Thank you, Gitima, for all your immense support and guidance. I was actively looking for help and being restless desperate to find hope after being burnout impacted by previous job that I voluntarily resigned from. The crucial thing during the entire coaching was to find a groundwork of momentum, clarity and clear action plan to rely on for achieving financial independence without sacrificing my well-being. As we reviewed and discussed different paths options suited with my skill set we came up with different strategies ideas and kept going. Gitima helped me stay positive, optimistic and gave me strength and courage to move forward no matter what.
Ultimately, with her support, I started applying for jobs everyday and tracked them consistently. Finally I landed a job in September with a great organization that is diverse and has women in the forefront in the role that matches with my past experience and present abilities. I have realized that the only thing that was holding me back is the limitations that I put on myself and with the right support I can stay focused and strong in my power. Gitima is the best coach I have ever come across. She is extremely experienced and humanistic in her approach towards helping you achieve your goals. She is excellent in employing various tools for helping you achieve career and personal goals and based on her own experiences and knowledge she helps you make a plan, hold you accountable and always gives understanding and support even if you lag behind. I feel like signing up for a lifetime coaching with her for all my goals in all areas of my life. She is beyond exemplary with a beautiful warm heart.

Before we started working together, I was at a breaking point. I was constantly juggling work, family, and community responsibilities, managing multiple client projects, leading teams, and holding everything together at home while my husband’s job required frequent travel. I felt like I was in a never-ending cycle of doing and giving, without space to just breathe or take care of myself. I was burned out but kept pushing, thinking that was what strength looked like. The turning point came through our sessions. You helped me slow down enough to see what was really happening, that it’s okay to acknowledge exhaustion, that boundaries don’t mean weakness, and that asking for help is not failure. Together we unpacked patterns of over-functioning, subtle forms of discrimination, and systemic biases that I had learned to quietly tolerate. You helped me see the difference between responsibility and over-responsibility, and most importantly, that my voice and well-being matter just as much as the outcomes I deliver.
Through that process, I started integrating everything I value, including my SGI Buddhist practice, in a more grounded and intentional way - in a way that gave me even more clarity and courage. Our sessions helped me see clear links between inner transformation to outer change, to break old patterns of self-sacrifice, and to show up with greater compassion and conviction, both at work and in life. After our work together, I began prioritizing what truly matters. I’ve learned to speak up, delegate, and say “not right now” without guilt. I’ve become more aware of when I’m nearing burnout and can redirect before I collapse. My relationships at home, with my team, and with myself feel more balanced and genuine. Most importantly, I now have a clear sense of direction and trust in the path I’m creating, rather than constantly running to meet everyone else’s expectations. The result has been transformative: a new level of clarity, confidence, and peace of mind. I’ve redefined success on my own terms, one that honors both achievement and mental well-being. To anyone considering coaching with you, I’d say this: it’s one of the most empowering investments you can make in yourself. The awareness and strength you will gain will have a ripple effect into every part of your life, your career, your relationships, and your sense of purpose.

I have been friends with Gitima for a few years and have always found her posts inspiring. I reached out to her when I was feeling confused about the next steps in my career. I couldn’t quite put my finger on which direction I wanted to go, and I needed someone I could trust to talk it through and help me articulate my thoughts.
I truly appreciate the way she listens so intently. Even though we had only three sessions, she offered practical, smart tips that I’ve already started incorporating and I’m feeling so much better for it. I needed a gentle nudge, and Gitima provided exactly that. She created a safe and comfortable space for me to open up and share my worries and fears.
If you’re feeling stuck in your career journey, I’d wholeheartedly recommend connecting with Gitima.

I now feel more centered, self-assured, and aligned with my goals. My mindset shifted from striving to trusting myself and the process, using the tools you inspired me to use. I’ve gained clarity in my career direction, renewed self-worth, and the confidence to take bold steps forward with peace and purpose. If you’re considering coaching with Dr. Gitima, do it.

Dr. Gitima Sharma led a session on mental health and wellness for our school's teachers. She was generous with both her time and expertise. She worked closely with teachers to process different dimensions of their well-being such as social well-being, emotional coping, professional development, and so on. She was passionate and engaging. Teachers specifically appreciated the discussions on work-life balance and how to promote empathy and compassion for self and others - within and beyond school community. She bonded with the teachers immediately because they could sense her genuine care. She will enrich any organization that has the good fortune to hire her.
