Hi, I’m Dr Manjari Prashar

Through my research, consultancy and coaching, I am determined to integrate inclusive leadership in organisations and encourage the development of equitable organisational cultures.  

I have over 20 years of experience in designing and facilitating inclusive leadership and progression programmes for women and minority ethnic talent in global organisations. 

As an executive coach and facilitator, I collaborate with several organisations, such as Delta Alpha Psi and Bloom People.  

  • "With a talent for helping you to find your own words and the confidence to articulate your ambitions and tell your story, Manjari has transformed my attitude to leadership as a Black woman. She has researched the unique issues Black female professionals face, and no one is more committed to resolving these."

  • “I thought for certain no external coach could understand the strange environment in which we work, but Manjari did and was able to give context-appropriate feedback.”

    Managing Associate, Magic Circle Law Firm

  • “What sets Manjari apart is that she gives real life and practical coaching, through strategies and examples which pertain specifically to women of colour. You never leave a session with Manjari without being challenged, empowered, encouraged and heard.”

  • “Manjari has an incredible capacity to listen and discern my drivers and challenges. I am incredibly grateful to her and would advise her to anyone looking for a highly effective coach.”
