Helping Leaders Break Through Stagnation and Command the Room
Some days, you feel unstoppable—closing deals, leading teams, and making an impact. Other days, it feels like you’re trapped.
Stagnating.
Staring at the ceiling, wondering why your career feels stalled.
Dragging yourself through endless meetings that don’t move the needle.
Second-guessing yourself when it matters most—those big interviews, the boardroom conversations, the opportunities that could change everything.
The more of those days you have, the harder it becomes to see the way forward.
If you feel like you’re doing everything right and still not getting the leadership roles, recognition, or pay you deserve… don’t freak out (really). I’ve been there. And I’ve built a system to change it.
Hey, I’m Anish. I Help High Performers Land Career-Best Executive Roles and Unlock Presence on Demand.
Today, I run a thriving coaching business that’s helped over 2,100 leaders escape career stagnation, generate millions in new compensation, and step into senior roles they once thought out of reach.
I specialize in two things:
Career Breakthroughs — branding, positioning, and networking to generate top-tier job offers without job searching.
Leadership Presence — teaching executives how to walk into any room and own it with clarity, confidence, and composure.
But my path here wasn’t traditional.
I started as an actor and voice artist, trained at the Neighborhood Playhouse, touring Shakespeare in the Park, working in film, TV, and animation. Later, I became an award-winning journalist, uncovering stories and secret subcultures that mattered. I published a novel about growing up in the shadow of a schizophrenic parent. Eventually, I built a multi-six-figure coaching practice from scratch, guiding thousands of professionals into dream roles. And I did it all without so much as a Bachelor’s degree, learning much of what eventually became pivotal to my talent stack through tons of hands-on experiences and mentoring from the right people.
Through every chapter, one theme has stayed the same: trying my best to understand and empower others, and to tell their stories in a way that changes things forever.
My Life Now
I live in upstate New York with my wife and our three young boys. They’ve taught me more about being present, resilient, and joyful (especially in the hard times) than any boardroom ever could.
When I’m not coaching, you’ll find me:
Reading Shakespeare out loud (my kids roll their eyes, but secretly love it)
Mountain biking, e-biking, or exploring new trails
Playing co-op video games with my sons (we just finished Halo 3)
Recording voice work in my home studio
Writing my next book
Everything I do is rooted in the belief that work should serve life—not the other way around. This belief also holds true for many of the clients I’m lucky enough to work with.
Fun Facts
I’m a dual U.S.-Canadian citizen, Bengali by heritage and also part Romani Gypsy (that last one was a recent discovery). Rebellion, art, and individuality are in my blood.
My coaching clients have negotiated offers north of $500K/year.
I’m ranked among the top 1% of career experts on LinkedIn.
I once voiced cartoons at Nelvana Studios and recently starred in a local production of the play Tartuffe as one of the leads, Orgon.
My wife is a gifted photographer—she’s behind my headshots (and most of the good family photos).
