She gives very actionable todos after each session. This helps with the learning. I had read about some of
the communication frameworks that Smita covered in the class. But she helped me uncover their power by asking me to apply the same in my day today life. E.g. on one occasion I used her teachings to give not one
but three feedbacks to one of my peers! I was very concise and precise in my feedback and it landed well with the person! Had I not taken her coaching, I wouldn't have been able to do it as effectively. I highly recommend Smita and would love to work with her again!
