– S.R.
Founder, Tech Start-up
“I had the distinct pleasure of working with Phyllis through a number of 1:1 coaching sessions as I grappled with an incredibly dynamic time in my life.
I am a technology entrepreneur, new father, husband to an amazing wife and an engaged citizen of our amazing San Diego community and so I am constantly striving to keep a number of plates spinning at any given time. My sessions with Phyllis were incredibly timely as I navigated the many challenges in scaling a startup while investing the time and energy into my family and also prioritizing the restorative activities that I needed to invest in myself in order to bring my best to all other facets of my life. Once I had articulated what really mattered to me, Phyllis guided me to identify actionable methods and ways for me to ensure that I was on a path to prosperity and well-being as defined by me and nobody else. I continue on the journey to apply the principles and concepts that we worked on together and I am deeply grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Phyllis. I would recommend Phyllis for anyone looking to level up and capture the true essence of what matters to them in life and business.”

Phyllis Sarkaria has been my executive coach for some time, serving as an accountability partner through numerous organizational challenges and
changes. She quickly learned the dynamics of our organization along with our business objectives and provides valuable personal support in that context. Her thoughtful approach has included push back in ways that help me think differently and often provides timely resources between our touchpoints that help me foster collaboration on my teams. Having Phyllis as a coach has supported my insights and effectiveness as a leader. I recommend her as a coach.
