You can start chatting with Rucha before you get started.
I got my start with a public school education and a passion for social impact—and have since made my way around the highest levels of government, prestigious fellowships, Ivy League classrooms, major nonprofits, and top research hospitals. I've left these spaces hungry to help other passionate change-makers from all backgrounds get their foot in the door and make an impact on the people and systems around them when they are in—without losing sight of what drew them in the first place. Since then, I've coached 60+ professionals from across sectors—business, government, law, nonprofits, medicine, arts—from 20+ countries and have helped teach courses on leadership, negotiation, and workplace communication at the Harvard Law School, Harvard Kennedy School, Harvard Graduate School of Education, and Harvard Executive Education Program.
Rucha also coaches for Career Coaching and Public Service & Administration. View all.

Rucha has helped clients get into these companies:
I believe the challenges we experience internally are mirrors for the challenges we experience externally—I'll help you make progress on both through deep inner work, sharp systems analysis, and creative, practical strategizing. I've coached professionals across sectors who wanted to make a bigger impact in their context—but were struggling to make it happen amidst complexity, conflict, and power dynamics: entrepreneurs navigating interpersonal challenges with their investors, attorneys negotiating creative settlements outside of court, victim advocates seeking restorative justice, medical practitioners looking for more sustainable work cultures, and more.

Why do I coach?
Coaching, to me, is about helping you tap into your unique superpowers—not about pushing you into a cardboard cutout. It's about helping you find the words that feel right in your voice for the interview, the plan that is sharp in your head for the negotiation, and the actions that feel aligned in your heart to intervene on dynamics in your organization. I think that is key to landing the right opportunity and making waves once you're there. Nothing gives me more life than helping people become the best version of themselves—and helping them bring out the same in those around them. If you're ready to dream and execute, let's chat.
