Because I’ve moved through significant transitions myself and walked beside many others through theirs, I coach from perspective and experience.
Sunita S. Iyer, JD, ACC
My own path hasn’t been a straight line. I started in traditional law firm practice, then took a leap into public interest work, representing domestic violence survivors. From there, I built a solo immigration practice from the ground up. Eventually, I left private practice to work at Georgetown Law, helping law students place into competitive jobs after graduation, and teaching professionalism skills as a law school adjunct professor. Today, I’m a professional development manager at an AmLaw 100 firm. Each chapter required me to work through uncertainty, and taught me lessons I could not have learned any other way.
Like many clients, I’ve experienced periods that require difficult decisions, adaptation, and a willingness to rethink what comes next. I coach from perspective gained by walking through the unknown myself, and coming out stronger on the other side.
Rebuilding or reinventing yourself isn't a straight line. It's about understanding who you are and moving towards what you want. I’d love to help you discover what comes next.
