Harpreet's Story
It was tough to learn later in life that not all women feel confident or secure in navigating the corporate world this way. This heritage of unapologetic women is the mantle I carry when I come alongside you or your organization. My life’s passion and purpose is empowering women to succeed in business, yes, and inwardly as well. I take a holistic approach, creating a space of trust and transparency with all my clients.
It is my greatest joy to help you overcome whatever is holding you back so that you can have a fulfilling career that is unapologetically you.
I grew up
watching strong,
tenacious women confront
problems with solutions.
They didn’t think “why
me?” or “there’s no way” –
they saw obstacles and
created pathways to
resolution. When others
saw “no’s”, the women
around me saw
possibilities.
While working in male
dominated organizations, I
was often the only woman and probably
the most vocal in the meetings. I learned
to navigate and thrive being the only one.
I smile to myself as I recall my first manager encouraging me to scold “that rude chief
technical officer!" Looking back on my early
corporate management experiences as a
(sensitive) naïve MBA Graduate, I now realize
I was extraordinarily well equipped by my
family upbringing to be courageous
and resilient in the face of
adverse power politics.
Coaching
Does your inner critic tell you that you are not good enough, driving you to work harder and strive for perfection, leaving you exhausted?
While you enjoy what you do, do you feel very drained out? Always anxious, worrying, or anticipating failure?
Do you struggle to say no? Do you end up with assignments that give you no visibility or leave you feeling crunched for time?
Do you struggle with negotiating pay that you deserve, or getting stakeholder buy-in for important decisions?
Do you doubt yourself? Are you uncomfortable when presenting to senior stakeholders?
I’ll show you how to:
- Design a flourishing, balanced career on your own terms and feel fulfilled in your work and personal life
- Find an authentic and meaningful voice that connects to your values
- Build an inspiring and influential executive presence that sets you apart
- Conquer sabotaging thoughts and patterns that threaten your confidence
Why top brands choose Harpreet
When more
women lead, the
corporate culture
inevitably shifts.
As a result, the policies,
practices, and systems
become more inclusive,
ultimately producing
a higher performing
organization.

Synergy:
I’ll be direct about what I observe. I’m not going to sugar-coat anything, but I will always approach with respect and kindness.
I’ll ask tough questions and lead with empathy, challenging the status quo to break patterns that hinder growth and fulfillment.
I will not shy away from giving honest feedback and will share both good and the bad in service of you or the organization. Likewise, I will listen and seek to understand you and your organization, being open to alternative perspectives.
I will walk the talk, represent my authentic self, and create a safe, collaborative environment. You can feel comfortable being you, because I will always remain me –- open, honest, empathetic.
We are in this together…your failure is my failure, and your successes are a win for us both. I will join you in the space you or your organization are currently at and we will move forward shoulder to shoulder.
Speaking

Team members can’t be their full, authentic selves when an organization lacks diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Building an Inclusive Workplace
I’ve been
embracing differences
since childhood. When I
was a kid, we moved houses every
two years – which meant new
school, friends, state, city, etc.
Every new context would make me
curious about the new language, culture,
foods, religions, and political views. I grew
up wearing a curiosity hat, holding space
for multiple stories, all of which has
enabled me to have an intercultural/
global mindset.This allows me to
make sense of cultural differences
and commonalities based on
one’s own and other culture’s
values and practices.
When your team members can’t bring their whole self to the workplace, it causes breakdowns in communication and a lack of trust. Creating inclusive work environments that are truly equitable and embrace diversity allows your team to thrive, bringing the best of themselves to the table each day.
I will join you where you are on your DEI journey and partner with you to create meaningful and authentic work experiences for individuals and teams in your organization that scale your business success.
Solutions can include:
- DEI audit and assessment for the organization
- Customizing and delivering DEI programs for senior leadership teams
- Executive team alignment coaching
- DEI program for teams and organizations as train-the-trainer
- Equipping the training content or communication team with skills to review and create content that is inclusive.
