Welcome - I am
Dr. Gitima Sharma

Through evidence-based coaching, mentoring, and consulting, I partner with women professionals and leaders to help them achieve purpose-driven career success, leadership impact, and mental well-being.

Drawing on 15+ years of research and lived experience as a professor, mother, and leader, I’ve supported 100+ women and partnered with organizations including Google, Stanford University, Thermo Fisher Scientific, and the University of Washington—helping leaders move from burnout to clarity, confidence, and impact.



Personalized Coaching & Mentoring

As the Founder of CoachInspire, I provide evidence-based coaching, mentoring, and consulting for women professionals and leaders who feel stuck, unseen, or on the edge of burnout.

I support women to:

• Gain clarity and step confidently into leadership roles and promotions.
• Turn their expertise into consulting opportunities that generate income and impact.
• Replace self-doubt with confidence, a strong sense of identity, and purpose-driven momentum.

My mission is to help build a century of women leaders who thrive—with career success, meaningful impact, and mental well-being.

If you’re seeking clarity, leadership growth, or stronger mental well-being, I would be honored to support you.

Bring Purpose-Driven Leadership & Mental Well-Being to Your Organization

Through evidence-based keynotes, workshops, and purpose-driven leadership training, I help teams strengthen clarity, well-being, and leadership effectiveness—especially during times of change—so they can create meaningful and sustainable impact.

Trusted by Google, Stanford, Thermo Fisher Scientific, the University of Washington, CCAPW, and more.

If your organization is ready to build a culture where success and mental well-being grow together, I would love to collaborate.
