Feel a sense of gratitude connecting with Smriti who excels in creating a precious space for one’s personal reflective journey.

The program made me realise that so many fears were holding me back from realising my true potential. I returned as a very changed person.
I changed the way I reacted to situations around me and surprisingly, when I changed, people around me changed in my favour.
That's what Mind Over Matter does for you, it brings about an internal shift in the way you think and feel which changes the way you behave with people and situations which puts you on a path to SUCCESS!
For me Mind Over Matter is an investment in myself. Thanks Smriti for making this possible.

Smriti has a very unique approach of program delivery that helps the audience to stay connected throughout. She is a thought leader who beautifully builds up that comfort and confidence for her clients and seamlessly connects the expectation to delivery. I had the opportunity to work with Smriti on two different events for CII IWN and Hitachi Energy and she has been fantastic. Knowing you is an absolute pleasure and I look forward to many other engagements in future.

Smriti is an insightful and hands-on coach. Every session left me empowered and lead me to down avenues I had never imagined I would walk. She has a gentle and calm demeanor, and her high EQ allows her to tune into her client's space. Smriti does not use a one size fits all approach to training, but takes time to understand context and culture. Her coaching has helped me get clarity and left me confident.

With a new coach you never really know how it's going to turn out. There are so many professionals now involved in coaching, with such variety, it is difficult to find your way to a great coach. I was lucky in finding Smriti; someone with such flair for this work it was an absolute delight! Smriti understands issues so fast and is also able to hear tension and frustration intuitively. It is so rare to have a coaching conversation which is at the same time so in-depth, makes you feel so heard and so clearly understood. She is terrific at creating awareness. Her intuition and her language coupled with her direct communication as a way of inducing questions into the conversation is as good as anything I have experienced in the last 10 years or more with a coach. I would recommend her unequivocally to anyone as a coach in any business context.

I first met Smriti during a Coach Training Program as part of my ACC journey. Smriti was there as a mentor coach and I was very impressed with her observation, feedback and reflective questioning skills. Her feedback during the course helped me immensely in my learning process. It was only obvious for me to continue engagement with her when I was looking for a facilitator/ coach for my Organization. During my stint with Dassault Systemes Smriti facilitated several programs for our first time manager, and people managers on topics to build compassion and connectedness. She uses coaching skills in facilitation and that makes the experience very reflective for the learners. I have had great feedback for her sessions and we have ended up doing multiple batches on the same topic. I highly recommend Smriti to organizations that aim to bring a change in the mindsets of their leaders to achieve bigger goals.

The Mind over Matter workshop by Smirti Goel was one of the most effective self learning journeys I have ever been on. The exercises and activities, which form part of her workshops, are real eye openers and help people make their own discoveries, so each person has a different take away from the sessions.
She also conducted a custom learning workshop for our senior leadership, where she was able to convert even the most skeptical and reluctant attendee into a curious participant.
Smriti has a rare ability to quietly lead people into self learning and understanding while staying on the fringes, which makes the workshops more effective. Her wide and rich experience of handling people across the globe shows in how she is easily able to handle people across the age groups and designations.

Mind over matter is a transformational journey not only for people who are in trouble but who want to make their better life even better.
Change is the only thing which is constant and Smriti Goel with her Mind Over Matter BLUEPRINT can make you realise your dreams with her experiences and well presented videos and sessions.
This helped me in exploring myself and have become focused and a happy person.
The Blueprint tasks were an eye opener for me to make the necessary changes to live a fulfilling life with acceptance irrespective of circumstances. I found out my strengths, qualities, purpose and my values.
Mayuri Patil
ICT Professional Hyderabad, India
Smriti is a great coach. Empathetic and challenging in equal measure and with the skill to know when and which of her many tools is required. Through her sensitive approach and style which embodies professional curiosity I found myself uncovering a deep personal reality. Whilst I was already aware of some aspects of this, Smriti helped me explore things that were deep below the surface and uncover the reality of what I was putting in my own way. Smriti, seemingly effortlessly, helped me do that and more. If you are looking to achieve deep insights into how you could approach familiar problems in a different way, get out of your own way and achieve more - I can thoroughly recommend Smriti.

Smriti is an excellent coach. I worked with her as part of the Coaching Fellowship and it was a wonderful experience. From the very first session she was extremely helpful in helping me navigate a potential job change. In the subsequent sessions, she got to know me quickly and every session was meaningful. Having concluded the sessions, I can see tangible results and will work with her again. I highly recommend Smriti, especially to young women professionals.
Alexandra Kulinkina

I admire the patience and dedication with which Smriti crafted a session for a small group of us. The time she gave prior to the session helped curate a meaningful and powerful engaging session for each of us, that resonated with all of us. A combined session of experience sharing, fundamental guiding philosophies, and practical tools to visualize and take follow up action. An enriching session that I hope more individuals find access to, to explore their true potential. Thank you so much.

I would like to express my gratitude in being coached by Smriti. As I write, I vividly recollect our sessions and at my confusion or even helplessness sometimes. Smriti helped bring about substantial balance in this roller-coaster called 'LIFE'. I admire her ability to evoke plausible responses and not judge me. Thank you for being part of journey Smriti, thank you for nudging me a little over the edge. I'm more confident, I'm content. Keep up with what you do! 👍

Mind over Matter has been nothing short of transformative. The program appeared to be tailor-made for me. It forced me to take cognisance of my situation, evaluate it and come up with actionable solutions.
Mind over matter helped me to accept and understand that I was completely incharge of how I wanted to script my life. It was okay to put my file and my needs on the top of my priorities. Having done that, I would highly recommend the program for everyone who is ready for change.

I interacted with Smriti during a project of Competency Assessment for one of the organizations. She comes with a clear thought process and can understand Business requirements very promptly. She has an excellent blend of emotional quotient and knowledge of tools to evaluate Human behaviour. It was a pleasure working with her and I wish her great success for her journey to empower employees.

When I decided to invest in myself, I didn't even think I would have a life changing experience. A person I respect a lot recommended Smriti and it has been one of the best decisions in my life to have her as a coach. She really does believe in teaching you how to swim, so that you don’t need her after a while, which is a refreshing change. I hope I can consistently put to use what I have learnt and experienced during our sessions. Thanks a lot for all the help.

Mind Over Matter BLUEPRINT gave me hope, and I discovered my values which made me feel worthy.
I understood how to take responsibility for my choices. I realised that there is ALWAYS a solution and I can take action to resolve my problems.
I no longer have the need to compare myself to others and can feel fulfilled in how I attend to my needs.
I got answers to my questions and I got to know what works for me personally...
Aarushi Gupta
Young Women Professional Delhi, India
Smriti is a very insightful and intuitive coach. She asks questions that make you reflect at just the right moments. Often I wonder how she was reading my mind better than I could. I especially enjoyed the visualization exercises she guided me through.
Over the course of the Coaching Fellowship, Smriti helped me rethink the unconscious rules and standards I put on myself, get in touch with what felt authentic internally, and then find better ways to communicate that externally. I’ve regained more energy, a sense of calm, and my playfulness, all while in the storm of co-founding a startup. I cannot thank Smriti enough for all her trust and wisdom during this time.
Tiffany Tong

I learned the power of coaching through Smriti. We started in late 2020 and the person I was then and the person I am now are visibly different - more confident, kinder, and open. Smriti creates a safe space to talk about my inner most beliefs. I am also more confident as a professional. Our sessions give me ideas and the courage to start new things even when I don't have all the answers. I hope others around the world will have the chance to be coached by Smriti like I di
I connected with Smriti through the Believe in Yourself (BIY) program. She is one such professional coach who will help you to discover potential in yourself. She helped to understand concepts in a simple and articulative way. Thank you very much Smriti !

Smriti Goel is a fantastic coach with a range of tools at her disposal that she uses to help you understand and make discoveries about yourself, your vision and purpose, life and career choices and where you want to be.
What I liked best about Smriti was how she made me feel completely at ease during our time together, so that I was able to relax and share my concerns, and also be open to receiving answers leading to understanding and clarity.
I cannot recommend Smriti highly enough as a Life and Career Coach.

Smriti is one of the most complete and honest consultants I have worked with. She is willing to delve into the unknown without losing focus. Hence is a great asset when breakthrough work is required. I am always looking forward to working with her.
Rajan Chhiba (Late)
Smriti worked with us from 2003-2007 and set the benchmark for us in terms of her thorough approach; her combination of sense of ownership, commitment to quality, 100% reliability and depth of research of her topic have not been surpassed since. Combined with a mischievous sense of fun, she was a high value team member whom we were sad to lose when she relocated to Nigeria, and now London. We wish her all the best wherever she goes, and she will always be welcome back in Bangalore.

Dear Smriti, I want to say thank you so much for the just concluded coaching session we had.
Although our 8 sessions over 4 months flew past so quickly, the lessons imparted, tips and skills shared remain with me. You are a good listener and patiently guided me through our sessions to dig deeper and challenge myself.
I have moved from a place where I was not sure what my next plans should be to a place where I am up for the challenge. From a place where I had so many questions to a place where I have a plan and am able to set my goals.
I looked forward to every session as it helped uncover my inner strength.
Thank you so much Smriti, thank you thewia.org and Cartier Women Initiative for the sponsorship. Best wishes, Jife

Smriti Goel is highly sincere, dedicated coupled with rich experience in executive coaching. I had an opportunity to have Smriti for the Hogan assessment - to understand non-cognitive attributes that impact leadership, decision-making and interpersonal skills. She is very meticulous and structured in her coaching process. I highly recommend her for executive coaching and personality development.

Success Stories: Mind Over Matter
‘Mind Over Matter’, the two-day workshop I attended in February this year, left a deep impact on me. The course was structured so well that it appeared to be tailor-made for me and for most of the participants too, I am sure.
Smriti and Karen made the sessions very interactive and got us all participants connected and involved, so much so by the end of two days, we kind of felt we knew each other for long. Every topic was relevant, and the exercises after every topic made us experience and appreciate practically what was taught. For example, the sessions and activities on patterns of communication was a real eye-opener, as to how communication can make an impact in any relationship.
Until I attended the course, I was not aware of how many limiting beliefs I had acquired over a period of time. These beliefs were always restricting my actions and tying me up in my safety net. The best part of the course was to make me imagine the impact/outcome of letting go of these beliefs in the immediate future and beyond. This imagination made me sort of look into my future, the difference in me when I let them go. This left a clear impression in my mind.
The course made me challenge myself constantly to come out of comfort zone. It made me realise how I am solely responsible to make my dreams come true. Thanks to the training, I can say, my confidence levels have surely increased, I weigh out my options with an open mind, and I am more happy and content.
It is never too late to change ones behavioural patterns for a better and fruitful life. I very strongly recommend this course to anyone who wants to change their lives for the better and make their dreams come true.

Mind over Matter has been nothing short of transformative. I was at a point that you would call a 'crisis of meaning' in my life. Deeply embroiled in self pity on how everyone and everything was to blame for what had become 40+ years of life without an underlying meaning to it.
The mention of the workshop happened plenty of times and I even had friends who signed up and were singing praises of what it did for them, I however was sceptical.
I finally decided to test the waters for myself when I was already in a deeply submerged state of mind with my turmoils. From the word go, I was genuine in my attention and wanted for this to work for me. The program appeared to be tailor-made for me. It forced me to take cognisance of my situation, evaluate it and come up with actionable solutions. There are no directions or advice from anybody, but rather a step back on analysing human behavioural patterns and thought processes that loom larger than their perceived effect. Most of the exercises were fun and delved into our psyche non intrusively. Two days went by without a dull moment. The evenings were heavy with soul searching and headaches too.
A few months have gone by since the workshop. Both the people around me and I are amazed at the metamorphosis in me. I am raring to go in life and I fully understand that there is no one else to accept the blame or the accolades. Mind over matter helped me to accept and understand that I was completely incharge of how I wanted to script my life. The only thing that was coming between me and where I wanted to get was a lack of significance for self. It was okay to put my file and my needs on the top of my priorities. Having done that, I would highly recommend the program for everyone who is ready for change. It was transformative for me.
