Not everyone wakes up one day knowing they’re a leader. For many, it’s a journey of self- discovery — and Poornima Shejal has made it her life’s mission to walk that journey with them.
With more than 19+ years of experience, Poornima has helped people from all walks of life step into their potential — not just by teaching leadership skills, but by helping them truly see themselves as leaders. Whether you’re a first-time manager unsure of your next step, or a senior executive feeling stuck in routine, she helps bring back what we often lose in the rush
— Clarity, Confidence, and Purpose.
Her sessions aren’t about bullet points or corporate jargon. They’re about people. People who feel overwhelmed by expectations. People who want to do better, lead better, and feel more in control of their journey.
One of her most loved tools is the Vision & Action Board — something simple, yet incredibly powerful. It helps people visualize where they’re going, why it matters, and what actions will get them there. Participants often say that just creating their board helped them reconnect with goals they’d forgotten or dreams they’d buried under deadlines.
Through her company, BeLeader, Poornima has worked with a wide range of clients — from fast-scaling startups to global enterprises. But what sets her apart isn’t the brand names on her client list — it’s the personal transformation her sessions ignite. She brings an emotional intelligence and authenticity that’s rare in the leadership development space. People often describe her sessions as life-shifting, not just skill-building.
Her process — Assess, Design, Coach, Engage, Measure — ensures that no two sessions are the same. Everything she does is customized, thoughtful, and focused on real-life transformation. Whether it’s through one-on-one coaching or team interventions, the change she brings is visible — better conversations, healthier teams, more decisive leaders, and people who actually enjoy leading again.
And because she believes leadership growth should be accessible to everyone, she also created an online course for new managers on Udemy called “Get Into Your Role Quickly – First Time Manager” — a practical, easy-to-follow resource for anyone navigating their first leadership role.
She also regularly shares insights and reflections through talks, webinars, and panel discussions, making leadership development feel approachable, inclusive, and grounded in real-life experience. Her ability to blend structure with empathy — and strategy with soul — is what makes her approach resonate across diverse industries and leadership levels.
Ask anyone who has worked with her, and you won’t just get feedback — you’ll hear stories. Stories of professionals who once doubted themselves and now lead with assurance. Teams that once struggled with conflict or low morale and now operate with trust and cohesion.
Leaders who were burning out and now lead with renewed energy and joy.
Poornima’s work is a reminder that leadership is not about titles or positions — it’s about impact, intention, and inner alignment. She meets people where they are, and guides them
toward where they want to be, often unlocking potential they didn’t know existed. Her calm presence, deep listening, and practical wisdom make her not just a coach, but a catalyst. In every session, she plants seeds of clarity and courage that continue to grow long after the training ends. For anyone seeking not just to lead better, but to live better, Poornima Shejal is a guide worth learning from.
In a world that often rushes past the human side of work, Poornima Shejal brings people back to what matters — growth, purpose, and the kind of leadership that starts from within.
