"Eternally Grateful - Excited to Continue My Journey"

Dr. Reddy is a consummate professional with an incredible depth of tools that she masterfully leverages depending on the need of the situation. I always feel completely comfortable and that she genuinely wants to help me better understand and navigate challenges in my life to achieve greater balance. Her space and demeanor create warmth and welcoming environment in which clients can comfortably discuss and explore. She also impressively and seemingly effortlessly helps me to address challenges in both my personal and professional life. She pulls from her own experiences where applicable and has provided me a number of helpful tactical exercises to put concepts into practice to help achieve true mental and behavioral change. Beyond individual impact, Dr. Reddy is also an accomplished thought leader in the space of leadership and team effectiveness, another opportunity I may consider as we continue my partnership. I am eternally grateful for having found her - I am excited to continue my mental health journey and highly recommend others to consider her when exploring their own.

"Results That Lasted Months and Years After Our Work"

Dr. Reddy is an excellent coach and facilitator. During my tenure at US Dream Academy she helped me build a cohesive shared leadership model with a multi-site, multi-state team. Our work together was well received by the site directors, but even more importantly is the results our work brought to the participants many months and years after our work. Any organization can benefit from Dr. Reddy's support.

"25+ Years of Expertise Plus Lived Experience Makes Her Exceptional"

If you ever have the opportunity to meet Dr. Sheela Reddy, take it—you won’t regret it. I first met Sheela when I took a leap and introduced myself to a table of women at a SHRM event. That simple introduction led to an invitation to a Women’s Leadership Retreat at her home—an incredibly powerful and inspiring day filled with women from all walks of life, openly sharing their experiences, challenges, hopes, and dreams.

Since then, I’ve had the privilege of reconnecting with Sheela, deepening our conversations about leadership, resilience, and life. During a dinner at her home, I sat beside her and learned about her journey—growing up in India, moving to the U.S., navigating immense challenges, and overcoming a significant health battle. But what stood out the most was how effortlessly she creates space for deep, meaningful conversations. I found myself staying well past 10:30, sharing my own challenges as an entrepreneur and a mother, and she listened with such genuine care, offering thoughtful guidance that truly resonated.

Sheela has an extraordinary gift. Her warmth, wisdom, and ability to help others feel seen and supported are unparalleled. As a Trauma-Informed Licensed Leadership Psychologist, a Certified International Leadership Coach, and a Published Keynote Speaker, she brings over 25 years of expertise to her work, but it’s her lived experiences and authenticity that make her truly exceptional.

Dr. Reddy has helped me both in my personal and professional life. As a visual artist, creative journaling has been an invaluable tool for me. we work on monthly and weekly goal setting, to keep me focused and moving forward. I am more aware of what structures work for me, and when I may be taking on too much! Thank you so much Sheela!

“The Testimonial Quote”

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Dr. Sheela Reddy over the last 12 years and I can confirm that her leadership coaching offers something rare and vital: clarity, a grounded presence, and intentional action. She won’t just guide leaders through change — she helps them meet it with emotional intelligence and a deep-rooted resilience that empowers sustainable growth.

Her work stands out because it’s not just about tactical decision-making; it’s about helping leaders lead from within. She creates space for them to pause, reflect, and reconnect with their values so they can respond, not react. That inner alignment fuels courageous, thoughtful leadership — especially when the path ahead is foggy.

She helps leaders see uncertainty not as something to be feared but as a landscape to navigate with self-awareness, empathy, and purpose. That’s the heart of her coaching style: supporting others in becoming more human, more present, and ultimately more effective — even when the stakes are high.

“The Testimonial Quote”

I have known and respected Dr. Sheela now for about 20+ years! Not many stand out as she does in the areas of leadership and coaching. Her experience with EI and resilience comes from a strong understanding of how people function. I have witnessed her evolve and hone her ability to navigate uncertainty. Being able to work through difficulties, make intentional decisions and genuine ability to care for others are at the center of her success. Anyone fortunate enough to work with her will land in a better emotional space. Thank you for all you do :)
