🚀 I help high achievers build their careers around flow. This requires…

1. Internally, learning how to access your flow no matter what’s going on around you

2. Externally, designing a career strategy that angles your flow at a high-priority problem that someone will pay you good money to solve 

3. Tactically, navigating the transition from where you are right now to where you want to be

What my clients have to say…

“I would recommend Pooja’s coaching to people who, growing up, have done well in school environments. 

Because people who do well in those environments, oftentimes in the real world, they place a lot of pressure on themselves to continue doing well. 

Whereas the real world is quite different to the school environment.”

What my clients have to say…

“I would in particular recommend Pooja to this specific phenotype of high achievers. 

We put a lot of pressure on ourselves and the outside world might never understand that our lives are not as perfect as they seem, or that we struggle as much as we do. 

I think that phenotype in particular, would benefit a ton from working with Pooja specifically.”

My “your job vs. your craft” idea is heavily influenced by Simone Seol’s concept of “your profession vs. your artistry,” which she elaborates on in this podcast episode: https://open.spotify.com/episode/4eGc3hQ01JjtzhErJv1DY1?si=hDt4ge33Q0q5kR-XXoJLyg

What my clients have to say…

“I was worried the advice I’d be getting would be very general or something that I could just have Googled or seen on Twitter. 

But that quickly fell away. 

The advice, the connection, the unique frameworks and analogies Pooja has were like nothing I've ever seen before, outside of her social media.”

What my clients have to say…

“I feel less helplessness. 

There’s so much more that’s in my control, in terms of taking the next step or making a decision. 

And that makes me feel more optimistic and confident in my decision making. 

I just feel more at ease.”

What my clients have to say…

“Coaching helped me get up and feel empowered and feel like I could actually change my outcome based on how I thought about things.

Having been a real academic overachiever, I get into this situation where if things are not perfect, I get stuck in a rut. Unless it’s all perfect, I don't move forward.

But Pooja taught me the concept of ‘quantity creates quality’ and gave me practical goals every week, and that really helped me move forward in my professional life (and even in my dating life!).

I moved from just sitting around in my room overthinking everything and not really taking any action, to having weekly appointments to move things forward, and having someone holding me accountable to getting stuff done. 

And that just gave me a lot more self-belief and structure.”

What my clients have to say…

“When you have aspirations and big ambitions, it's really easy to be harsh on yourself. What changed the game for me was realizing that being mean to yourself and making progress are not related to each other at all.

Actually, you can have a completely normal, healthy relationship with yourself and encourage yourself AND make progress. 

I enjoy the process so much more now.”

What my clients have to say…

“I realized that you can always create a space of abundance, even when there's scarcity.

This process has allowed me to go so deep into myself and realize: Just be more yourself.

You don’t have to change. And that abundance helps me to make better, less fear-based decisions.”

What my clients have to say…

“I love when Pooja drops wisdom. 

It’s always, like, a five word sentence that I’ll write down in my journal and refer back to. 

It’s like sometimes you’ll read a whole book just to get that one sentence. 

And it’s kind of like having this encyclopedic friend who’s just like, ‘You said all this stuff. Don't read that book. Let me just tell you the five words.’

And it’s really incredible."
