The Inflorescence Coaching Room
Client Speak
Chief Investment Officer - Asset Management
"It was a wonderful experience being coached by Sujatha. I had signed up at a time where I had to make key career decisions and our discussions immensely helped my decision making, thought process and action plan. The revelation was how open, honest and frank I was in laying out the issues and solutions. The credit for that has to go to Sujatha. She managed to create a space where I felt comfortable and willing to discuss and in return got aware and found ways to deal with things which I hadn’t known or discussed with anyone else before.
Sujatha’s happy and positive attitude is infectious and extremely empowering."
Digital Marketing Consultant
"A bit of context first: I went through a lot of emotional turmoil after getting laid off in the middle of Covid in August 2020. I also switched my career to the field of digital marketing. The career path I am pursuing is unconventional and uncommon. There are days where I have a sense of fear and uncertainty about my future.
I got the answers to all my questions and concerns through Sujatha’s coaching. She helped me by assessing my strengths, weaknesses, skills and values. Sujatha came across as a very knowledgeable coach. She is a terrific listener, she got me to share my past experiences, my career at present, my goals for the future and put it in a broad and holistic perspective. She came to each of the coaching sessions well prepared. She had made notes and remembered everything discussed in the previous sessions. It might seem insignificant to some, but this showed her professionalism and commitment as a coach. She is genuinely interested in helping me and seeing her clients succeed.
Through her coaching, I got an objective and holistic view of my strengths and my mindset. I have gained greater confidence and clarity on my strengths and areas I can improve upon. I have learnt about my values, i.e. what motivates and energizes me, and what takes my energy away. I have also gained insight into how I can accomplish the goals I have set for myself.
I strongly recommend her for anyone looking to make a career transition or gain greater clarity and direction in his career. She will objectively evaluate where you stand and what's the best path ahead for you."
Managing Editor at Leading Global Media Company
"Sujatha was my Life Coach for a year, and in that duration I saw myself grow, both personally and professionally. She is incredibly warm, supportive and encouraging, and even a casual chat with her will immediately lift your mood. She helped me make some great decisions by asking the right questions, and has been there for me, long after our sessions stopped.
She also sets an example by being such an inspiring personality herself--a marathon runner, an entrepreneur and mother to two teenagers, among other things. I credit my career growth, ability to manage professional tensions, and the strength to deal with other stresses effectively, to Sujatha."
India Impact Lead at Nonprofit Organization
"I was very lucky to come across Sujatha! We had an initial session to get to know each other, which was unique and enjoyable, followed by a more in-depth self-discovery session. I felt a great sense of achievement, but also happiness after as we really managed to meet my coaching objectives. I valued the reminder of what is important to me, such as what constitutes my most resourceful (or true) self, what my life purpose looks like and what some of my natural gifts and talents are.
The sessions were also an opportunity to slow down and dig deeper to understand the root of my current fears or anxieties. I felt a shift from a place of uncertainty to a place of acceptance and gratitude, but also confidence in the strategies I now had in-hand to move forward. Thank you, Sujatha!"
Assistant Vice President - Data Analytics
"Your coaching sessions prompted me to think why I was looking for an alternate career path in the first place, and to dig deeper into the reasons. Through your continuous guidance, I understood that certain things about my current job are fundamentally in conflict with my core values (such as autonomy, flexibility and creativity), thus leading to my dissatisfaction at work. With your advice and encouragement, I decided to attempt at correcting some of those issues. I raised my concerns with my reporting manager. He listened to me and acknowledged my concerns. Things are slightly better for me at work now, at least I am no more involved in reporting-related activities and I am getting the work that I want to do. But more importantly, I have the satisfaction of voicing my concerns to my manager. I didn't sit back and suffer, instead I decided to take some action to correct the situation and I could do that thanks to your encouragement and guidance.
​
As the next steps, I am trying to do my best in my current job, and instead of trying
to fight the work environment or people, I am keeping an open eye to the new job opportunities. Sometimes acceptance is a wider thing to do than to complain or fight the situation."
Content Strategist
"I felt stuck at my transitioned career and was looking for a structured guidance to take the next leap. It made no sense to hop jobs aimlessly and without greater purpose, but sometimes the purpose isn't the brightest shining star. And that's where you helped me get closer to what I really desired as a career path. I derived intangible outcomes from our sessions, which was improvement in self esteem and professional confidence.
I didn't embrace my career story for the longest stretch of time and would divert any topic that hovered around my career choices. I felt not enough and always focussed on improvement areas. I wasn't aware of my unique strengths which led me to be critical of myself everytime.
But our coaching sessions changed this narrative. The assignments you gave were the show stoppers and I loved doing them. They were the cornerstones of deep self reflection and introspection. Doing them diligently helped me to view myself in a different light altogether which was more positive, self -affirming and encouraging.
I liked how you shared your personal anecdotes to bring out a perspective and included spirituality as a part of the process. As a full marathon runner, despite your physical health constraints, you never fail to amaze me. I am so glad to have connected with you and grow as a person, Sujatha. Grateful for this association and I wish more people take your coaching advice to leap beyond boundaries."
Senior Software Professional
"I was going through a crisis in my personal life and I was quite apprehensive of how it will affect my career. I wanted to achieve my goals but I had no clarity. That's when I met coach Sujatha Jain and my coaching journey has been nothing but fantastic.
Sujatha is an extremely lively and intelligent coach and I always looked forward to every session with her. All our meetings were eye openers. I discovered so many capabilities I had within myself and how I can leverage them to climb higher up the career ladder. At the end of every session I felt more confident and empowered.
I also gained lot of clarity. I feel extremely grateful to have met a wonderful coach and mentor like Sujatha Jain and I would definitely recommend her to all those who want to create a career roadmap for themselves and also to those who really want to discover what talents they have and how they can make the best use of it."
Senior Product Director - FinTech Startup
"I had a 1 year journey with Sujatha as my Coach. What I gained most from sessions with Sujatha is her ability to help me get clarity to the toughest of questions I have in my head. She has a free flowing style that gives me the space to build on my own thoughts and she adds the right nudges - without advising me - for me to take the thought forward in the direction I choose. I will happily recommend Sujatha to anyone looking for a coach."
