Manisha’s Story
Manisha developed a profound passion for her work driven by a multitude of life experiences. Early memories of her father’s entrepreneurial journey, building a company from scratch in their garage, left an indelible mark. Witnessing the evolving business landscape and its impact on their family sparked her interest in financial stability and adaptability.
In their twenties, Manisha faced significant health challenges, including a chronic illness diagnosis. Navigating this chaotic period was a daunting task, marked by uncertainty and personal turmoil. Overcoming this adversity required immense effort, resilience, and determination.
The journey also featured numerous career changes, driven by both curiosity and a desire to break free from stagnation. She recognized the need to embrace change, an insight honed during her tenure in change management at Deloitte. One memorable encounter involved a client’s extreme reaction to change, symbolized by a shoe hurled across a meeting room. This incident prompted Manisha to delve deeper into the emotional aspects of change, providing vital support to individuals and organizations undergoing transformative shifts.
Her commitment to guiding others through change stems from personal growth and a genuine desire to facilitate smooth transitions during periods of massive changes. Manisha’s unique perspective, derived from her own life journey, enables her to be a valuable partner and source of support in the face of significant transformations.
