I’m a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) credentialed by the International Coaching Federation (ICF), and an Executive and Leadership Coach. I bring over 25 years of experience working with leaders in complex, global organisations, including a long career at a Big 4 professional services firm.
​I’ve partnered closely with senior leaders, led large-scale leadership and competency development initiatives, and worked within matrixed, high-performance environments. I understand the pressure of competing priorities and the expectation to deliver — consistently, and often under scrutiny.
Shermeen Merchant
​The most fulfilling part of my career has been coaching highly capable leaders through moments of transition, complexity, and growth — when clarity is needed and the next step isn’t obvious.
​
I’ve seen leadership shift from overextension and self-doubt to clarity, strength, and intentional choice.
​
I care deeply about this work because I’ve seen how powerful it is when leaders reconnect with their strengths and lead from clarity rather than pressure.
WHY THE INTEGRAL CHOICE
Coaching at The Integral Choice is not about fixing gaps or prescribing solutions.
It is a thinking partnership designed to help you see more clearly and act more deliberately.
​
Our work together turns reflective insight into confident leadership choices — choices that influence how you show up, how you lead others, and how you navigate complexity.
​
I’ve coached leaders across India, the Americas, Europe, and Asia-Pacific, primarily in Professional Services and similarly demanding environments. Using globally recognized, science-backed assessment tools alongside reflective coaching conversations, I help clients gain perspective, self-awareness, and the confidence to move forward with intention.
