Archana Shetty is an executive leadership coach and mentor. Her expertise is in emotional intelligence and peak performance. She empowers leaders to become impactful, inspirational leaders of the next generation without burning out. She is the founder of Next-Gen Leadership, a model for transformational leadership based on evidence-based practices to develop emotional intelligence effectiveness and well being for impactful leadership. Archana is also the host of an online leadership summit, The Inspirational Leadership Summit, which will be aired November 5 to 7, 2019. She is an ICF certified coach and a certified coach and facilitator with Daniel Goldman’s emotional intelligence program.

Archana has a rich and deep career history beginning in her college years where she aspired to become a doctor, but she did not get into medical school even though she was an excellent student. Instead, she studied for 6 years and became an Ayurvedic doctor.  She maintained a practice until she married and moved to Qatar where she was not licensed to practice.  Undaunted, she dove in and studied computer science, business, and leadership.  From there she worked in IT systems and project management in the radio and TV media industry and later in financial services.  She experienced layoffs and many career transitions. Today she is an executive leadership coach and mentor with her own practice.

In this episode we discuss:

  • How Archana was raised in India, with both of her parents having to work hard to make ends meet and how that taught her that there is no substitute for hard work.

  • One of her most heartbreaking experiences and the huge life and career transition that came from that.

  • How Archana always wanted to be an entrepreneur, to do something that would make a difference in people’s lives. But how she was scared because she was taught that a 9 to 5 was safe.

  • Archana began to think about leadership and how she wanted to lead after learning how NOT to lead.

  • The common thread Archana sees between being a doctor and being a leader.

  • How she views building a support system.

  • The Inspirational Leadership Summit that Archana is hosting, November 5-7, 2019.
