“I appreciate her expertise. It was not simply business coaching but also helping with my personal development as a leader, entrepreneur, and early-stage startup founder.”
-Minsuk K. (AI Startup Founder and CEO, San Francisco, CA)
You’re a CEO, with a great product, and you love what you do.
What you need next is the communication tools and confidence to move your business forward.
Sounds good, right?
Your next question is probably, “How do I start?”
But the question you need to ask instead is, “How do I change the way I communicate?”
For Leaders, Communication Is Everything
You’re running a company, pitching to investors, and managing a team — but some days it feels like it could all fall apart.
You:
Walk into a pitch unsure what to say and wishing you had the right words to inspire confidence and close the deal
Leave meetings replaying every word, second-guessing if you sounded confident or competent.
Feel drained by constant handholding and frustrated when people still don’t “get it.”
Navigate conflicts because people aren’t collaborating and working in their lane.
Know you’re a capable visionary, but you can’t express it clearly when it matters most.
Communication breakdowns don’t just drain your energy –they cost time, trust, and opportunities.
And you can’t really talk about it to anyone. You don’t want to unload on family and friends all the time or show doubt to your team. The pressure is stressing you out, making every day more difficult than it needs to be.
Communication Breakdowns = Slow Growth
Every miscommunication has a price:
Lost funding or clients
Team disengagement and turnover
Delayed growth and decision fatigue
It’s not your product or potential that’s holding you back. It’s the communication skills no one ever taught you.
But no more…
You built a business.
You can also learn how to harness your communication.
That’s when you show up as the best version of yourself and
✔️ form valuable connections that bring in opportunities,
✔️ walk into pitches, presentations, and high-stakes situations calm and confident,
✔️ lead meetings that inspire clarity and action,
✔️ build trust so your team runs smoothly, and
✔️ feel confident while you lead.
Because these are learnable skills…
and when you master them, you lead stronger, scale faster, and grow with ease… knowing you’re taken seriously as a leader.
When you’re ready to uncover an easier, better way to communicate that invites respect while building trust and credibility…
Placing You in the Best Position to improve profit margins, team engagement, and move your business forward…
That’s when you get on my calendar so we can talk about how The Transformative Communication Method™ 1:1 Leadership Coaching program will work for you.
Hey Leader! I’m Sunita 👋🏽
Your Leadership Coach in San Francisco, CA
I show leaders how to harness their communication for
better opportunities,
employee retention, and
ultimately increase profit margins.
I noticed after years of being in industry, that despite having strategy, funding, and innovation, even high-performing leaders struggle with what to say and how to say it.
I know that there’s ONE foundational piece that determines your success and whether people trust you enough to follow your lead, buy from you and invest in you— and that’s your ability to communicate.
The Transformative Communication Method™, is a leadership coaching program I designed to help business leaders like you, strengthen the soft skills of
communication, emotional intelligence, and relationship-building
—that drive meaningful business results.
My background bridges human behavior and business. I hold a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology, a degree in Business Administration, and multiple coaching certifications. I worked in accounting and financial services before founding my first business in 2013.
That’s why my leadership coaching integrates business strategy with behavioral insight.
Sessions with me are both reflective and practical, giving you tools to:
Stay calm and confident under pressure
Communicate with clarity and empathy
Build trust and independence within your team
Navigate high-stakes conversations with more ease
Leaders who develop these skills don’t just communicate better—they build stronger teams, make better decisions, and create meaningful business results.
Research from Harvard Business Review, Cornell University, and Reuters continues to show that emotional intelligence and communication directly influence productivity, retention, and profitability.
And in the age of AI, these human-centered skills aren’t just useful—they’re a genuine competitive advantage.
"I appreciate being able to learn and practice these [assertiveness, non-verbal communication] skills. Thank you for being so approachable ."

This unique integration bridges science and strategy, so leaders get practical tools to transform the way they communicate and lead.
In 1:1 coaching, I break down the communication skills and strategies into doable pieces so you have what you need to transform your communication, your leadership, and your business. We will focus on the communication challenges that matter most in your world.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s)
about the Transformative Communication Method™ Leadership Program
Leadership Coaching San Francisco, CA
-
It’s coaching designed to strengthen how you communicate — with customers, investors, employees, business partners, stakeholders and peers. You choose where you want to focus. In our sessions, you will uncover leadership and communication skills and strategies, and receive coaching on how to implement them so you lead more effectively and with greater confidence.
-
This is for Startup founders, CEOs, other C-suite executives, entrepreneurs, and business owners who want to communicate effectively with clarity and confidence. You can be in any industry, a new leader or seasoned. If you’re not sure how this will help, schedule a call and we will talk about if this is right for you.
-
Yes, if you choose to focus on this area. You’ll learn how to communicate your value naturally, get your point across, ask the right questions and answer their questions. You’ll learn how to build relationships with trust, so clients feel excited to work with you and say yes more often. While this isn’t about teaching you sales and marketing, knowing how to communicate to potential clients and customers is essential for business success.
-
This is not a course or training in public speaking or in pitching to investors. That said, we will cover the best strategies that help you stay calm, focused, and compelling during pitches, speeches, and high-stakes meetings.
You bring the content you want to present, and together we go over how to address the needs of your audience and develop executive presence so you’re taken seriously.
-
Not at all! I’m based out of San Francisco with the option to meet in person but we can meet online via video from wherever you are located.
-
I’ll be honest: This will not work for you, if you do not try. If you do not practice and implement the tools and strategies, you probably won’t see a positive change. Also, your goals must be realistic-we can go over your expectations when we talk to see if it’s something I can help you with before we begin. I want to make sure you have a good experience and get what you need so if I can’t help you, I will let you know.
How to make this work for you: You’re a leader, and you’re empowered to make this work for you. If you are willing to be open to shift your perspectives, engage in new behaviors, implement them consistently, and be open to feedback that helps you improve, then this is likely to work out amazingly for you. As one client said about her experience, “You get what you put into it. If you’re willing to put time and energy, you will get something out of it. These are lifelong tools and you get to keep these tools forever.”
I cannot make guarantees, because there is much that is out of my control. But what I can promise is that if you choose to work with me, I’ll do my best to help you succeed. Deal?
-
You will learn powerful tools from day 1. Depending on how soon you implement and use them, you can notice a difference within a few weeks, provided you are consistent at it. But this isn’t an overnight fix. You’ll see steady growth as you practice, recalibrate, and integrate new ways of leading. Some weeks will feel energizing, others more challenging—and both are part of real progress.
My mission is to teach the skills that can help you communicate, connect, and show up with calm, confidence, and leadership presence … hopefully, that’s what you want. But success depends on consistent practice and application. I can't speak exactly to what results you'll have, and I hope you can understand that.
-
The investment is $4997 per individual, with payment plans available. Special discounts are available for multiple leaders. If communication struggles are costing you sales, opportunities, or peace of mind, the ROI is enormous. In numerous studies, coaching has been found to provide companies with significant return on investment.
You get to determine where your leadership can make a big difference and be worth your investment in elevating your communication and presence. If you need help figuring that out, book a call and lets chat about it.
-
If communication struggles are causing conflicts with others, costing you sales, opportunities, investment, growth or peace of mind, those costs will continue and persist. If there’s some area where your leadership and communication could save you from these struggles or propel you forward, then why delay or procrastinate… Book a call today!
-
Most leaders are busy and I get that. While this program is designed to make things easier overall, any transformation requires some time and effort.
Here’s what you can expect: Sessions are weekly, about 45-60 minutes each for 12 weeks. Each week there will be tasks to implement that are relevant to what you’re working on. On average, it might take about 20-30 minutes of your time each week. If you’re working on something critical, an hour might be useful. Tops.
I’ve broken this down into clear, manageable sections. You'll still need to learn and apply the concepts, but I've organized everything to make the learning process as straightforward as possible. You'll have access to clear instructions, examples, and personalized help when you need it.
-
No, this is not therapy. While psychotherapy focuses on resolving mental health problems and delves into the past, coaching focuses on active steps to reach your goals. Coaching focuses on your future and moving forward.
Although I am a psychologist and a coach, I don’t provide psychotherapy to coaching clients. If through the course of our coaching it seems you may benefit from psychotherapy, I will refer you to a licensed therapist.
-
There isn’t a program out there that helps leaders become better at communication like this; not that I have found yet. That’s why I designed this program to help business owners and executives with all the aspects of communication and relationships that are important for leaders to become better leaders and build business success.
If you’re seeking leadership coaching and trying to choose the right coach or right program, book a call so we can chat about whether this is right for you.

Make no mistake: Leadership is the key to your success
(and it’s 100% in your control)
With the impact of AI, the value of how you’re communicating with your team, customers, clients, and business partners, with truth, clarity, and depth is more necessary than ever.
That’s why you know
the thing that people really value is whether you can
communicate clearly and powerfully, forge a connection, and have the ability to build positive, long-lasting relationships.
On some level you know this, or you wouldn't be here,
Which leaves you with 2 CHOICES:
#1
You can either continue questioning and wondering, doubting if what you're doing is the right thing, using pressure to guide your decisions, force more productivity from your employees, and chase business success while feeling overwhelmed and stressed…
Or…
#2
Join The Transformative Communication Method coaching program where you will uncover the strategies for effective, clear, and confident communication that leads to greater productivity and stronger collaborations that can ultimately provide the path to scale your business.
If #2 is calling out to you, I can’t wait to help you make it happen.
