Partner with Minal

Minal facilitates transformative leadership retreats that help teams stop avoiding the hard conversations and start addressing the real patterns creating dysfunction. 

Retreat Formats:

• Strategic Leadership Retreats (2-3 days): For leadership teams needing to align on vision, address dysfunction, or navigate major transitions (mergers, growth phases, leadership changes). Minal helps teams surface the real issues—not just the safe ones—and redesign systems to support new behaviors.
• Culture Design Workshops (1-2 days): For organizations wanting to intentionally design culture around specific values and behaviors that support mission delivery. Goes beyond posters and platitudes to observable behaviors and system design.
• Team Alignment Sessions (1-2 days): For teams experiencing conflict, misalignment, or unclear roles and decision-making. Minal helps teams name what’s really happening and commit to specific changes.

Her approach combines behavioral science, systems thinking, and the kind of emotional stamina that allows her to stay present when things get uncomfortable—because that’s often when the breakthrough happens.

Minal delivers research-backed, story-driven keynotes that shift how people see problems—and themselves. Her talks blend behavioral science, real-world examples, and her signature ability to make audiences feel both challenged and understood.

Featured Topics:

• Conscious AI: How to Use AI Ethically Without Getting Left Behind: AI is here, and mission-driven leaders face a choice: engage thoughtfully or cede the field to less conscientious actors. Minal shows how to reduce AI bias, protect privacy, and keep human judgment at the center while leveraging AI’s power. The middle path between uncritical adoption and fearful avoidance.
• How to Design a Thriving Workforce: Moving Beyond Awareness to Systems That Make Fairness Inevitable: Most organizations get stuck at awareness—run the workshop, share the data, nod… and nothing changes. Drawing from her award-winning book, Minal reveals how to move from awareness to impact through human-centered design and behavior change science.
• Emotional Maturity: Forget Executive Presence, Focus on What Actually Works: “Executive presence” has become code for conformity. But what leaders actually need is emotional maturity: the ability to stay present when things get uncomfortable, manage their own reactions, and create conditions for breakthrough. Minal provides a roadmap grounded in psychology and behavior change science.
• Leading Through Uncertainty: Building Resilient Teams When Nothing Feels Stable: How do you provide direction when you don’t have all the answers? Drawing from her work facilitating leadership teams through crises and disruptions, Minal reveals what actually helps teams navigate uncertainty and provides practical frameworks for building psychological safety in unstable times.

Minal works one-on-one with executives and leadership teams navigating change and adversity. She walks alongside leaders through the difficult terrain—not just strategy, but the personal work required to lead through complexity.

What makes her coaching different: Her psychology and organizational development background means she sees both the individual leader and the systems they’re operating within. She doesn’t just help you develop skills—she helps you understand the patterns you’re caught in and redesign your approach to leadership.

Coaching Format: Weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly virtual sessions, with email or phone support between sessions for real-time guidance during difficult moments.
