Mentoring for Certfied Coaches
Madhu was the difference maker in my evolution to a certified coach. She never let me off the hook, delivering direct feedback that was also incredibly supportive. Her insights and intuition helped me to take some bold risks and own my authenticity as a budding coach.

I got certified as a coach in 2016 and I’ve been building my practice since. In the summer of 2018, I felt like I was falling into a rut as a coach. One day, when I was struggling to make a difference with a client for the third session in a row, I caught myself planning to run down so I could move on. That startled me, so I reached out for mentoring.
I am so glad that I connected with Madhu. She helped me build my own rubric for my coaching, and then used that rubric to help me evaluate my sessions. She helped me sort through feelings and judgments around tough sessions, and also insisted that I trust my intuition and power as a coach. As a result, I broke through the barrier I’d been having with that client, and I stepped up my game for all my clients, as well. It’s spring 2019 now and my practice is growing organically, aligned with my rubric for what it means to deliver transformation.

I worked with Madhu at a time when I was too afraid to step fully into my coaching work. I had all sorts of stories about why I couldn’t leave my full time job and limiting beliefs about how I wasn’t a good enough coach to make this work. Partnering with Madhu helped me to envision a path forward that enabled me to be brave while also being deliberate in my steps.
Each step she supported me to take got me closer to where I ultimately wanted to be. She also supported me to own my strengths as a person and as a coach. I had to do the work and be the one to take the risks, but without Madhu at my side I might still be living in my stories of why my current reality wasn’t possible. I am so thankful I chose her to be my coach and mentor. When I look back now I am amazed and incredibly proud of how much I’ve accomplished and how far I’ve come with her support.

The impact of being mentored by Madhu lasted way longer than the few hours I got to actually spend with her. I may not remember the exact wording of her feedback, or the challenges she offered me, but what I manage to keep and continue to hold dear is her deep and genuine sense of trust in me as a coach.
There were times when my coaching practice became very frustrating and I wasn't able to coach at a level that draws on my full potential, but Madhu refused to lower the bar for me. What made Madhu a compelling yet compassionate mentor was her way of showing her full faith in me and my ability to become the best coach I can be, so that even during the tough times I felt seen and supported.
