What Our Client Say
I, Lalitha Thirunavukkarasu, joined as the Principal of Vani Vidyalaya on 18th May 2026, through Prayaas.
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Prayaas for the guidance and support extended to me during the initial phase of my new leadership role.
When I joined the institution, I was faced with several new challenges and was initially unsure about how to approach and prioritise them effectively.
I began my career as a Teacher and later served as a Department Head in Matriculation and CBSE schools. I subsequently took up leadership responsibilities in schools following the International Cambridge and British National Curricula in the UAE, including the role of Phase Leader. On returning to Chennai, I continued in school leadership roles for nearly ten years across CBSE and Cambridge schools.
I had the opportunity to attend six mentorship sessions with Ms. Trayee Sinha, and her guidance made a significant difference to my transition into the new role.
Her mentoring helped me gain clarity on how to approach my first three months in the new institution. Based on her guidance, I was able to develop a clearer vision, focus on the right priorities, and approach the challenges with greater confidence. More importantly, she helped me recognise how my existing knowledge, experience, skills, and areas of expertise could be effectively utilised to contribute positively to the institution.
The mentorship gave me a renewed sense of confidence and energy to move forward, address challenges constructively, and implement my ideas in a systematic manner. Ms. Trayee also guided me on how to identify the right channels and strategies to address my needs and take the institution forward smoothly.
I am truly grateful to Prayaas for providing such meaningful mentorship support and to Ms. Trayee Sinha for her patient, insightful, and practical guidance during this important transition in my professional journey.
Thank you, Prayaas, and thank you, Ms. Trayee, for helping me begin this new chapter with greater clarity, confidence, and purpose.

I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude for the coaching sessions you conducted for me.
When I began this coaching journey, I had very little understanding of what coaching truly involved and what I could expect from the process. I was also somewhat reserved and hesitant to open up initially. However, your calm, composed, and supportive approach helped me build trust in both you and the coaching process.
One of the most valuable aspects of this experience was learning how to explore my thoughts more deeply and uncover solutions from within. Your guidance enabled me to gain new perspectives, challenge my assumptions, and recognize that many of the answers I seek already exist within me. This realization has been both empowering and transformative.
Thank you for investing your time, patience, and expertise in helping me develop greater self-awareness and clarity of thought. The insights and learnings I have gained through our sessions will stay with me for years to come. I am committed to applying these learnings in my professional life to become a more effective leader, make better decisions, and create greater value for my team and organization.

My Journey with Prayaas:
Coaching sessions through Prayaas have been personally very insightful in understanding my new role as a leader. Through Ms. Trayee’s guidance and techniques I have been able to independently identify goals and chalk out ways to attain them.
Sequential sessions with Ms. Trayee have further enhanced my strategies to approach people and processes. Most importantly I have been able to recognize areas of self-improvement.
I am looking forward to a holistic development for myself, currently and in the future.

Transformational Coaching Experience with Ms. Trayee Sinha
My journey with Ms. Trayee Sinha has been life-changing, helping me unlock my potential, gain clarity on my goals, and create a structured path to achieve them. A key breakthrough was preparing my goal board, which provided direction and renewed purpose.
What made this experience remarkable was the non-judgmental, empowering approach that allowed me to discover solutions within myself. It removed mental blockages, aligned my focus, and transformed how I approach challenges with ease and new perspectives.
A major revelation was balancing logic and creativity, enhancing my decision-making, communication, and time management. Most importantly, it reinstated my confidence, helping me overcome self-doubt.
Today, I stand as a more composed, structured, and empowered individual. I am deeply grateful to Ms. Trayee Sinha and Prayaas for this transformational journey.

Turning insights into tangible steps, this is what Life Coaching has achieved for me.
Sessions with Ms. Trayee provided a non-judgmental space to vent my anxiety, frustration, and fears. They offered clarity, motivation, and a renewed sense of purpose. She patiently helped me probe the recesses of my mind to seek answers—answers that were not ‘hers’ but ‘mine’! Which is why they worked for me.
Results-Actionable goals that emerged from my emotional, mental, and even spiritual reserves. And Oh! It felt so good to be listened to, on my own terms!
I found myself making decisions, responding thoughtfully, addressing team issues professionally, complaining less, and taking more action. On the personal front, I set fitness goals and mindfully journaled my thoughts.
One profound lesson stays with me—people are catalysts to success, not barriers.
Ms. Trayee was to me what Iron is to the Haber’s Process—an essential catalyst in my transformation.
The impact has been powerful. I once read that the right things happen to the right people at the right time. I do wonder if I would qualify for the above statement.

Testimonial for Prayaas Coaching Sessions with Trayee Sinha
Participating in leadership coaching has been one of the most impactful experiences of my professional and personal journey. The coaching process provided me with a structured yet flexible space to reflect on my leadership style, Clarify my goals and navigate challenges with greater confidence and clarity. I could explore my leadership journey with honesty and intention as well.
What stood out most was the way my coach guided me to uncover insights rather than offering quick solutions. This empowered me to develop my own strategies and take ownership of the growth. I‘ve become more intentional in how I communicate, manage time, make decisions and build a team.
What sets Prayaas apart, is its focus on both personal and professional growth. The coaching encouraged deep self- awareness, align my actions with my values and challenged me to step out of my comfort zone. I now better understand my strengths and blind spots which have had a positive ripple effect on my team culture and performance.
I am deeply grateful for the support and insight I received through Prayaas. It’s more than a coaching- It’s a catalyst for a meaningful change. I highly recommend it to any leader looking to grow with authenticity and impact.

Testimonial for Prayaas Coaching Sessions with Trayee Sinha
I had the privilege of being coached by Ms. Trayee Sinha from Prayaas, and the experience has been truly life-changing. The sessions gave me much-needed direction on where to begin and how to look at my role in a broader context. For the first time, I felt I had a roadmap that connected my individual responsibilities with the bigger picture of leadership.
What stood out most was the way the conversations helped me connect with myself. I was encouraged to look inward, to recognize what drives me, and to acknowledge what holds me back. This process not only deepened my self-awareness but also taught me the importance of empowering others while growing alongside them.
Trayee Ma’am has a unique ability to bring clarity out of clutter. With her patient guidance, I was able to organize my thoughts, refine my intentions, shape practical solutions, and map out a process for implementation. It felt as though she wove together scattered pieces into a coherent whole—almost like a magician at work!
The impact has been remarkable. I now approach decisions with greater confidence and conviction, while remaining true to my values. I feel equipped to lead with a stronger sense of purpose, and I can already see how these learnings will positively influence both my professional journey and my personal growth.
