We were lucky to catch up with Vibha Sharma recently and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Vibha, really happy you were able to join us today and we’re looking forward to sharing your story and insights with our readers. Let’s start with the heart of it all – purpose. How did you find your purpose?
My journey to becoming a Holistic Spiritual, Personal Transformation, and Mindful Leadership Coach is woven into the fabric of my life experiences. Throughout my existence, I found myself playing the roles of a support system, a coach, and an advisor for family and friends. People gravitated toward me for advice, feeling at ease sharing their problems and exploring solutions together. It became apparent that, without consciously realizing it, I had been a catalyst for positive change in the lives of those around me. Feedback began to echo a consistent theme: in the midst of casual conversations during events or get-togethers, people discovered valuable insights for pivotal life decisions or were inspired to embark on creative endeavors like writing a book.
Recognizing that guiding others towards solutions came naturally to me, and fueled by my long-standing passion for personal development and spirituality, I decided to take the plunge into professional coaching. I immersed myself in certifications, equipping myself with the tools to assist clients across a spectrum of challenges.
On this journey, the daily affirmation of positive feedback from clients serves as a compass, validating my purpose and mission. It’s a harmonious fusion of innate inclination, learned expertise, and an unwavering commitment to helping others unlock their full potential. Life’s twists and turns led me here, and every client success story is a testament to the alignment of my passion with a profound sense of purpose.

In the realm of mindful leadership, personal transformation, and navigating the corporate waters alongside high-level executives, my brand isn’t merely a service—it’s an immersive experience. I specialize in collaborating with individuals, particularly high-level executives and C-level executive women, to curate a journey that transcends the ordinary.
As a coach, I embrace the role of a Holistic Spiritual Guide, honing in on Personal Transformation and Mindful Leadership. What distinguishes my brand is its steadfast commitment to mindful leadership—an approach intricately weaving self-awareness, empathy, and strategic vision into the very fabric of executive and personal development.
For me, working with high-level executives isn’t just a professional facet; it’s a fervent passion. There’s an exhilarating thrill in partnering with individuals at the pinnacle of their fields, guiding them through the intricate dance between professional triumphs and personal fulfillment.
Now, let’s shine the spotlight on C-level executive women. In a landscape where leadership dynamics are evolving, empowering and uplifting women in executive roles is pivotal. My coaching transcends the traditional narrative—it’s about breaking glass ceilings and crafting a blueprint for sustainable success. It’s about fostering resilience and ensuring that every step forward is a celebration of authenticity and achievement.
But the journey doesn’t halt there. We delve into the intricacies of stress management, providing tools to navigate stormy seas with calm assurance. Conflict resolution becomes an art, transforming challenges into opportunities for growth and collaboration. Performance isn’t just about achieving goals; it’s about surpassing them with finesse.
Confidence, that magnetic force propelling leaders forward, becomes a cornerstone. We sculpt it, and nurture it until it emanates from within. Amid the hustle and bustle, self-care becomes non-negotiable. True success isn’t just reaching the summit; it’s relishing the journey, ensuring every stride is a testament to personal well-being.
To manage daily stress self-care is extremely important. In the world of self-care, prioritizing mental health stands out as paramount. An essential practice I advocate for is the integration of daily meditation into our routines. A common refrain from those I work with is, “I want to meditate, but I don’t know how,” or “I’ve tried meditation, but it just doesn’t work for me.” I find solace in helping them navigate this seemingly elusive practice, witnessing a transformative shift in their daily well-being.
Guiding hundreds of individuals through meditation, I’ve observed a common starting point: the initial hesitation or belief that meditation is beyond their reach. However, with a bit of direction and a gentle challenge, a profound change occurs. Witnessing this transformation fuels my gratitude for being able to impart the gift of meditation.
I often commence with short 2-3-5 minute daily meditation sessions, easing participants into the practice. Following the guided meditation, I encourage them to extend their meditation, allowing the lingering sense of inner peace and calm to settle in. This process has proven immensely effective in altering their daily emotional landscape.
My book, “Turn Within – Reconnect with Your Inner Peace and Well-being,” delves into the profound impact of incorporating this life-changing practice. It serves as a guide for seamlessly integrating meditation into our lives, emphasizing the potential for inner peace and enhanced well-being. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08F2PGXVR?fbclid=IwAR1_CeIutq-yUzRE3tyhn_FQJrVJuEt9DPS7_p5cFZ1D6hGm0-VJWvj1aZ8

As for what lies on the horizon? Brace yourself for workshops unraveling the intricacies of stress management, decoding the art of conflict resolution, and amplifying performance, confidence, and self-care strategies. It’s not merely a workshop; it’s a roadmap for navigating the complexities of leadership and life with mindfulness and authenticity.

We’re not just crafting success stories; we’re co-creating a legacy of mindful leadership and empowerment.
