"Intrigued by Minal's "hustle culture needs to die" post, I reached out. All my life I had measured success by achieving, by doing more with less, and while things were not feeling sustainable with more scope and more kids, I also had no idea what could possibly replace the fulfillment I got from checking off boxes. In our initial conversation, I also expressed hesitance on whether working together would actually address root causes rather than symptoms and whether I would be able to find the time to do homework, given my time poverty. Minal asked me to take a leap of faith, and boy was I wrong on both accounts. I am now on a profound journey of self-discovery and understanding, and I find myself creating AND looking forward to time to seek clarity, instead of viewing it as a task. There is a reason that so many of her testimonials contain words like life-changing and transformational. Minal has a superpower to connect Type A people who just want frameworks and answers with a deep spiritual journey that enables us to connect with our authentic core and the world around us. Her insights, which she has captured in structured videos and weaves into individual sessions, are closer than anything I have seen to what is real and true about work. Take a leap of faith with Minal - it will be worth it."

For anyone looking for a coach who fosters real growth and clarity, I can’t recommend Minal enough."

"I've had a number of exec coaches. Some have been good. Some have been less good. In all cases, I didn't find that they fully understood what I did, who I worked with, the impact that I was hoping for, and how I was trying to marry this impact with my own growth goals. Minal has an integrated coaching style that considers the whole person and uses this to maximize coaching results. As a former CEO and PM, she understands what it means to operate. She can go beyond generic wisdom and be a thought partner in tackling business problems. I love that Minal asks tough questions and challenges me to rethink my base assumptions around how best to work and live. I would highly recommend Minal to anyone who is looking for a partner in a career transformation."

Her high-touch approach and genuine care for my success have been invaluable. I highly recommend Minal to anyone seeking transformative coaching both on personal and professional side."

She is all the things you would expect from a career coach and so much more. Through various frameworks, tools and techniques she has perfected over the years she will help you see the mental traps that are holding you back and give you tips and tricks to start resetting and playing your own game.

To me, she embodies the full spectrum of feminine power—soft yet firm, penetrating yet embracing. I felt an immediate sense of trust the moment our eyes met.
I had the privilege of experiencing her unique approach to coaching and healing, which left a profound impact on me. She reminded me of Mother Nature—nurturing, protective, and deeply compassionate.

Words alone cannot fully capture its significance, but it is an experience I will cherish forever.
I wholeheartedly recommend Minal to anyone open to transformation with the guidance of a true master. Connect with her—you’ll be pleasantly surprised by what unfolds."

"An exploratory chat on ChatGPT, and I found Minal Mehta! Minal was for real, not just a creation of an AI model. Our first conversation turned out to be a pivotal moment for me. Since then, she has helped me shift my perspective from trying to fix things to embracing my perceived imperfections. Minal helped me see the unique strengths I had overlooked and guided me to move from a mindset of scarcity to one of abundance. During one of the most challenging phases of my career, Minal became my lighthouse, showing me how to see uncertainty and ambiguity as opportunities of growth. She helped me stay grounded and approach my tasks with a newfound sense of effortlessness."

"I first met Minal when she was offering coaching services through our alumni network. Over just a few sessions, she helped me renegotiate my equity package with my future employer by 2x, increasing the total comp by a six digit range. When I learned she was launching her coaching service almost a decade later, I was eager to re-engage, particularly because I was at a crossroads in my career.
Working with Minal helped reset my thinking to focus on what I want and highlighted habits and behaviors that were counterproductive to those goals. She introduced routines around mindfulness, gratitude, and affirmation that I still use daily to stay grounded. I highly recommend Minal and appreciate all the refreshing advice and feedback she's provided."

"Minal is an incredible partner and coach. With her extensive professional experience and wealth of research, there is no problem she will not be able to bring impactful insights and advice to. Whether it is strategizing tactical responses to a manager, or taking a step back and reorigineting your entire approach to your job, Minal can relate to and advise on any situation. She is also focused on tailoring her approach to your needs and empowering you to find clarity and confidence in your journey. She works with you to develop habits and tools to understand and manage the most critical levers of growth for yourself. Her focus on establishing this solid foundation has made working together such a rewarding experience. It has been a pleasure to know and work with Minal, and I would recommend her to anyone in need of help or feedback for managing their career."

"I am thrilled to write a recommendation for Minal, an exceptional coach and transformative influence in my life. Her guidance has been instrumental in shifting my perspective from one of scarcity to one of abundance. Through her coaching, I have learned to let go of past habits and assumptions, allowing me to embrace new opportunities with a fresh perspective.
One of Minal's standout qualities is her tailored and personalized approach, which made me feel deeply understood and valued. After getting to know me, Minal figured out the best way to communicate with me and identified coaching methods that unblock my mindset. In particular, her Mind and Heart exercise was an aha moment for my growth and commitment to changing towards a clear and undeniable abundance mindset.
Minal helped me reflect on failure and its meaning and how to embrace it as a stepping stone to success, helping me develop the right mindset and attitude to face challenges head-on. Her coaching has helped to reinforce that setbacks can be opportunities for growth and learning, ultimately leading to greater resilience and achievement.
I highly recommend Minal to anyone seeking a dedicated, insightful, and transformative coach. Her ability to inspire positive change and foster personal growth is remarkable, instilling hope and optimism in those she coaches."

"I had the privilege of working with Minal over the last few months, and the experience has been nothing short of life-changing. Her guidance has been instrumental in clearing out the mental blocks that kept me stuck, enabling me to set and achieve tangible goals.
Last year, my confidence took a significant hit, but the transformation I've undergone in the past few months has been remarkable. Week by week, especially in the last two months, I have watched myself shed an outdated version of myself and step into a more confident and goal-oriented individual. Minal's support and expertise have been pivotal in this journey.

"If I could encapsulate my transformative journey with Minal into words, they would be: life-changing, eye-opening, and truly liberating.
For years, my mind was caught in an endless rat race, always rushing, never resting. It felt like I was chasing mirages instead of real goals. Then I found Minal. With her guidance, I learned to see life through the lens of abundance rather than scarcity. She reminded me that we all have our unique pace to success.
What's more, Minal reframed my desire for recognition and success, a factor I used to guilt myself as shallow and materialistic. Minal's lessons really hit home for me. She guided me to accept and embrace my desires as part of my individuality, rather than treating them as signs of vanity.
Simply put, Minal is much more than a coach to me. She has become a guiding light and a mentor who has my back. Her wisdom combined with her empathetic style has gently guided me towards a place where I am more at peace with myself and feel a sense of contentment I hadn't known before.
To anyone who feels stuck in the whirlwind of ambition or struggles with self-doubt, I can't recommend Minal enough. This could very well be the best decision you make for your mental peace and happiness. Be prepared for a profoundly enriching experience!"

"Working with Minal has been life-changing. From our very first conversation, she uncovered blind spots I didn’t even realize I had. She shared an insight that completely shifted my perspective: “It seems like you’re constantly seeking something outside of yourself. I think we need to turn within and start searching within you.” That simple yet profound observation became the turning point for me.
As someone who’s highly motivated, I believed stepping back or doing less might slow my progress. Minal showed me that the opposite is true. Embracing balance and learning to live in flow has transformed both my life and career. Her ability to weave together zen-inspired teachings with the fast-paced demands of corporate careers is nothing short of extraordinary.
Beyond her one-on-one coaching, the community she has cultivated is inspiring. Being surrounded by such accomplished individuals in the STEM field has been a gift. The support, camaraderie, and shared growth within this group are truly exceptional.
Minal has a uniquely compassionate yet candid approach. She provides honest, thoughtful feedback that challenges you to grow, always with kindness and unwavering belief in your potential. Her guidance has helped me develop a better relationship with myself, which in turn has aligned my career with my true aspirations. I’m now confidently pursuing senior leadership roles and achieving things I once thought were beyond my reach.
Minal’s impact is profound, and her dedication to her clients is unmatched. If you’re ready to elevate your career and your life, I can’t recommend her enough."

"When I first started working with Minal, I was at a breaking point—struggling with deep uncertainty about who I was and what I wanted, both personally and professionally. A series of difficult experiences had left me questioning my own confidence and identity. I had always prided myself on resilience, but for the first time, I felt untethered, unsure of how to move forward.
Minal has an extraordinary ability to hold space for both the raw, unfiltered challenges of life and the ambitious, high-performing leader within. She guided me through some of the hardest moments of my career and personal journey, helping me untangle the weight of external pressures and rediscover a version of myself that felt whole again. She doesn’t offer quick fixes—she helps you see yourself with clarity, unearth the deeper patterns that shape your decisions, and rebuild from a place of true strength.
Through our work, I’ve not only regained my confidence but also redefined what leadership means to me. I now operate from a place of alignment rather than obligation, presence rather than reaction. Beyond the 1:1 coaching, the community she has cultivated is an invaluable network of thoughtful, driven leaders who share a commitment to growth and authenticity.
Minal’s impact on my life has been nothing short of transformative. If you’re navigating a crossroads—whether in career, leadership, or personal growth—she is the kind of guide who will challenge, support, and ultimately help you find your way back to yourself. I cannot recommend her highly enough."

"I feel fortunate to have found Minal as a coach and mentor for my career. Over the past few months, she has strengthened my resilience at work and guided me toward a renewed sense of purpose. By focusing on delivering genuine value, I’ve become more grounded and self-assured in what I do.
Minal’s style combines empathetic understanding with practical, results-oriented strategies, giving you both the support and the tools needed to foster real, lasting growth.

"Working with Minal has been a truly transformative experience, and I can't recommend her highly enough.
Minal has helped me realize that I am capable of fundamental change, even in areas I've struggled with my whole life. That alone has been a big, optimistic, and impactful shift in my perspective. She has done this by guiding me on inner work while being firmly grounded in my world. I've become more self-aware, mindful, and calm, and have greater clarity on the matters that truly matter.
As a result, I have a better sense for what I’m looking for at work and therefore have become more "at ease at work" while simultaneously becoming more satisfied and more productive - a great trifecta. I now believe that being “at ease” doing things is foundational and is upstream of the many things we all desire and work towards.
I feel calmer and more confident in dealing with daily and longer-term challenges and goals, both at work and in my personal life. Although I set out to work with Minal with a focus on my work life and career trajectory, an unexpected and important benefit has been that our work has helped me be more present for my family.
Minal has introduced me to practical, powerful concepts, like developing an inner "center" to make better decisions and the importance of structure and daily mindset work. To an earlier version of me, these would’ve sounded like abstract ideas. I would’ve been skeptical, even cynical. But I’ve seen that these are tangible notions and concrete habits with clear benefits.
I’ve implemented the daily mindset practice for every single day for the last 9 months. It has been incredible for my mental health, clarity, focus, and productivity. Thanks to Minal’s motto of “structure creates freedom,” I’m consciously using structure more in my personal and work life. I now manage my daily, weekly and longer-term tasks more actively, more mindfully, and more realistically than I ever have. For someone who has always found it next to impossible to develop and stick to good long-term habits, these are nothing short of minor miracles.
A friend, who is an exec at Google, had unconditionally recommended me to Minal. I’m very glad that she did.
If you feel like you're capable of more but are not sure how to unlock it, I wholeheartedly recommend reaching out to Minal. I’m very glad that I did."

" Before working with Minal, I was caught in a cycle of overthinking, anxiety, and self-doubt, constantly second-guessing myself and minimizing my uniqueness. Within just 90 days, the transformation has been profound. The person I am today feels entirely different—more grounded, self-assured, and fully aligned with my authentic self. Minal recognized the potential in me even before I was able to see it, and with her thoughtful guidance, I’ve begun to release the grip of fear and perfectionism that once held me back. I now embrace my individuality with confidence, express my needs clearly, and have witnessed a powerful shift both internally and in the opportunities that are coming my way. What truly sets Minal apart is her ability to facilitate deep mindset work and focus on building a strong inner foundation for lasting growth. She is the kind of coach who helps you create change at the core, not just at the surface. I am incredibly grateful I followed my instinct and reached out after coming across that one LinkedIn post. It was one of the most transformative decisions I’ve ever made."
