Coaching with Dr Archana Tyagi - Vidya Nair Shares her Experience

Last week, Dr Archana completed three coaching sessions with the first candidate - Vidya Nair. In these two sessions, first Dr Tyagi discussed her major areas of concern in her personal and professional life using a Life Balance Wheel. Vidya discovered new insight in to her untapped potential area, which is writing. Playing with words comes naturally to her. At her professional front Vidya wants clarity related to the learning and development/organizational development area. 

Here is what Vidya sent us about her experience –

I was going through a semi-low in my life right now. I felt lost despite working in HR, Admin and BD this year. I have been involved in various industries/ sectors in a variety of roles of my career. I wondered often what was I doing and why couldn’t I do more.  

I have a 3 year old boy and my husband is in a career transition stage. Add to this my own personal crisis, I could not help but feel despondent and was becoming a very stressed and a negative person. I resigned last month and am currently serving my notice period. 

I was earnestly looking for someone to talk to, for someone to listen. Someone without bias who could understand my confused thoughts and emotions. You might think, not likely. Such a person is surely heaven sent. And yet SHEROES facilitated just that. SHEROES organized Career Coaching Sessions with Dr. Archana Tyagi who has volunteered some of her time and energy to 'give something back'.

I am not sure what I was expecting when I had my first session with Dr. Tyagi, I was just desperate to try. I am a very private person but Dr. Tyagi had me relaxed and being completely open during the session. I went in with so much stress and fear, but came out so much more lighter. We have had 3 sessions together so far. She has helped me identify my strengths and preferences through psychometric analysis. She has also been very candid in her feedback, making sure I leave with a wholesome outlook and a peaceful yet thoughtful mind. 

I am so grateful and humbled that someone with her experience is willing to reach out and help those who are lost find their way. Dr. Tyagi's greatest gift is that she makes you believe that you are capable and have the answers to the questions that plague you. She is able to advise me on such a broad range of concerns and though she may not know the exact answer to a question she was still able to point me in the right direction. Additionally, there are things that she has not explicitly told me but I have learnt by just hearing her talk about her own experiences. 

I still have 4 more sessions to go and already feel uplifted when thinking about it. There are times when things happen in your life and you feel truly blessed, for me the time I spend with Ma’am is exactly that. I am glad I had the courage to ask for help, because my call was indeed answered- It was Heaven Sent.
