“What can I do to empower my executive team to make hard decisions and deal with conflict?”
“Our managers themselves are scared of change, how can I even get them to talk to their people about it?”
Everyday, I meet leaders struggling to engage their people who are stuck and paralyzed with the fear of uncertainty and inevitable change.

Rashmi’s Partners
What are the results when you instill a RISE THROUGH IT™ mentality? These companies know.
Hi. I’m Rashmi.
Hi, I’m Rashmi.
I’m a first-generation American with Indian roots.
At 10, I believed if I followed the straight and narrow path—set goals, work hard—I could avoid the struggle.
But life taught me otherwise.
As a finance and legal professional, professor, entrepreneur, convicted felon, and mental health advocate, my world has been shattered, uprooted, and reshaped.
I could have let it break me, but I didn’t.
Over 30 years, I created the RISE™ process to break free from fear and step into resilience.
I’ve learned to embrace discomfort, adapt relentlessly, and show up vulnerably—and the results have been life-changing.
Today, I help leaders and organizations RISE™ to harness their strength, tenacity, and courage to achieve breakthrough results and unshakable growth.
