PVT’s Coaching Philosophy

Everyone can be a Leader; only if they think so!

PVT believes in the power of building goals & dreams first & then graduating individuals to achieve higher performance & focus by self-discovery of hidden capabilities, honing existing skill set & instilling confidence & self-belief. Her coaching focuses on the present leading to a successful future, fostering human performance in a business context helping individuals discover their higher potential. She specializes in transformation coaching with a unique combination in both Business as well as Life Wellness skills greatly attributed to her successful professional run as a business marketing leader coupled with expertise in Mental Wellness & Physical Fitness. She is best at being a quiet disruptor, a creative curator, a quick connector. Her inherent passion lies in facilitating "inner skill" of P&B (People & Business), diagnose the possible problem, remove mental barriers with tools of neuroscience, and hand craft opportunities by co-creating customized solutions. Harmonize personal & professional goals & thus assist in achieving transformational mental model change leading to building a growth mindset.

PVT's TELEVISION STINT

When she trains shy leaders and transforms them into fluent public and camera-facing speakers, many ask her about her prowess. Well, when the foundation is strong, the fruits are going to be sweet. PVT’s acting career began as a side hustle to challenge herself to push beyond what she thought was possible. From a RJ to a theatre artist, followed by acting stints and cameos in leading TV shows like Urmila as a second lead of the show, Cameo’s in Kya Hoga Nimmo Ka, and CID Special Bureau, this experience gave her strong foundational learning and finesse about effective public speaking and camera-facing skills. Her theatre stints honed her presentation skills in the corporate world; when she steps on any stage, she simply owns it. This creative learning did indeed help her become a huge personal brand and one of the best-known media training coaches. She used this skill effectively to become an effective personality, a change maker for non-publicly speaking business leaders, transforming them into transformed and confident industry spokespersons, facing the camera and the public with ease and oodles of confidence.

As she went on to build a strong corporate career, she successfully handled a vast array of portfolios, adding value to brands with her creative and agile bent of mind.
