Niti

Workplace Culture & DEI Specialist

Melbourne, VIC

Experience

Niti is an award-winning executive, career and DEI coach, fractional general counsel, leadership, breathwork and DEI facilitator and speaker with a passion for authentic and inclusive leadership.

From following the well-trodden path into the world of corporate law, where she spent over 20 years working in both private practice and as a generalist in-house lawyer and general counsel, to becoming a multi-passionate individual seeking to reshape the way individuals and organisations approach leadership, burnout and psychosocial safety, as well as inclusion and equity, her journey has taken many twists and turns.

Today, Niti brings her extensive NLP, coaching and facilitation expertise to the work she does in the leadership and DEI space, helping individuals operate from a place of authenticity, compassion and courage. In the DEI and coaching space, her experience includes working on gender equity and Respect at Work related initiatives, women’s leadership programs and parental leave coaching, with a particular emphasis on issues relating to bias, career development, talent pipeline, intersectionality and leadership. She also spearheaded the design, development and delivery of a coaching program, which aimed to increase participation rates for senior women in STEM in the board environment.

She also delivers webinars and training programs on a number of different leadership and career related topics, including negotiation, networking, effective communication and leading through change, and coaches individuals on leadership, career and personal challenges. As a certified breathwork instructor and Body Story Method practitioner, Niti also brings a somatic, embodied approach to her coaching, rooted in the belief that we need to tap into the wisdom in our bodies as much as that within our minds, whether to be a more effective communicator, a better leader of people, or to manage the stresses of work and life, including avoiding and dealing with burnout.

Niti is a LinkedIn Top Voice (Gender Equity) and volunteers as a Peer Support Companion and Workplace Advisory Group member at The Pink Elephants Support Network (in the pregnancy loss support space). She is also a co-author of Women Leading the Way and Legal Operations in the Age of AI and Data.
