Untangling Individual Knots

Ruchira has coached leaders across the globe – CEOs, MDS, Board members, middle managers and aspiring managers with the sole objective of helping them become a better version of themselves. She does that first, and foremost by providing clarity – perhaps the most vital ingredient in this leadership coaching mix. She helps untangle the jumble of thoughts a leader’s head that have formed complex knots by organizing them into distinct strands. She connects, and weaves these strands helping leaders form their own unique patterns of success.

An MBA from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business with a specialization in business strategy coupled two decades of executive roles in emerging markets, middle east and north Africa in the area of human capital/organization strategy – helps Ruchira seamlessly marry the world of business with a nuanced understanding of people challenges, and motivations.

Her book “Coaching: The Secret Code to Uncommon Leadership” published by Penguin Random House, and endorsed by luminaries like Sheryl Sandberg and Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw (both in the Forbes Most Powerful Women 2020) offers the best of what she has gleaned in her coaching and consulting career. While many excellent books have been written about leadership, talent and coaching, this is a rare gem that stands boldly at the intersection of leadership and coaching. Exploring some of the key ingredients of impactful leadership, the book will be useful to leaders, aspiring leaders and especially those that wish to transition from being just good leaders to extraordinary ones.

Ruchira teaches and frequently coaches MBA students, and senior business executives as affiliate faculty at several business schools – SMU, NUS and IMD in Singapore, The University of Chicago Booth School of Business, Asia and most recently, the London Business School.

She teaches subjects ranging from Post-Merger Integration (what happens after you ink that deal), Leader as Coach, Negotiation Skills, Conflict Management, VUCA and Organizational Strategy among several others to both MBA students, and seasoned executives. She frequently partners with the executive education cell of several business schools on executive coaching and delivering custom leadership programs for their corporate clients.

A much sought-after keynote speaker, and moderator, Ruchira is often invited to moderate strategic panel discussions, webinars and seminars across the globe.
