About Priyanka
Hi, I'm Priyanka - a CTI-trained coach, recovering strategy consultant, and eternal question-asker. For over a decade my day job has been building the business case for where a company should go next, then stress-testing it in front of people paid to find the hole in it. I noticed that we'll spend six months building that case for the company, and six minutes deciding if we actually want the next promotion we're gunning for. That gap is what pulled me into coaching. Not advice, not someone diagnosing what's "wrong" with you but a space where you get asked the question you've been avoiding until an honest answer shows up instead of a rehearsed one. I work the whole tree. Career coaching is the leaves - the resume, the interview, the offer, the parts that show. Life coaching is the roots - what decides what you actually want next, and whether you're growing toward it on purpose or just defaulting into it. Most people only ever prune the leaves. If you're ready to ask yourself the same hard questions you'd ask any business plan - let's start. Background: B.Eng in Computer Science (NTU), MBA (INSEAD, Forte Fellow), six years as a software engineer and pre-sales lead, four years at McKinsey, currently VP of Corporate Development at a major exchange. CTI-trained coach.
Why do I coach?
Because for years my job was to hand people the answer - the analysis, the strategy, the fix. Coaching is the opposite muscle. I don't hand you the answer, I make you sit with the question until you can't dodge it. Watching someone stop reciting an answer and actually mean it, for the first time - that's the best part of my week.
