CLARITY COACHING
Clarity is power.
The more clear you are about what you want, the more likely you are to achieve it. - Billy Cox.
Clarity is the first step to achieving your goals. When we do not have clarity in what we are trying to achieve, we tend to procrastinate. We go around in circles and feel overwhelmed and sometimes give up on our goals. But once we have clarity on the end result or what we want to achieve we can figure out a way to get there. As Tony Robbins says, "Focus on outcomes and not activities".
Through a single coaching session, I can help you gain clarity on the outcome you truly desire and what is holding you back from achieving it. Once you have the clarity you will find it easy to make a step by step plan to achieve your goals.
This is for you if:
- You are seeking clarity on identifying your purpose.
- Seeking clarity in your career choices or career goals
- You are seeking clarity on what is holding you back from creating the life and career you desire.
- If you are preparing to return to work after a break and seeking clarity on how to prepare yourself. I can assist with Cv writing, job interview preperation.
- Clarity on what you would like your ideal day to be - new schedule & maintaining work-life balance and so on. Create an ideal weekly schedule, prioritise tasks and so on.
- Clarity on how to manage flexible working/ WFH.
Here, I use my experiences as a recruiter combined with my life coaching skills to help you take the first steps to returning to work successfully and stress free.
Clarity is very personal and different for every person. Most of us have goals or dreams which seem unattainable and so they do not see the light of day. The truth is once we put in the time to get clarity on what we truly desire, we realise that the goals feel more achievable. With my one-off clarity coaching session, I will help you gain clarity in any one area of your life/career &/ or educational aspirations that you need to create the future you want.
HOW WE WILL WORK TOGETHER
I specialise in 1:1 coaching sessions that are conducted over the phone or zoom.
Our first meeting will be a 30min (free) discovery call for me to get an understanding of your goals and obstacles in your path. During this time I will also tell you about my process and what you can expect from our coaching sessions.
By the end of the session I will customise a program that feels right for you. You will be able to choose between my different programs:
-
Career growth navigator for women leaders - Achieve your career goals
-
Balance & Progress Coaching for working women and mothers - Balance and harmony in your work and personal life
-
Career comeback : Return to work coaching for women - Return to work after a break, age or skills no barrier.
-
Clarity coaching - Get clarity on your goals & what is holding you back.
Some of the ways I evoke awareness, breakthroughs and a shift in mindset for my clients, is as follows:

Identify your values, passions & purpose in life.

Clarity on why you are feeling stuck.

My primary role as your coach will be to actively listen and ask you questions to guide you towards developing a deeper awareness of your challenges, offering fresh perspectives and potential breakthroughs. I will then partner you to create a plan and put into action the breakthrough or mindset shift you have achieved. Together we cultivate a sense of trust in your own instincts & empower you to make confident decisions every time.
TESTIMONIALS
"Sanjukta is such a talented coach. As a recovering procrastinator, and perfectionist with FoMo Sanjukta has had her hands full with me. She has helped me uncover my limited beliefs on both a subconscious and conscious level. This has helped me to discover what my role has been in me not reaching my goals. With her clever, and yet soothing way of coaching she always manages to circle back to the initial issue of matter. I have learned to understand myself better and therefore become an aware asset in my own life as I continue to check more goals off my bucket list.
Anyone that gets an opportunity to work with Sanjukta, should consider themselves blessed and a step closer to their breakthrough."
"I have been working with Sanjukta for the past month or so. From our first meeting, I immediately felt at ease and comfortable and we connected really well. Her style is very calming and she really listened and understood my challenges Over the weeks we worked together, through her coaching, i was able to identify mores specifically where i was being held back in my goals and what i want to achieve. She worked with me on looking at ways we can change these beliefs and stories i have been subconsciously telling myself to enable me to move forward with new beliefs. Together we identified several action steps that i can start to take to support me on my journey. I'm very grateful for the questions she asked and insights she has given that has allowed me to reflect on where I'm at and what i can do to move forward."

I just wanted to thank you for having me on your coaching books. You are doing an amazing job because it's finally hitting home with me. Your sessions are to the point and focused on the problems we need to tackle yet you leave a room for any necessary topics which bug me last minute. The questions and method you use is the most efficient in my struggle to get better and make me change my thinking and behaviour for the ones I need to progress.
Thank you for your patience, wisdom and understanding. You make me see my world in brighter colours. Best Wishes.
Sanjukta played a salient role during a key transition point in my career and I would recommend her as a force to help shape and enable you to springboard onto the next stages of your professional life. She has calm and supportive demeanor, and I know from experience, also has a strong desire to see women prosper.

ABOUT ME
Welcome to my site! Let me share a bit about myself and why I am here.
As a working women and a mum I understand the challenges we face firsthand when it comes to balancing our careers and personal lives. From growing up in Mumbai to now residing in London with my amazing husband and 12 year old daughter I have had a journey filled with diverse experiences. I began my career in advertising 20 years back and then when I returned from my maternity break, I transitioned to recruiting for the advertising & marketing industry. I had the opportunity to collaborate with top professionals worldwide. In fact, through living in multiple cities (Mumbai, Bangalore, Dubai & London) across 3 different countries I have built valuable professional relationships spanning various markets and industries globally.
And I noticed something;
Amidst our unique paths, there is one thing that unites us women; Our innate desire to prove ourselves. We're experts at juggling multiple tasks, embracing control, and hesitating to ask for help. We are conditioned to take on too much and try to balance it all. We do not set boundaries. We doubt ourselves. We neglect self-care and personal growth. We do not take the time to get clarity on what we truly want. The result? We feel trapped in the constant hustle, overwhelmed, overworked, low in confidence and one step away from burnout. We yearn to make progress towards our dreams and goals, but somehow things remain unfinished, leaving us unsatisfied and stuck.
These struggles become even more pronounced when we enter motherhood. We are conditioned to believe that as women if we do not do it all ourselves no one else will, we have to sacrifice, and we need to put other's needs before our own. We're left wondering if we have to choose between our personal and professional lives, believing we cannot have success and fulfilment in both.
We relentlessly pursue perfection in every aspect of our lives, especially when it comes to our little ones. We want them to always have the best. So from arranging playdates and managing calendars to providing the best nutrition and clothing, we forget to ask ourselves what we truly want to achieve. We lose sight of our own identity and aspirations, feeling stuck in a cycle of obligations and duties.
I've personally experienced these challenges, questioning my purpose and struggling to find balance after the premature birth of my daughter. Those first few months were consumed by hospital visits and worries - a period that tested me like no other. They were the most stressful and challenging times in my life and yet the most beautiful. It allowed me to embrace the joys of motherhood without fearing a slowdown. My priorities had completely changed. After 3 long months my daughter finally came home and started thriving and hitting each milestone with resilience.
When she turned 3, I made the decision to re-enter the workforce but I felt uncertain about what direction to take or how I would find a job that allowed me to balance my career with time for my little one. I explored various options grappling with the shift in my priorities and the impact it had on my career and financial independence. I tried different opportunities and finally started working with an executive search(recruitment) firm. It was a great place to work and gave me the flexibility I needed but not the financial freedom I wanted as well. Slowly I felt a loss of motivation, confidence and imposter syndrome. The turning point for me was when I stumbled upon the profound concepts of "Ikigai", "Logotherapy" & "Lagom" in the pages of a few remarkable books that I read. These discoveries prompted me to question what truly mattered to me and that's when I invested the time necessary to find my purpose & balance.
Now, equipped with two life coaching certifications and enriched by numerous coaching experiences where I had the opportunity to listen to several women who have been on similar journeys, I am here to make a genuine difference. I found my 'ikigai' in Coaching other women like me. My mission is to empower working women and mothers to have the freedom to pursue their passions, strengthen their cherished relationships, and achieve their career and financial goals without sacrificing time for themselves and their families. I want to enable them to return to work with confidence and grow in a career that they are truly passionate about and lead happier and more balanced lives; Lives where they have no regrets, leaving behind a legacy that makes them feel proud and fulfilled.
So, please do get in touch, and let’s unfold the endless possibilities awaiting you. I firmly believe
that the life you truly desire is within your grasp.
A few quotes that inspire me :
“Everyone has inside of her a piece of good news. The good news is that you don’t know how great you can be, how much you can love, what you can accomplish, and what your potential is.” – Anne Frank
"The greatest discovery of all time is that a person can change his (her/their) future by merely changing his (her/their) attitude." - Oprah Winfrey

Your Questions Answered
WHAT IS LIFE COACHING?
ICF (International Coaching Federation) defines coaching as "partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximise their personal and professional potential. The process of coaching often unlocks previously untapped sources of imagination, productivity and leadership."
Professional Life coaching focuses on setting goals, creating outcomes and managing personal change. It supports personal and professional growth based on self-initiated change in pursuit of specific actionable outcomes.
Life Coaching helps provide a different perspective on obstacles that are holding you back from reaching your full potential and achieving your goals. A Life Coach is a trained professional who helps you realise the different possibilities. They will help you identify your goals, obstacles, hold you accountable, provide encouragement in your journey of becoming a better version of yourself.
Finally, Life Coaching is NOT counselling or a form of therapy. It is also different from consulting and mentoring.
