This new year's day I bumped into Sharmin's website. I was very intrigued as I went through her story of career change and how she followed her passion. I knew sharmin as a teacher 15 years ago when I was an undergrad student of Computer Science in her class. I knew whatever she was upto would be of high quality. I decided to seek her help to find a direction in my life - I signed up with her for life coaching.
After having her as my coach for last two months I know It has been a great privilege for me. It has literally redefined me and helped me in ways that I didn't think would ever be possible. The scientific process she followed during the life coaching process felt like magic.
I can't write enough about the achievements and progress that I made so far working with her. I am looking forward to work with her again soon. I wish her the best and I strongly believe that anyone who got her as a life coach is very lucky!

I had the opportunity to work with Sharmin and was able to establish open and honest communication from day one. Her experience helped me identify joint opportunities quickly and her personality helped foster these relationships. While working with her I was impressed with her intelligence, knowledge and ability to quickly understand the needs of my complex situation. She was a very approachable, supportive and interested in helping others. She exhibited a professional and gracious manner and took a sincere interest in developing people and encouraged people, including myself to be the best.

I started the coaching session with Sharmin at a time when I have been feeling overwhelmed with the activities related to my academic, professional and personal lives. In the very first session Sharmin created a positive environment to make me feel safe and guided my thoughts very well, at the end of that 30 minute I smoothly landed on the prioritization activity. Even though I am very independent and I make my own decisions, I was amazed that with Sharmin’s coaching I was able to make even better decisions that I am already getting the benefit of. Sharmin is a strong listener; she nicely summarizes my view point keeping the essence intact. I have known Sharmin as a good friend who listens very well, now I am impressed by her professional service as a great coach as well.

I know Sharmin for several years now. We worked closely together in the high-tech industry as peer managers. I have more than 15 years of experience in the high tech industry and very confident in my abilities both as a contributor and as a manager. Once I had a management issue in my hands, I walked into her office and asked for a feedback. I didn’t have high expectations when I did that, but very quickly realized that I found a person who can think differently and offer a valuable alternative perspective. Sharmin has become my unofficial “sounding board”.
After some time, Sharmin has followed her passion into becoming a professional coach. I admire that she was able to make such a radical career change, especially during uncertain economic times when high-tech salary is a good source of comfort and stability. Most of people I know only talk about how they would like to make some radical changes in their lives and Sharmin was one of the very few who actually did it.
Even though we don’t work together anymore, we still stay in touch and I have an opportunity to get coached by Sharmin. It is great to see Sharmin to fully express herself in an area where she has so much passion and talent. I’m expecting even greater things to come from her as she continues to blossom in this area. I feel lucky to know her.
