Bhavna Karani - Leadership Coach
Leadership Coach | Mentor and Career Coach | Learning Designer & Facilitator | Co-Founder & Chief People Officer, Mindslines

Because great managers aren’t born, they’re built.
I help new and emerging leaders grow into the kind of managers their teams truly deserve.
I became a coach to provide spaces of reflection and growth to others. When I first stepped into leadership, I wasn’t lacking drive or dedication — but I was missing something essential: guidance. I didn’t know how to truly lead. How to communicate with clarity, inspire trust, and navigate complex dynamics while staying authentic.
That’s why today, I coach emerging leaders, first-time managers, and high-potential professionals to lead with presence, purpose, and confidence.
If you’re stepping into a new leadership role — or growing into one — I’m here to support you. Because leadership isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about showing up with intention, curiosity, and the courage to lead from who you are.
🎯 What it's like to work with me
Many of my clients come to me feeling overwhelmed, unclear, or disconnected from their leadership role. Not because they aren’t capable — but because no one taught them how to lead people, not just processes.
Together, we work to:
- Bring clarity to complexity
- Build leadership presence and emotional intelligence
- Shift from self-doubt to grounded confidence
- Develop a conscious leadership mindset that aligns with who they truly are
My coaching style is calm, close, and honest. I hold space where people feel safe to open up, reflect deeply, and be gently challenged.
Clients often tell me, “You really see me.” And when we feel seen, growth becomes possible.
