“Coaching is forward-looking and super goal-oriented. The understanding of coaching and situations in which you would look for a coach really relate to where you are trying to go, and would you benefit from receiving help from an experienced coach who can help you get there.” — Samhita Jayanti [0:04:34]

“Entrepreneurship is a wonderful, but also deeply lonely process in many ways and benefitting from an advisor and a sounding board who can help to expand your own knowledge, to identify really specific pathways to fill in those knowledge gaps, and enable you to make decisions and then actually hold you accountable.” — Samhita Jayanti [0:06:38]

“Sometimes we just benefit from an objective external lens of someone with experience of working with people like us, who will give us some advice we will actually listen to, be there while we implement it, help us capitalize on those learnings, and then turn those learnings into habits.” — Samhita Jayanti [0:17:32]
