“We often lead and act from historical assumptions, learned behaviors and unquestioned habits that limit our ability to lead in more resourceful and creative ways. As a transformation catalyst, I design and offer a safe space for my clients to step back and examine their habits and behaviors and redesign their internal mental positioning so that they can experiment with new forms of behaviors and leadership styles” - Sheetal Shah
