The Challenge: The Loudest Voice in the Room Was the One Inside His Head
Aarav (name changed) was 35.
A Project Head at a reputed BFSI firm.
Dependable. Smart. Relentless with deadlines.
The kind of person everyone turned to… but rarely saw.
Despite years of impact, he remained in the shadows.
He wouldn’t speak up in leadership meetings.
He let others take credit in group calls.
He over-prepared and still felt underqualified.
He was stuck in the exhausting loop of imposter syndrome.
People said I had potential. But inside, I constantly heard:You’re not good enough. You’ll be exposed one day.
This wasn’t about skill.
It was about self-perception.
His brain was wired for fear and doubt.
Even small interactions felt like pressure tests.
At home, he smiled. At work, he masked.
Inside, he felt invisible.
THE TRIGGER
It wasn't a breakdown.
It was a simple LinkedIn comment.
One evening, a colleague posted about a promotion.
Aarav had done the groundwork on that project
But he wasn’t mentioned—not once.
That night, something snapped.
I realized… I’m playing small and hoping to be seen. But no one recognizes stars that don’t shine.
That moment became a turning point.
Not to prove others wrong—
But to finally show up for himself
The Coaching Process: From Shrinking Voice to Steady Presence
Aarav signed up for a 1:1 program with Mindset Coach Praful, beginning with a tailored Executive Presence Mindset Audit rooted in:
NLP (to rewire his self-narratives)
CBT (to challenge mental distortions and overthinking)
Somatic Tools (to calm anxiety in high-pressure situations)
Identity Mapping (to reconnect with strengths, not just skills)
Key Coaching Themes:
Voice Reclamation – Learning to speak from inner alignment
Confidence Rituals – Tools to override the autopilot of doubt
Executive Energy – Subtle presence techniques that elevate credibility
Boundary Setting – Moving from over-functioning to balanced delivery
Emotional Regulation – Handling performance pressure with poise
THE BREAKTHROUGH MOMENT: The Day He Heard His Own Voice—And Believed It
Week 8 of coaching.
Monthly review. Regional heads.
Aarav stepped up to present.
No scripts.
No overthinking
.Just presence.
After his crisp 8-minute talk, a senior VP said:
“You should lead cross-functional projects. You’ve got presence.”
Aarav smiled.
Inside, a silent shift happened.
“It wasn’t about them noticing me. It was about finally seeing myself.”
THE OUTCOME:
From Overthinking to Owning the Room
Before Coaching | After Coaching |
Chronic self-doubt & second-guessing | Quiet confidence rooted in values |
Imposter syndrome in high-stakes settings | Authentic executive presence |
Feeling invisible at work | Acknowledged as a leadership track performer |
Over-functioning to prove worth | Clear boundaries, increased impact with less effort |
Defined by output | Defined by presence and clarity |
He was no longer The Invisible Star.
He was the quiet force everyone started noticing.
