ABOUT THE COACH
LEAD COACH AND FACILITATOR
Shalini Bindal:
I am a Transformational Coach certified by the International Coach Federation (ICF) and trained by Transcend International, Hong Kong.
I do private coaching sessions and group programs for teenagers, parents and women. Before becoming a Life Coach, I was a HR professional and corporate trainer. I train tweens and teens on soft skills including: Public Speaking Skills, Communication Skills, Social Skills and Executive Functioning Skills.
I am also a certified REALGirl facilitator and have delivered workshops in the MindQuest Group.
I also work for non-profit organizations to impart life values to kids through group sessions.
WHY I DO WHAT I DO
As a parent, I was always proud to have two well-behaved and obedient children—until they hit adolescence. The reasons, reward and punishment system didn't work anymore. Their questions became harder to answer and their behavior became more challenging to correct. I struggled with maintaining a positive influence on them while juggling my career. I knew that what had gotten me this far would not take me any further.
The most challenging bit was giving them reasons that would resonate with them. For most of the issues, while I knew intuitively what was "right" and what was "wrong", I could not explain what made it right or why it was right for them. Coaching techniques and questions helped me gain clarity on what I really wanted from myself and for my children and why it was so important to me.
In the journey towards this clarity I became more self-aware. My doubts and fears became more clear to me and I understood why I acted the way I did. As I gained self-clarity, I became calmer and more effective as a parent. It became easy for me to guide and empower my kids towards becoming conscientious, resilient and independent leaders of tomorrow.
HOW MY CLIENTS BENEFIT FROM MY WORK
I focus my energy on teens, parents and women. My clientele range from a seasoned corporate lawyer looking for a change in career to a working single parent wanting to build bridges with her teen son to an adolescent struggling with self-esteem.
Being a Transformational Coach, I have been trained to coach anywhere on the spectrum ranging from skillset to mindset, depending on the needs of the client. I use a combination of management tools, coaching techniques and scientific know-how to support my clients in finding their physical, mental and emotional resources to perform at their peak in times of change or crisis.
As a coach, my joy comes from seeing my clients shift from negative and self-limiting beliefs to positive and empowering thoughts leading to desired outcomes.
