Hi, I’m Harshita 👋🏼
An award winning career coach, mentor, and corporate culture navigator with over a decade of experience in finance and tech across New York, San Francisco, and London. My journey has equipped me with the insights and tools to help others thrive in their careers.
The Early Days: Stepping Into the Corporate World
At 21, I stepped into the corporate world with wide-eyed enthusiasm, armed with the belief that excelling at my job and building a network would pave the way to success. Little did I know that I was about to embark on a journey that would challenge me in ways I never expected.
The Reality Check: More Than Just Good Work
The first few years were a whirlwind of learning and growth, but also of confusion and self-doubt. I quickly realized that there was more to corporate success than just doing good work. Office politics, bureaucracy, and the unspoken rules of the game often left me feeling lost and overwhelmed.
The Facade: Confidence on the Outside, Doubt on the Inside
On the outside, I appeared confident and put-together. My career was progressing well on paper - moving through prestigious positions in finance and tech, working in some of the world's most vibrant cities. But internally, I grappled with imposter syndrome and a lack of confidence that no one else could see.
The Turning Point: The Power of Mentorship
The turning point came when I encountered a few exceptional managers who became mentors and friends. They took me under their wing, showing me how to navigate office politics and bureaucracy effectively. These relationships were transformative, highlighting the crucial role that sponsors and mentors play in career development.
The Breakthrough: Embracing Authenticity
It took seven years of ups and downs, successes and setbacks, before I felt I had truly learned to be unapologetically myself in the corporate world. I discovered how to build the right relationships, let go of those that no longer served me, and stop letting negative thoughts occupy my mental headspace.
The Mission: Empowering Others
Now, eleven years into my career journey, I've found another calling: helping others navigate the complex landscape of corporate life. My mission is to be the mentor and coach I wish I had when I was starting out - to equip you with the tools, insights, and confidence to navigate your career journey with resilience and purpose.
