What do you do differently or how is your coaching different from others?
I work with founders, mostly in IT, marketing, finance, and health, to create personal brands that reflect their story and vision. Being an entrepreneur and CEO myself, I understand how other CEOs want to showcase themselves. My approach is hands-on, ensuring every founder stands out and connects authentically with their audience, especially within the Indian market. I don’t teach branding; I partner with founders to create a lasting impact through their personal brand.
What according to you has been the most critical thing that has contributed to your success as a coach?
Critical Factor in Your Success: The key to my success as a coach is my deep understanding of the Indian market and the specific needs of founders in IT, marketing, finance, and health. Being an entrepreneur and CEO, I know how other CEOs want to present themselves. I’ve developed a personalized method that aligns a founder’s brand with their true identity and values. This authenticity is what sets my coaching apart, allowing my clients to build brands that resonate deeply with their audience and stand the test of time.
Catlin (Cat) O’Shaughnessy Coffrin
Catlin (Cat) O’Shaughnessy Coffrin is a personal brand coach who helps female corporate executives find their distinct voices and amplify their impact in the world. As founder of Captivating Consulting, Cat advises executives at leading firms across a wide variety of industries and sectors. A writer, podcaster, and frequent speaker, Cat appears frequently in national outlets such as Chief, FastCompany, Forbes, and Business Insider.
What do you do differently, or how is your coaching different from others?
Drawing on my own experiences and expertise from climbing the corporate career ladder, my approach is grounded in brand research and strategy techniques. I blend data and external input with internal, guided discovery to define and reflect back to the leaders how they, uniquely, show up in the world and the distinct value and impact this creates for those around them. We use this to develop intentional brand language and strategies that then help clients build confidence in their personal brand and put it to work serving their teams, companies, and future ambitions.
What according to you has been the single most important thing that has contributed to your success as a coach?
While most coaches are not writers, I find that my ability to combine in-session guided reflection together with capturing the voices of my clients in clear, concise brand statements and language is what adds the most value for my clients. Even the best writers struggle to describe themselves, and giving clients language they can see themselves in, believe in, and own, is a great gift with a great value that sets me apart.

What do you do differently, or how is your coaching different from others?
I coach and support clients utilizing validated and research-based techniques and assessments that provide clear and actionable insights to elevate their brand and business. This helps them focus on their whole being, showing up authentically and confidently articulating their unique value to build powerful networks and genuine relationships for predictable profits.
What according to you has been the single most important thing that has contributed to your success as a coach?
The single most contributor to my success has been my personal investment in my development. This has enabled me to upskill, mastering techniques, and becoming a certified brand analyst. My investment has put me in rooms of experts, geniuses and wealthy business owners who I can connect and learn from, affording me the opportunity to serve my clients better.
Hannah
I watched my parents launch the first online business network when I was 6, paving the way for entrepreneurs, solopreneurs and experts to connect online, build digital businesses and have worldwide impact. From a young age, I saw the power of the individual. I understood how discovering your message, finding your niche and having the courage to bet on yourself can enable you to build a life of impact, freedom and opportunity.
However, I didn’t originally go down the entrepreneurial route. I studied Law at Warwick University and later worked in Consulting for a large firm in London. I lived the 9-5 life: riding the Northern line, climbing the corporate ladder, living for a weekend of brunches and G&Ts. I wanted to play it safe, but I wasn’t getting the buzz I once had from this life. Truthfully, I was stuck, frustrated, and not living up to my potential.
