Shilpa Pherwani
CEO, Ibis Consulting Group
“Emotional intelligence is the foundation of effective leadership. Leaders need strong people skills to create cultures that value different perspectives and backgrounds—where employees are engaged and a sense of teamwork thrives. When this is achieved, business success follows naturally.
Leaders must be intentional about culture to shift from us-versus-them thinking and build environments where individuals feel valued and empowered to contribute.
I’m grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with clients who are proactive about shaping culture and offering innovative professional development experiences.
I care deeply that each learning experience is memorable and leaves a lasting impact—empowering leaders to make real, positive changes within their organizations.”
— Shilpa Pherwani
