a fake selling hyperbole and buzzwords. You are staying true to yourself and your values, but are not being held back by it. In addition to career advice, she has also given me insights on mindfulness, maintaining focus, and presence which I found to be quite useful. I strongly recommend Maithilee as a career/life coach.
- H. Mistry, Senior Software Engineer
Maithilee has been my coach for little over a month now, and I already see positive results. Maithilee approaches the situation holistically and customizes to the specific individual -- using her vast treasure trove of knowledge and skills across career, leadership and life. For example, while my primary coaching was related to career and growth, I also got very helpful guidance in related areas of managing energy, mindfulness, motivation and focus. I strongly recommend Maithilee to anyone looking for a career/ life coach. - P. Chamarthy. Manager, Data and Business Intelligence, Google.
"It has been phenomenal to have Maithilee as a life coach since the past few months. During the most difficult times when I was at my lowest, she provided a path forward. Her coaching has helped me gain control of my emotions and navigate through tough challenges that I faced from family, friends, and colleagues. There are very few people who have a major impact on your life and for me, Maithilee has been one of them. It has been a lifelong bond that has been created, which I would cherish forever. Her clear thinking and approach to resolving issues and the strategies to deal with the difficult situations are very well thought through. Thank you Maithilee." - A strong and determined soul who is reclaiming her life back.

"Being a mompreneur, kids, family, and company always came first. Whether I am with family or out at a business event. I wanted to be happy and confident and I realized dressing up myself gave me that extra boost that I needed. I was ok without any help but I was not able to look the way I wanted to look. I realized I needed someone who could teach me how to choose the right outfits and colors for myself. I met Maithilee for a free consultation and decided then and there to work with her to work on myself. She sat down to understand my needs and worries and immediately gave me a plan of action. She educated me about the colors and materials that would be good on me. We picked up few clothing and accessories on budget. Maithilee helped me on how I could mix and match the accessories so that I could wear them for any occasion at anytime and most importantly in less time. That’s it I was on my own in no time. I make better color and dress choices now. Investing in myself was the was the best decision I made in my life! Thanks to Maithilee for all her amazing advice." -Madhu Challa, Founder, Pretty Pokets. |
I just finished six sessions of life-coaching with Maithilee. I can honestly say I have never felt so motivated to reach my career and life goals as I do now. My favorite thing about Maithilee is her wisdom. She helped me to tackle my emotional and psychological blocks and to realize my full potential. I would recommend Maithilee's life coaching sessions to anyone interested in being the best possible version of themselves.- Abby Holmes.
Maithilee has a unique ability to understand everything that I have to say. Even though at times, I am confused by my thoughts, she streamlines my thoughts and aligns them in a direction towards a path which I need and which strongly resonates with me to take action. Having brainstorming sessions with Maithilee has enabled me. It gave the much-needed push in my career. Not just that, with the mind-maps that I created with her, uncovered many exciting possibilities for my future. Now she is helping me strategizing my career which is very exciting for me What makes me reach out to her for any advice or general interaction, are her unique abilities to understand and answer questions about almost anything. It feels as if she has been in the situations that I put in front of her and has successfully addressed them. At last, I must say that I always feel energized, limitless and motivated when I talk with her.- SW Professional who is exploring career options.
Maithilee had a significant impact on my early development as a people manager. She became that "external awareness" who could see right to the heart of my behaviors and tendencies that were holding me back. With this feedback, I began to change. I became less of a "know-it-all" and more of a listener. I began to trust my people to execute. In turn, I became that "external awareness" for my team - helping them to remove blockades to their own success.
Aside from career, Maithilee has influenced my spiritual, personal and parental development - sometimes through conversation and sometimes by example. Maithilee is able to reduce seemingly complex problems into a set of general principles. When she helps me solve a problem in one domain, I can apply those principles in almost any domain.
I often reach out to Maithilee for advice, first because I trust her good intentions for me and second because like a great therapist, she will guide my thinking into a deeper understanding of myself and my mental models. It can be very painful at times to confront my demons and her questions can draw you to dig deep into yourself... but I come out stronger for it each time.
-N. Kitagawa,ph.D., Software Manager.
Maithilee is the person who comes first to my mind if we want to discuss anything thing about my daughter. I often reach out to her for guidance on how to handle tricky situations with our child so that we can grow/enable our child and deepen our parent-child bond. Whenever we speak with her, we get a different perspective, which helps us make the right decisions. She has always been there guiding and supporting us making our parenting journey simpler and rewarding.
In addition to being a mother, I am an upcoming lawyer, and Maithilee is also guiding me with my career development. I had a first clarity session with her, and just that has brought immediate positive effect in my professional life. Her advice is helping me to grow and make better decisions. Because of her positive attitude, enthusiasm, empathetic nature and her passion for helping others, I am glad that I have Maithilee as my life and career coach. - G. Mutha.
