Background

About Sonali Arurkar

What I doCoaching: When I engage in a coaching relationship I am an invested thought partner. I help clients identify and address the gap between where they are now and where they want to go. I work with high-impact individuals to reach beyond what they think is possible and tackle challenges that arise, including communication issues, feeling stuck, managing difficult relationships, motivating employees, and leading through change. Through coaching, my clients push past limitations, explore new perspectives, and create more fulfilling professional and personal lives. Consulting: I work with teams and organizations that are looking to scale or achieve a higher level of performance. Over my 20 year career, I have been consistently recognized for building high-performing teams by developing a strong vision, establishing appropriate goals, building in feedback, and empowering individuals. As a manager of teams of varying types, I focused on helping individuals refine a broad set of skills that enabled them to reach goals faster, while maintaining balance across their professional and personal priorities. I now bring that experience to my consulting and coaching work to enable leaders to create purposeful work cultures that build trust, accountability, resilience, and collaboration. What I believeInnovative and influential organizations are built by people who have the opportunity and are inspired to contribute their best every day. The most impactful leaders are able to bring out the best in their people. Emotional intelligence can be developed and is required to lead high performing organizations. Who I am I am deeply passionate about helping people achieve their dreams and exceed all goals. I love to learn and am happiest when exploring new ways to live and work better. I am endlessly fascinated by the unique qualities of each person. Nothing is better than coconut cake, a good independent film, traveling the world, an engaging dinner party, or a road trip with my family.
