About

I'm Neha Mandhani, an Executive Coach and Leadership Development Consultant dedicated to humanizing the workplace. My journey has been a blend of tech, marketing, and mindfulness—from working in management consulting and product marketing at LinkedIn and BetterUp to teaching restorative yoga. Today, I help leaders at companies like Airbnb and Adobe navigate 'the messy middle' by integrating 'being' with 'doing.' I’m deeply passionate about psychological safety, self-leadership, and the power of the 'pause' in our always-on culture. Whether I'm facilitating a workshop or writing my Substack, my goal is to create spaces for reflection and genuine connection. I offer 1:1 coaching and leadership consulting for those looking to lead with compassion and accountability, and I’m always eager to connect with others who value inclusive, human-centered organizational cultures.

Opinions

  • Compassion, care, and self-awareness are essential leadership superpowers, not soft skills.
  • The traditional career social contract has dissolved, leading to a collective crisis of identity.
  • Good leaders must hold themselves accountable, apologize, and repair relationships.
  • Workplace humanity requires infusing play, fun, and rest to bring out the best in teams.
