Sandhya Sudhakar

Sandhya Sudhakar is a certified coach, Enneagram practitioner, speaker, facilitator, and the founder of Self At Work. She takes a trauma-informed, inclusive approach to leadership development and team building, focused on showing up authentically and cultivating a sense of belonging in the workplace. Through Self At Work, Sandhya helps leaders build meaningful connections with themselves, their teams, and their work, so that they can achieve success in a more sustainable way.

Prior to starting Self At Work, Sandhya built a successful career in sales and marketing for 13 years at Procter & Gamble, where she earned awards for game-changing strategy and excellence in managing others. Following this time, Sandhya held multiple leadership roles where she guided teams through two acquisitions in less than three years. Her current work is inspired by the highs and lows of the employee experience during these massive changes and the profound impact her own leaders had on her during this time.

Sandhya grew up in the Midwest USA, the daughter of Indian immigrants. She started Self At Work after a sabbatical centered on self-exploration and redefining success on her own terms. She’s a lifelong learner, design enthusiast, curious traveler, and work-in-progress plant person. Sandhya earned a BS in Business from Indiana University’s Kelley School of Business, and a Masters Certificate in Learning & Organizational Change and Coaching Certificate from Northwestern University. She holds a Enneagram practitioner certification through The Narrative Enneagram and has studied Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction and Mindful Self-Compassion.
