About Me
Shivani is a NYC-based career coach with experience across corporate and nonprofit sectors, helping professionals secure values-aligned roles with competitive growth potential. At Merit America, a national workforce development nonprofit, she worked at the intersection of employer partnerships and career placement, giving her direct insight into both what hiring managers look for and how candidates can best position themselves.
Her coaching is practical, strategic, and fully tailored to your goals. Sessions may focus on resume and LinkedIn optimization, networking strategy, interview preparation, or compensation negotiation. She also supports clients in translating their experience across sectors, identifying environments where they can thrive, and clarifying what matters most in their next chapter. For those seeking deeper direction, she integrates values and skills assessments to strengthen clarity and decision-making. Many clients also use this space to navigate mindset shifts, build confidence, and quiet self-doubt.
Shivani is particularly skilled at helping clients articulate their "why" and shape their strengths into compelling professional narratives — especially for those pursuing meaningful, mission-driven work with competitive pay. The process is adaptive and evolves as your priorities shift, so you can move forward with focus and momentum.
