Empowering professional women to find clarity, confidence, and career growth. 

 

Together, we can create a sustainable way of working that fits your life, not the other way around. You don’t have to figure it out alone. 

Meet your coach

Aparna Kumar Costa

I work with busy, high-performing professional women at the mid-to-senior level who are ambitious, overwhelmed, and juggling career demands with their lives outside of work.

​

You don’t have to figure it out alone.

​

With 20 years of experience in business consulting and corporate risk management at a leading global professional services firm, I understand the nuances of complex corporate environments and what it really takes to lead with confidence

​​

As a leadership coach, I offer 1:1 personalized support to women who are managers, directors, and VPs to achieve clarity, confidence, and career growth:

​

  • Navigating career success while managing constant urgent requests, competing priorities, and the invisible mental load

  • Letting go of guilt for saying no and making intentional choices about where your time, energy, and attention are spent

  • Setting clear, realistic, and sustainable boundaries

  • Strengthening your executive presence and voice

  • Navigating career crossroads and determining the next step in your career path

  • Finding a balance between ambition and caregiving responsibilities

  • Creating a sustainable way of working that fits your life, not the other way around

 

Trained through American University, I use an approach rooted in empathy, deep listening, and authentic connection to provide a safe space where we cut through the noise. 

​

Together, we can create a sustainable way of working that fits your life, not the other way around.

"Working with Aparna during a particularly difficult moment in my career was incredibly valuable. I was navigating a sensitive situation at work, and she consistently asked the right questions, helping me think more clearly and prepare for important conversations with senior leaders. I especially appreciated that she never pushed me toward a specific outcome or decision. Instead, she guided me in a way that helped me realize I hadn’t fully thought through all the possible paths.

 

Throughout our conversations, Aparna also showed great humanity and kindness. She understood the emotional toll the situation was taking and created a space where I felt supported while still being challenged to think more deeply. Her thoughtful approach helped guide me toward better outcomes and gave me the confidence to navigate a complex time at work successfully. I had never worked with a coach before and wasn’t sure what to expect, but the experience was both grounding and practical. I wouldn’t hesitate to reach out to Aparna again as I continue to grow and navigate my career"
