Payal Nanjiani
"One of the most influential executive coaches”
TIMES GROUP
Payal Nanjiani is a globally acclaimed Indian-American executive coach, leadership trainer, and New York award-winning author.
She advises and coaches leaders of Fortune 500 companies, CEOs, SMEs, and government officials—as they navigate leadership transitions, succession challenges, and the increased complexity that comes with scale and responsibility — supporting them at critical moments of leadership growth and transition.
Payal’s work focuses on leadership readiness—helping capable leaders move beyond performance plateaus that are not visible on the surface but show up in decision-making, influence, presence, and execution.
Her SuccessWithin™ methodology enables leaders to identify and shift the internal constraints that quietly limit effectiveness at senior levels.
Leaders who work with Payal don’t just follow frameworks or templates. Instead, they develop a quiet confidence within, gain clarity in moments that truly matter, and cultivate the inner credibility to lead decisively across functions, stakeholders, and uncertainty.
Her approach supports leaders stepping into larger roles, preparing for CXO and C-suite responsibilities, or recalibrating their leadership as expectations change.
The result is an inside-out shift that enables leaders to operate with greater confidence, judgment, and impact where it matters most.
