Sharmista Raja
Partnering with professionals navigating significant life and career transitions — rebuilding confidence, clarity, and direction.
Enquire About This Coach14 years building people inside some of the world's most demanding organisations. Now coaching the people those organisations depend on.
Sharmista Raja spent 14 years as a Leadership Development Professional, Trainer, and Coach inside organisations including Infosys and Amazon — two of the most demanding environments in global business. That work gave her deep expertise in learning facilitation, behavioural training, emotional intelligence, and what it actually takes for individuals to shift — not just understand, but genuinely change how they show up.
With 10 years of dedicated coaching experience and ICF ACC certification, she now works with professionals navigating significant transitions: career shifts, personal setbacks, role changes, and the kind of crossroads moments that require both clarity and courage to move through. Her approach is built on her own experience of rebuilding — and the conviction that rebuilding from experience is never starting over.
The answers are already within. She asks the questions that help people uncover them.
Sharmista's coaching is characterised by the kind of safe, non-judgmental space that allows genuine honesty to emerge. Drawing on her extensive background in behavioural change, communication, and emotional intelligence, she blends structured coaching frameworks with deep listening — helping individuals move from confusion and inertia to clarity and confident forward action.
- Career and life transition coaching — helping individuals navigate role changes, career inflection points, and the identity questions that accompany significant professional shifts
- Confidence and self-belief development — rebuilding the internal foundation that high-pressure environments and difficult experiences can erode over time
- Emotional intelligence and communication — practical development of the interpersonal skills that distinguish capable professionals from effective leaders
- Behavioural change facilitation — drawing on 14 years of applied learning facilitation to help individuals move from intention to consistent, real-world behaviour change
Engage Sharmista when your people need direction, not just development.
