Coaching Testimonials

“Sweta came from a similar journey as a high performing child of immigrants, so right from the start I knew she could really understand me and my path as an "insecure overachiever." My sessions with her allowed me to step out of my daily grind and reflect in ways I had never considered before. I now feel so clear about the value I bring in my daily work and life, and in the values I am anchored in. I can articulate them and can use them as a measure to guide my decisions, big and small. My work and life will probably always be busy and intense, but I now can see things differently, anchored in my own power and sense of balance. It's been liberating to see the true value I bring to the world and no longer measure it only by productivity or "deliverables," like I have done my whole life.”

“Dr. Sweta is incredibly skilled at working with ambitious high-achievers. She helped me develop repeatable frameworks and tools to operate on an even higher level in both my professional and personal life; I now have a roadmap for more graciously and serenely handling even the busiest seasons of life without burning out. I highly recommend working with Dr. Sweta, especially if you are in a season of growth and looking for support to unlock new levels of leadership and intentionality during challenging times.”

“Working with Dr. Sweta was helpful on many levels. Her coaching went deep on both mindset and practical application. She helped me identify my own leadership qualities while navigating my many roles as a VC manager. Through the coaching process, I felt more confident and relaxed with hard decisions, difficult conversations and acknowledging the right support I need on my team to help me do my best work.”

“Working with Sweta over several months, I learned to understand and recognize the difference between my core personal values and my aspirational values. Once I realized the difference, I developed the courage to operate in a more authentic way and start making decisions based on my genuine core values. I experienced how this internal shift in me contributed to transforming my external circumstances and outcomes. Having a safe space to share authentically helps to understand them better and resolve challenges. Sweta is the work friend you want to have- where you can share your concerns, interpretations, and thought processes.”

“Coaching with Dr. Sweta on my leadership development was really impactful. During our sessions she shared stories, gave examples and provided worksheets that served as tactical framework and plans to help me make significant changes in my personal journey. She is incredibly talented in taking unstructured thoughts and ideas and putting them into words that helped me pinpoint my specific strengths and areas to work on. In a short period of time, I gained a lot of self-awareness and have tangible tools to help me optimize my role as a General Partner in venture capital.”

“Working with Dr. Sweta, I felt heard and understood and was encouraged to explore alternative ways of thinking. Identifying my values was life changing. I never thought of my outlook as a way to align with my values- and now I make sure I am always thinking from that understanding. What are my values? How do I make sure I am living my values? How do my frustrations come from a place of not aligning with values? Working with a coach is a great way to see what you are missing- it could be something small or something big, but having an objective party to see and encourage you, can be the missing link you need to reach your potential!”

“As a longstanding leader at an institution that was going through a big organizational shift, I found myself at a crossroads. I was uncertain of how to move forward and make the best decisions for myself, the institution, and my family. I reached out to Sweta for some guidance, and through our coaching journey, I gained insight and self-awareness about my passion and values and learned how to ignite a new level of authentic leadership and influence in my life. I am grateful for the tools she provided which I use as a compass to keep me focused as I support a new greater vision for my institution and profession.”

“When choosing a coach to work with, it's all about fit. I opted to work with Dr. Sweta because of her focus on life design and architecting a way to truly have it all (with "all" defined as whatever is important to you). My personal belief is that life design is a foundational element to succeeding in business. I am focusing on life and business holistically, and Dr. Sweta has been a true pleasure to work with!! We are currently exploring how I should be spending my time in a way that resonates authentically and how I can reframe and get rid of the "shoulds" in my life that are not serving my greatest good.”

“Dr. Sweta got who I was and what I stood for so quickly. With her support, I was able to define important values and feel resourced, not just resourceful.“

“I first learned of Dr. Sweta during a career Summit. I connected with her on LinkedIn, then attended one of her workshops on creating work you love before working with her as a coach. At every touch point, I felt seen and heard. Dr. Sweta has empowered me to co-create (with The Creator) the life I desire from the beginning of my business-ownership journey rather than waiting until I feel like I have it all together. She has been an integral part in learning how to own my brilliance and has intentionally and consistently pointed out where I shine. She has an incredible heart, and I am so grateful to have met her and be able to work with her.”

“I met Dr. Sweta through the Recast Capital VC fund manager program where they provided us executive coaches during our cohort duration and have worked with her for 9 months. I connected with her instantly given her warm demeanor and holistic lens. Her coaching style was very bespoke based on my needs and she provided organization and prioritization processes and frameworks when I needed it. I also appreciated that she was available to connect with me outside of our call times on whatsapp, giving me the ability to communicate and get support in real time. I consider Dr. Sweta to be a dear friend now and someone that I would have over for dinner at my house. “

“Sweta created a safe space for me to be fully who I am and she has a special way of gently encouraging me to grow into my full potential. I find myself calling upon her wisdom on a daily basis now. I came to the realization that I wouldn’t be able to tap into my deeper potential without some help.
I’ve been able to go through big expansions at work and changes in my home and have cultivated the capacity to not take over-responsibility. This has given me time and energy to focus on my creative desires.”
Susan Schroeder, Director of Marketing/Writer

“Dr. Sweta is an authentic, empowering coach who listens attentively and holds a safe space for people around her. I had the opportunity to work with Dr. Sweta in a group coaching programme where Dr. Sweta held a safe space for our community and facilitated conversations around life and leadership principles. It was in this programme that I discovered the importance of owning my voice and story, so that I can author my life’s narrative with more confidence. Since then, I’ve also made it my mission to help others to own their voices. I am grateful for the gift of meeting Dr. Sweta.”
Shennon Ho, Marketing Director

“We had originally set my goal for coaching as trusting myself—and I think I skipped the step about knowing myself. Working with Dr. Sweta was exactly what I needed to be willing to think about things in a more holistic way. I am using this as a tool to better validate and affirm who I have always been afraid to be. I’ve been able to authentically move forward in my work with more power and sustainability.”
Samantha Crocket, Project Coordinator

“Dr. Sweta helped me advocate for myself without drama and with powerful language during an emotionally sensitive time. I felt respect for myself and from others in a way I haven’t in the past.”

"While working with Dr Sweta I really went much more in depth to explore more of myself, and bring it forth in my work and life. Dr Sweta guides you through the process in a very personal and loving way. She has a lot of experience has made many great leaps in her life. I thank Dr Sweta for such a great coaching process. I strongly recommend Dr. Sweta as a coach."

"Sweta exudes an enthusiasm for life that is contagious. Although her words are reverent, it's the way she lives her life that is most inspiring. It is evident when you are in Sweta's presence that she lives her message. Sweta’s ability to blend multiple realms, from the scientific to the metaphysical, is what makes her coaching sublime. After a short time in Sweta's presence, I reclaimed my personal power, viewed the world with a bit more childlike wonder and got clear on the direction I wanted to take my professional life."
Robin Giacomo, Founder of Grow with Robin

“During my initial 4 month program with Sweta an opportunity arose and she provided the guidance and support to help me evaluate, recognize, and understand whether and how I could make it work. I up-leveled to a leadership/executive level position and I couldn’t be more excited! Sweta’s “secret sauce” is combining energy, intuition, broad expertise and science-backed practices have proven great outcome, for me.”

"When I met with Sweta for my VIP program, I knew what I wanted to do in my creative and spiritual life, but I felt like I was looking through an old eye prescription. I could see the words but I couldn't read them. Sweta listened. She clarified and guided. She asked questions that made me explore my own intentions. She provided anecdotes and advice that made me feel connected to a greater purpose. At the end of our sessions, I felt renewed and energized as if I had been on a personal retreat at a fancy spa instead of sitting in my own living room. The results have continued even months after my retreat. I have had the courage to pitch writing opportunities without hesitation, I can identify what is a hell yes as a cure to shiny object syndrome and I continue to receive financial wins for sharing my gifts in it's highest form."

“I wanted to work on being more courageous, feel more confident, and get clear about what I really want from life and my career. Working with Sweta is like working with a best friend that knows you really well and has a desire to see you at your best. When I recently had to make an important career decision, I had the confidence to trust my instincts more than ever before.”

"Dr. Sweta helped me realize the connection between my career self and regular self and to see they are the same. I am now better able to control the context in which I apply my trades. I didn’t think I would have made so much progress in a short time. The exercises were wonderful, practical and useful. I am now more assertive and feel unity in my purpose by being less fearful and more confident in my craft."

"Dr. Sweta really has a gift when it comes to connecting with people. After just our second meeting, she was able to put into words what I was struggling to explain. Feeling understood and heard was the first step I needed. Dr. Sweta was able to recognize areas that I needed to nurture in myself faster than any therapist I saw. I feel sincerely grateful I found her."
