"What truly sets Nita apart is that she is not just talk; she consistently shows up in authentic ways, providing tangible support and focusing on solutions. Her deep care for our success has been evident in every interaction, and her support has made a meaningful difference in advancing Crisis House’s ability to serve vulnerable individuals and families.”

"Working with Nita truly made a difference for me. What stood out most was how kind, patient, and genuinely invested she was throughout the process. She created a space where I felt supported but also challenged to grow. I walked away with more confidence, clarity, and belief in myself than I had before. I highly recommend Nita to anyone looking for a coach who truly cares and leads with both skill and heart."

Thiago Lopes, CEO and President, American Insight

"Having taps on the back feels good and it is what most of people do when you accomplish stuff in life. However, I believe I should strive for being 1% better each day. Having the authority to question and to challenge one who has already accomplished a lot is not for amateurs. That is when I met Nita as a speaker in a session where she challenged me to improve and do better. She is someone that looks outside the box with a unique approach and point of view.." 

Jalaja CK, Vice President Anudip

"Our engagement with Nita was deeply impactful. From the outset, she demonstrated an exceptional ability to understand our organisational landscape, the operational nuances of our programs, and the larger mission that drives our work. Her approach combined analytical rigour with a genuine human-centred perspective, allowing her to strengthen our research design, refine our analytical frameworks, and bring clarity to complex questions..”

Holly McKay, Women in Business, SDSU

"Dr. Umashankar captivated our large club with her insight, presence, and ability to translate complex ideas into meaningful, memorable takeaways. Her depth of expertise is matched only by the confidence and grace with which she carries herself. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Umashankar as a guest speaker for any organization looking to spark inspiration, encourage critical thinking, and create a truly engaging experience for their audience." 

Daniel Moore

"I could recognize Nita's warmth and compassion from the beginning of our sessions. She was able to identify weak points in my conversational skills and self-presentation that I hadn't considered, as well as to challenge me and to reinforce performance feedback I'd received before. Perhaps her biggest impact was encouragement for me to pursue a PhD, a life dream that I had set aside."
