My name is Pallvi Shah. My story is that I come from immigrant parents who migrated to the UK in the early 1970’s from East Africa.
Whilst in my early years I was raised in a council estate, my parents worked hard in blue collar industries to buy their own home.
I didn't go to university but instead got my first job in the civil service after completing my A Levels.
The civil service gave me in an opportunity to work with individuals from all walks of life.
While in the civil service I studied and worked and managed to get my CIPD qualification and I was then given a chance to take on my first training role.
Working as a trainer I realised I loved helping people to learn and it gave me joy. After leaving the civil service is when I started working at some of the best law firms in the UK within the training field, managing projects and small teams.
There comes a point in everyone’s life when they think about their purpose and for me it was after my mother passed away. That was when I decided to become a coach. I also became a carer for my father. I understand what it means to juggle carer responsibilities while working full time.
Coaching for me was a way to nurture, support, encourage individuals to realise their potential for their life and careers.
I hold a masters in coaching psychology, MBTI certified and am a member of the Association for Coaching.

My career started in the civil service and then I moved to work in some of the best law firms in the UK. I have coached individuals from different industries including legal, banking and business owners.
I coached an HR professional who was looking to move in the next step in her career. She was lacking confidence in her own ability and through our coaching sessions she was able to develop strategies on becoming more visible in the organisation and to start celebrating her successes.
Maxine wanted to develop her business and we worked on improving her business and communication skills. Her business is currently thriving.
