Leaders' Learning Lounge
A Peer Group Coaching Program for Senior Leaders ( Director/VP/Startup C-level)
Program Summary
In today's highly ambiguous, complex world leaders can feel isolated. A trusted peer group more crucial than ever. However it is not easy to find such group and create such forums. That's why I created this Leaders Learning Lounge for you!

Build confidence, find support, and learn how to inspire and engage yourself as well as your team for sustainable success.

Why Peer Group Coaching?
"The benefits of small-group coaching come from powerful learning interactions among leaders who aren’t on the same team but are roughly equal in experience and position, and the process can generate leadership development impacts that exceed what’s possible in one-on-one coaching."
(Source: The Surprising Power of Peer Coaching)
Since summer of 2022, I have been running a another peer group for mid-career professionals, Tech Leads' Coaching Circle. It provided a safe and non-judgmental space for members to share ideas, give and receive feedback, and support each other's professional growth. As a result, members reported qualitative improvements in their thinking and professional abilities and a sense of camaraderie and community that is often difficult to find in the workplace. Since then many leaders reached out with the request to create a peer group for senior leaders.

Sharmin Banu
With 25+ years of experience in technology and executive coaching for Fortune 500 companies and startups, I specialize in guiding clients on goal-setting, emotional intelligence, feedback, executive presence, navigating politics, conflict resolution, and work-life balance. Clients dub me "a force of nature" for driving personal and professional transformation. As your coach, I tap into your inner resourcefulness, neuroscience theories, and client stories. I facilitate collective growth in group sessions through questions, reflection, and peer conversations.
I have a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) from the International Coaching Federation and an MS in Computer Science.
I had been working with Sharmin during a crucial career transition when she suggested I join her group coaching. It turned out to be an invaluable resource for me. At that time, I hesitated about pursuing graduate studies alongside my leadership career, the group reassured me with shared experiences. While 1-1 coaching sessions facilitated decision-making, the group discussions enriched insights from fellow leaders. Leadership journeys can be solitary, but they become personalized and supportive with an executive coach and a diverse peer group. Sharmin fosters this supportive environment in every session, harnessing the collective wisdom of exceptional leaders. I wholeheartedly advocate for such group coaching to empower more leaders in their career progression.
The reason for the incredibly low pricing is that it is a beta version of a brand new program
