Senior Leadership Coach, GlobalGyan Leadership Academy|Change Management & Strategy Facilitator|Two Decades Across Banking, Entrepreneurship & Leadership Development
Priyanka is a leadership facilitator and coach at GlobalGyan Leadership Academy who works with managers and senior leaders on Change Management, Strategic Thinking, Leadership and Business Acumen. With two decades of experience spanning investment banking, entrepreneurship, counselling psychology, business-school teaching and leadership development, she brings together commercial understanding with a strong behavioural lens — helping managers move from knowing frameworks to applying them in the decisions and people challenges they face every day.
Organisations whose leaders Priyanka has worked with
Priyanka's facilitation draws on experience that ranges from an investment bank to a counselling room, from her own entrepreneurial venture to a business-school classroom. That combination is what makes her approach to change and strategy distinctive: she understands how organisations make commercial decisions and how people respond to them.
At GlobalGyan, she works with managers to move beyond knowing leadership frameworks to applying them — to the decisions, trade-offs, people challenges and organisational changes they face at work.
Facilitates leadership-development programs and workshops for middle and senior managers across Change Management, Strategic Thinking, Leadership and Business Acumen. Works with organisations including Godrej, Mahindra, Aditya Birla, ELGi, Daimler, Airtel and Biotek Ortho.
Taught Leadership, Team Building, Organisational Behaviour, Business Acumen and Change Management at business schools in Mumbai — developing the ability to make complex management concepts accessible without stripping away their rigour.
Built and managed her own venture in business communications, gaining first-hand exposure to entrepreneurship, customers, operations and the everyday realities of running a business — a foundation that makes her commercially grounded in the work she does today.
Her early career in investment banking provides an important commercial foundation for her facilitation work in strategic thinking and business decision-making. This experience shapes how she connects financial understanding with leadership behaviour.
Completed counselling work and mental-health training and workshops, including with Manas Foundation. Her PG Diploma in Guidance & Counselling Psychology deepens her understanding of how people interpret uncertainty, loss of control and shifting expectations — central to any change leadership program.
Priyanka works with managers on the human and business sides of change — helping them interpret organisational priorities, make better trade-offs and bring people with them through transformation. Every program is contextualised to the organisation's own business conditions, stakeholder landscape and strategic agenda.
Helping leaders recognise resistance, communicate change, build stakeholder commitment and translate transformation priorities into actions teams can own.
Helping managers see the choices and trade-offs behind their decisions — and understand how their team's work connects to the organisation's broader business outcomes.
Supporting managers as they move from individual expertise to broader leadership responsibility — covering team dynamics, influencing, and leading people through change.
Helping leaders connect their functional decisions with the wider economics and priorities of the business — so decisions are evaluated beyond the boundaries of a single function.
Understanding how individual behaviour connects to teams, culture and organisational priorities — so leaders act on the system, not just the individual.
Building the skills to bring stakeholders along — especially in matrix structures, cross-functional contexts and periods of significant change.
Mapping who needs to move, where resistance is likely and how to communicate change so people understand what is expected of them.
Understanding the problem a framework was designed to solve — and using it to generate decisions, not just fill in diagrams.
A selection of leadership development journeys across sectors — each contextualised to the organisation's business conditions, manager profile and learning objectives.
Helping Circle Head managers anticipate change, manage resistance and guide teams through transformation — using the Kubler-Ross Curve, the 5C Model and a personal change-readiness assessment.

Read case study →Priyanka writes about the gap between how strategy and change frameworks are understood and how they are applied — and what managers need to do differently to close that gap.
"Her teaching style is fantastic, and she explains concepts in a clear and engaging way that makes learning easier. The sessions were both informative and enjoyable — she has a genuine ability to bring complex leadership ideas to life."
"Priyanka's session gave me practical frameworks that I have been able to apply directly to my day-to-day work. Her approach made strategy feel relevant and actionable — not just conceptual. I left with a clearer sense of how my role connects to the company's strategic aspiration."
Priyanka's distinctive quality is not any single qualification — it is the combination. Five professional worlds, each adding a different dimension to the way she works with leaders today.
Organisations rarely struggle because managers have never heard of change management or strategy. The harder challenge is application — turning frameworks into decisions and behaviours teams can act on.
