Aleesha has helped clients get into these companies:
I am an Integral Coaching. What this means is, I work with my clients at the level of the “root cause.” So instead of just being focused on the What and How, we go deep on the Who and it's through that lens we make progress together. I support my clients to connect more fully to their overall life purpose and trajectory, while taking steps to resolve whatever is the most pressing need or opportunity. In addition, I: - View each of my clients as an integrated whole: one who is shaped by their history, circumstances, relationships, and environment - Support my clients in living in a more integrated way: bringing our full selves to every part of life, opening up possibilities, driving sustainable change, and experiencing more fulfillment as a result - Believe development happens not only through insight but through integrating those insights into our bodies with practices, including meditation and movement This approach is based on my training with the New Ventures West Integral Coaching methodology that integrates teachings of many movements, traditions, fields of study, and people.

About Aleesha
Hi, I'm Aleesha! After 15+ years of leading brand, marketing, and research at mission-driven startups and technology companies (LinkedIn, Digit, Brightwheel) and Fortune 100 companies (Nike, Chase, J&J), I now work directly with individuals as an Integral Leadership & Career Coach. I take an integral, values-driven approach to coaching and specialize in partnering with those who are feeling stuck, seeking growth, or transitioning careers. Throughout my career, I have experienced my fair share of lows (getting laid off, feeling burnt out, being stuck in a toxic environment), highs (getting promoted, gaining responsibility, becoming a leader), and transitions (from consulting to client-side, individual contributor to people manager, interviewee to hiring manager, big company to start-ups, B2C to B2B, mentee to mentor, full time job to freelancer, and many more). And so as your coach, I pull from these experiences and guide you by asking the important questions all with the goal of moving you towards the career and life you want. I'm also a proud dog mom, amateur yogi, hummus lover, marketing & research consultant, and a new found minimalist after a 2-year roadtrip across 25+ cities.
Why do I coach?
I coach to make an impact and be in service of others. I achieved this clarity about my purpose and values from working with my own coach a few years ago, and I hope to be able to do the same for you--so you too can live your life, personal and professional, with more clarity, intention, and joy.
