You’ve built the resume. You’ve climbed the ladder. You’ve checked all the boxes.
But behind the scenes… you’re second-guessing your next move.

You’re the one others rely on - the mentor, the achiever, the calm in the room.
So why do you feel stuck?

Why are you scrolling job boards at night with no intention of hitting “apply”?
Why are you mentoring others to rise while quietly shrinking inside?

Here’s what I know:
You’re not broken.
You’ve just outgrown the version of success you were trained to chase.

💡 Imagine if you could:
• Pivot or rise into your next role with clarity and confidence 
• Speak up and be seen as a leader without burning out
• Set boundaries that actually stick
• Wake up grounded, energized, & proud of who you’re becoming

That’s the transformation I help women create - by guiding them back to themselves.


👋 Hi, I’m Jaspreet - High Performance Coach, creator of the 𝗔𝗦𝗖𝗘𝗡𝗗 𝗠𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗱™, Microsoft alum, & mom who knows what it’s like to lead and still feel lost.

I was born in a small town in India where girls were expected to stay quiet and stay in line.

But my father chose differently & raised me to believe I could do anything a boy could do & more.

I became the first girl in my family to attend university. I broke records. I led teams at Microsoft.

And still, I battled self-doubt, imposter syndrome, & the pressure to be the “good girl” who didn't rock the boat.

It took years of unlearning, identity work, & real support to finally lead from wholeness, not performance.

Now, I help other high-achieving women do the same.


💼 What I Do
I help high-achieving professional women who are "successful on paper" but unfulfilled in their current careers make bold, soul-aligned moves - without starting over or losing themselves.

Through my 1:1 coaching experience, 𝗔𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗛𝗘𝗥 𝗔𝘀𝗰𝗲𝗻𝗱, I guide you through the 𝗔𝗦𝗖𝗘𝗡𝗗 𝗠𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗱™, a 6-part framework to shift from proving to powerful:

✔️ 𝗔lign with your power
✔️ 𝗦trengthen your mindset & capacity
✔️ 𝗖larify your next high-impact move
✔️ 𝗘mbody executive energy
✔️ 𝗡avigate with boundaries & grace
✔️ 𝗗istinguish your leadership & brand


If this sounds like you,

🎯 Or take my free quiz: 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗡𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝗕𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗿 𝗠𝗼𝘃𝗲? (Link in profile)

You don’t have to figure this out alone.
Let’s make your next move your most powerful one yet.

Jaspreet Gill, MBA

Most women don’t leave corporate
because they’re “unhappy.”

They leave because they realize the life they’re building
no longer matches the woman they’re becoming.

When I walked away from a career
that looked impressive on paper,
I learned 5 𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘵𝘩𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 
𝘢𝘮𝘣𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴 𝘸𝘰𝘮𝘢𝘯 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸👇

1️⃣ 𝗦𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗽𝗮𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝗴𝘂𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁.
 You can have the title, salary, and recognition and still feel empty. 
 Fulfillment comes from alignment, not achievement.

2️⃣ 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗸𝘆 𝗮𝘁 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁.
 When a role has defined you for years, stepping away can feel like losing a part of yourself. 
 That discomfort isn’t failure. It’s growth.

3️⃣ 𝗙𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗽.
 It simply shifts. From fear of staying stuck… to fear of what’s next. 
 Courage is never the absence of fear, it’s forward movement despite it.

4️⃣ 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗻𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗲. 
 Opportunities rarely come from job boards.
 They come from conversations, relationships, and 
 being top-of-mind when someone says, 
 “𝘐 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘣𝘦 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘦𝘤𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴.”

5️⃣ 𝗥𝗲𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸. 
 Rebuilding isn’t linear - it’s layered, uncomfortable, and deeply clarifying.
 Give yourself permission to evolve without rushing the timeline.

Save this post for the day you catch yourself whispering: 
“𝗜𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗶𝘁?”

Cheering on you ♥️

Your best days aren’t the problem. Your baseline is.

When I was at Microsoft, my calendar looked like a game of Tetris.

Back-to-back calls, 
multiple time zones, and 
getting my kids ready for school 
before the day even started.

So when I set goals like “daily journaling” 
or “hour-long workouts,” 
they only worked on perfect days. 

On real days? Nothing. 

Not because I lacked discipline,
but because my goals only fit 
the version of me when life was smooth.

And life isn’t smooth - it’s layered, unpredictable, human.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗵𝗶𝗳𝘁:
I redesigned my baseline:
• 10 minutes of movement
• 5 minutes of journaling
• One needle-moving task before noon

Here’s what surprised me: 
𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗺𝘂𝗺 𝗿𝗮𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗺𝘆 𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲. 

I stopped “falling off.” Momentum compounded.

High-achievers don’t need bigger goals. 
We need baselines we can keep on hard days.

Because consistency isn’t about perfection,
it’s about designing for reality.

What’s one goal you could trim down to a 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 this month?

Drop it below, I’d love to see what feels sustainable for you ♥️

Promotions don’t go to the hardest worker.
They go to the person people 𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘰.

If this stings a little, good...
that means you’re exactly who I’m talking to.

Because here’s the truth most 
high‑achieving women learn too late:
• You can’t outwork a perception problem.
• You can only out‑communicate it.


If you’ve been:
• Delivering results without getting visible
• Speaking up but getting talked over
• Taking on more work hoping it will “pay off”

It won’t.
Not the way you’re imagining.


Women in senior roles aren’t rising 
because they’re doing more.
They’re rising because 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘷𝘰𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘸𝘦𝘪𝘨𝘩t.

Authority isn’t loud.
It’s intentional.

It’s the clarity, conviction, and presence that makes people stop and take you seriously.

If you’re done being overlooked and ready to build
the kind of presence that gets promoted, stick around.

I break this down every week♥️

𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸–𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 > 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸–𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲.

Work–life balance treats work and life
as two competing worlds.

High-performers know they’re intertwined,
and alignment matters more than balance.

When your career and life are designed 
to support each other,
you don’t have to choose between 
success and sanity - you get both.

I’m curious: 
𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱 - 𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗿 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻?

Tuesday evening. 
Her laptop glowed in the dark like a promise she couldn’t keep.

Seventeen tabs, color-coded to perfection. 
Spreadsheets. Timelines. Contingency plans. 

On the screen, everything looked calm. Inside?
Tight chest. Clenched jaw.

Senior director in tech. Brilliant. Trusted. 
The kind of leader who solves problems 
before others see them. 

Except this time, the problem was her own.

“I’m not lost,” she said. “I’m being thorough.”
But thorough felt like a badge and a trap.

We started closing tabs.
One click. Then another.
Each “x” felt like peeling off a layer of pressure.
By the fifth, her voice softened, like she could finally breathe.

“𝗜𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗽𝘂𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗻𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗱𝘀, 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝗮𝘆?” I asked.

She exhaled, like she’d been holding her breath for months.
“𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗿… 𝗜’𝗺 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗰 𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝘂𝘁𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆.”

Not a blueprint. A direction. Something her body could say “yes” to.

Her first week looked ordinary: 
• A 15‑minute coffee with a VP she admired
• One courageous DM to propose a cross-functional pilot
• A single page reflecting on what energized vs. drained her last quarter

No big reveal. No perfect plan.
Just small moves that felt doable.
And with each one, the pressure eased.

The truth is: 
Most women think clarity means certainty. It doesn’t.
It means choosing a direction even when the outcome isn’t guaranteed.

When you’ve built a career on being thorough, that feels risky.
But it’s often the most strategic move you’ll make.

𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂:
If you picked a 𝗱𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 for Q1 (not a perfect plan),
what’s the first 15‑minute step you’d take this week?
And where might you be mistaking thoroughness for progress?

Thank you for the lovely conversation Neety Jain

My conversation with Jaspreet reminded me, 
You can "have it all" and still feel something's missing.

Jaspreet Gill, MBA shared how she built a successful career.
She had spent seven years at Microsoft as a Sales Executive.
She had the title, the respect, the financial stability, 
And the career trajectory most people work toward.

Yet, something felt amiss.
Many women live here:
Everything looks right from the outside.
Life is stable.
But something feels off.

She described it so honestly: 
"I turned 40 and thought: now what?"
The doubts and worries came around like clockwork.

It seemed like a daunting decision 
That posed a lot of risk and uncertainty.
But she took baby steps.

She became a certified High Performance Coach.
She coached women in the evenings and on weekends.
She tested the work quietly, without a pivot.

It was then her passion became too obvious to ignore.
The more she helped other women thrive, 
The more she realised this gave her joy.
And she made the decision to quit her job.

This part matters:
She was the only bread winner in her house.
Her husband is a stay-at-home dad raising their kids.

Jaspreet's salary was good
But she didn't find a corporate career challenging. 
There was more to be done,
So she moved to regain her purpose to live.

This wasn't impulsive.
It was deeply considered.
Her heart, soul, mind, and body were pushing her 
Toward this leap of faith.

Today, Jaspreet is building her coaching business, 
Working with women who look successful 
— but feel stuck or question their next chapter
While navigating leadership or entrepreneurship.

One line from our conversation stayed with me:
"Clarity is not certainty. Clarity comes from action."
And another truth we kept coming back to:
"You can be deeply grateful for your life 
— and still want more."

This wasn’t about quitting a job.
A corporate career is safe
And allows you to do the things you like. 
But if you have a feeling it won't be enough, 
Don't ignore that.
𝐖𝐞'𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐨𝐨 𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐪𝐮𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐣𝐨𝐛 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐲𝐥𝐞!

If you're stuck, Jaspreet offers a simple starting point:
10 minutes walk. No headphones. Just you and your thoughts.

If you're feeling that nudge, 
Take that steps 
Towards what really matters.

𝗔 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿: 
You can have a great life 𝗔𝗡𝗗 still want a bigger one.

Wanting more doesn’t make you ungrateful.
It means you’re paying attention.

Ambition isn’t a threat.

It’s clarity. It’s alignment. It’s self‑trust.

I was recently invited by Neety Jain onto 
the 𝘏𝘦𝘳𝘖𝘸𝘯𝘕𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 podcast to talk about 
this exact tension...

the quiet, internal pull so many
high-achieving women feel but rarely say out loud.

If you’ve been feeling the nudge
toward your next chapter… honour it.

Your desire for “more” is not the problem.
It’s the signal.

Cheering on you always♥️

PS: Don't forget to check the comments for link to the podcast episode :)

Stop asking, “What’s next?”
Start asking, “What's my next move?”

High-achievers love future-proof plans.
But progress rarely starts with certainty.
It starts with honesty.

When you’re in transition, the question isn’t:
“How do I map the next 5 years?” 
It’s: “What's one move that feels aligned today?”

Because 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗶𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝗮 𝗰𝗿𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗹. 𝗜𝘁’𝘀 𝗮 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝘀𝘀. 
And compasses only work when you move.

𝗠𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘂𝗺 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗺𝗶𝗰𝗿𝗼-𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 that feel true now, not perfect plans for later.

If this landed for you, share it with someone 
who’s been overthinking their next step. 

Sometimes, one line can change the way we move forward.

I help high-achieving women break through the “Stuck VP” phase... and elegantly step into executive roles with clarity, confidence, and authenticity.

💡 Tell me if this sounds familiar:

You’re an accomplished VP or Director with years of hard-won results. But, despite your dedication... you still feel like you’re not being taken seriously.

You’re leading teams, handling high-visibility projects, and solving complex problems. Yet, vague feedback like “be more strategic” or “you need more executive presence” leaves you wondering what more you need to do.

You’re juggling critical responsibilities at work while balancing personal life... and the pressure feels relentless.

You know you’re capable of more. But, the self-doubt creeps in when stakes are high... and it feels like you’re constantly having to prove yourself.

If that sounds like you, know this: 

You’re not broken. You’re just in a system that wasn’t designed for women leaders.

That’s where I come in.

"I've never had trouble finding a job. Ever."

Even the most talented people are struggling.
It's the worst market I've seen, and I've been on all sides 
of the hiring equation for 20+ years.

** This post is from my friend Sarah Baker Andrus, who has spent 20+ years on every side of hiring and helps people find work in complex markets.

Maybe you've been recruited into your last several roles. 
Or maybe when you last changed employers, you:

➙ Updated your resume
➙ Checked job boards or "want ads"
➙ Applied for jobs that looked good
➙ Got invited to some interviews
➙ Got an offer

Here's what I know from helping clients land jobs in the current market:
You can't keep doing what worked in the past.

Instead, do this:

✅A resume tailored to match each job posting, with strong bullets

✅Focus on 40-50 target employers and research them thoroughly

✅Use LinkedIn to connect with 2-3 people at each target company to learn more and build advocates.

✅Monitor target employer career pages 3X/week for specific job titles, which may vary by company

✅Apply on the company website, alert internal connections and ask if they have insights.

✅Identify and reach out to recruiters and hiring managers at target companies on LinkedIn

✅Meanwhile, prepare for behavioral and technical interviews on AI interview platforms

✅Be prepared to endure 2-7 interview rounds, complete unpaid projects, write case studies and face rejection at each stage. 
(Awful? Yes, but that's the reality)

✅Lather, rinse, repeat while waiting to hear back.

If you're not used to looking for work this way, this is hard. 
It's complex, and there are a lot of moving pieces.

I suggest you make it a project, and manage it like one. I use Asana with my clients. It keep them on track, helps manage their time, and ensure nothing falls through the cracks.

➙ What systems are helping you manage your job search? 
Tell us in the comments!

🎉You've got this and I've got you!🎉

The worst part isn't the interruption itself.

It's what you tell yourself after...

"Why am I even talking?"

And that thought?
It doesn't stay in the meeting.

It follows you to the next one.
Where you hesitate before speaking.
Edit yourself mid-sentence.
Wait for a moment that never comes.

You've already decided your ideas don't matter.

Not because someone told you that.
Because you got talked over enough times that your brain made it true.

This is how good people go quiet.

One interruption becomes a pattern.
A pattern becomes a belief.
A belief becomes silence.

And here's what kills me about this:

The company loses too.

Not because of malice.
Because the person with the solution stopped offering it.

The insight that could've changed the trajectory?
It stayed in someone's head during the commute home.

I made this graphic below because you need language ready.

Not to fight.
To finish.

When your brain freezes in the moment, pre-decided phrases give you your voice back.
