Leaders have to keep mobilizing their teams and effectively communicate both verbally and non-verbally. This is of paramount importance, and one cannot overinvest in this skill. The best part is that you can learn and cultivate this habit through practice.
Being a leader is also about reading a room, picking up on the elusive emotions of your clients or listener, and basing your solution upon them, so as to achieve collective growth.
Sheeja is an exceptional program leader who helps you understand both the bold and subtle hints revealed by the human body in team interaction. I strongly believe in what she advocates, and I’m glad to see she’s imparted this art here.

“It was very uplifting to spend a day on a transformative learning session on how to be lateral thinkers and the role of 'I' in a team. Understanding that it is all about responsibility and not accountability! It was both fun and fulfilling to don our lateral thinking hats and generate creative, unique, and achievable solutions to help us on our growth journey. Thank you, Sheeja Shaju, for rekindling our creative thought process and heightened self-awareness." Ruchika Gupta, CEO, Borderless Access

I recently completed Ontological and Somatic leadership coaching sessions with Sheeja. It helped me understand my personal values and goals, made me improve my communication and collaboration skills, and helped me lead with empathy and develop a systems-thinking approach. Better decision-making, enhanced team dynamics, and a sense of fulfillment and path to achieve completeness in life are some of the things I have achieved through these sessions.
The Somatic part helped me understand how the body holds emotions, wisdom, and intuition about us and our lives, It was a truly transformative experience.
It provided me with new insights and strategies for becoming a more effective leader. I am feeling empowered and inspired to take my leadership skills to the next level.

Not only did we gain new perspectives on change management, but we also had a blast along the way!

I found Sheeja through a LinkedIn post and it didn’t take much time for me to choose her as my leadership coach. Sheeja has made a significant impact in my learning and growth. Best part is she curates the sessions based on areas where I need to improve and not a standard set of leadership topics.
Her unique techniques & practices has built/strengthened my overall personality - covering mental health, leading through body, winning mindset, strategic thinking and balancing act. Sheeja’s passion towards coaching is infectious and association with her is sufficient us to grow in career.
I am continue my learning partnership with Sheeja. For anyone thinking about pushing their career forward in leadership, I would highly recommend Sheeja as their coach.

I discovered Sheeja by chance and intuitively I knew I needed her help. I signed up with her and going in with complete trust.
Her techniques and her practices have been very useful in making me a more self-aware leader and individual. She worked with me on all fronts and gently but surely she made me relook my strengths as well as biases.
She works on realigning the belief system without making you feel uncomfortable. It has a wonderful journey which she let me take at my pace.
She is now more a friend than coach, one that I know I can reach out to!

My coaching with Sheeja not only brought about a different observer in me but made me clearly see that I have a choice in every given situation.
Being gentle, comforting and forth right she showed me the mirror several times making me realise how I was easily giving away my power.
She helped me build a strong muscle to fulfill and manage my promises efficiently.

I did a 1 to 1 coaching with Sheeja and it was absolutely mind opening experience. Gently but firmly she helped me see my blindspots, and helped me work on them. I learnt to let go of the past with the thought that, that was the best one could do with their capacity at that time.
After working with Sheeja I was able to improve my credibility at work place and received positive feedback from my colleagues and clients. This helped me get the Product owner role I was looking for.

Thanks to Sheeja I created some very empowering stories in 2 years that helped me pass major hurdles in business & personal life. She always gave space to understand my perspective, gave direction such that I can find my own solution (not get dependent on her) & was upfront (in nice way) in pointing out my mistakes.
Her somatic practices made me see my body talking to me every moment & give lot of awareness. She is one coach I will always go back and very sure of getting right direction.

I'm more confident than before on handling my personal and professional life. Overall, I can see my life in my control and I am in the driver's seat, rather than being at the mercy of situations or other people. Thank you very much Sheeja for helping me gain clarity and grounding.

Sheeja is very perceptive and warm. She understands you as someone who has a history and more importantly a future that you can design. Using centering practices, somatic exercises, and conversations she creates the space to meet the leader in you.
It was particularly helpful in going out and making offers to potential clients with confidence.
