Mission
In the age of AI, communication is a currency more valuable than ever before. Internally, it is the key driver of change, innovation and engagement. Externally, it is the medium of reputation, relationship and loyalty. In order to maximize enterprise value and achieve organizational aims, every company must nurture and maximize the potential of all its people to be authentic, clear and visionary.
Pillars for Growth Consulting helps companies to achieve this goal. We work virtually or in person depending on the client’s needs. Based on the number of coachees, we may partner with other consulting firms to deliver services, notably Seydways Consulting.

In clients’ words
“Beyond the content of the training, perhaps the most valuable thing I got out of this experience was the way in which feedback was delivered to us by Stuti. Her style was honest, constructive, and thoughtful, often helping us see the positives in our challenges. I was extremely impressed by this approach and will emulate it in providing feedback to my team.”
Chris Garvin

“The training was an eye opener in many ways and was flawlessly delivered by Stuti. It has helped me make my presentations more effective and enhanced my leadership presence. The biggest takeaway for me is that by just talking with the audience, we can have a better connection and create a lasting impact on the audience.”

“Stuti played an instrumental role in supporting our Corporate and Sales Kick-Offs, as well as our annual Investor and Customer Events.
For our Customer Event in particular, her contribution was critical - ensuring message alignment and flawless delivery across all plenary sessions. This included our own executive team (CEO, CRO, CPTO, CMO) as well as guest speakers from Microsoft and major banks such as Santander.”

“When it comes to management coaching, she uses her acting skills to create environments that seem real. One of my biggest criticisms of workplace trainings is that they are hokey and predictable. When Stuti worked with us at Facebook, I felt more engaged because it was authentic.”

“10/10 would recommend to any senior colleague. It's well worth the investment.
The program was excellent and provided insight and support for continuing to move from "technical expert" to "consultative leader,” essential for managing customers under high pressure to meet tight deadlines. The exercises on grounding, intentional movement, and structured openings gave me a tangible toolkit to handle high-stakes executive sessions with much more confidence.”

“I've already used the content prepared during the workshop to facilitate a difficult conversation. Appeared to be received well, meeting achieved objectives and members aligned to direction.
Really a helpful training, one of the best I have participated in, where relevant feedback and coaching were provided in real time with opportunity to incorporate.”
Alisa Bechthold
Global Medical Transformation Lead

“The program was highly effective, focused, and immediately applicable. It respected the time and experience of senior leaders, challenged real behaviors in the moment, and delivered practical tools that translated directly into better leadership presence and decision-making. Most importantly, it created visible improvement during the sessions -- not just insight, but impact. Kudos to Stuti, the facilitation was confident, to the point and impactful."
"The biggest value of this program was the real-time course correction. Immediate feedback on presence, energy, and framing created visible improvement in the room. This live calibration is what differentiates this training from standard leadership programs -- keep it exactly as is.”

“I recently had the pleasure of working with Stuti as she volunteered her time in participating in our Career Coaching day of Diverse Talent's Virtual Career Fair. Stuti's dedication and passion to assisting those around her in developing their professionalism shined through her contribution to the panel. [With] every question, every situation, every conversation, she took the time to really place herself in a candidate's shoes and voice her solution…I look forward to our continued professional collaboration in the future!”
Greer Campbell

“The most valuable content was the focus on maintaining eye contact and positive body language during virtual meetings. In an era of constant video calls, I had underestimated the importance of on-camera presence, and I plan to actively implement these new skills daily.
Also, I have always been concerned about English being my second language, but I now realize it is not a hindrance to communication - it can actually be a benefit to me.
I feel very confident and am so excited to see my presentation skills continue to improve. Thank you!”
Sammie Lee

“By combining her public speaking / performing experience with her in-depth knowledge of corporate work environments, she was always able to engage Facebook employees during their training sessions. There is a new generation of tech-based managers and workers who are now better equipped to communicate effectively and with empathy and care thanks to Stuti's work.”
Jason Wong
L&D Role-Play Specialist
“I really enjoyed this training. The content was very different from what I have experienced in prior trainings with similar goals (aka, improve presenting skills). This was the first time in a training where I felt each participant was met where they were at and improvements were made individually from there. I wish all my colleagues could take this training. Thanks so much for a great experience!”

“Grounding techniques were surprisingly useful and effective. Though I frequently speak to customers and groups, there's always a bit of anxiety before diving into a presentation or conversation. Though the effects of that apprehension may be strictly physiological (increased heart rate) and not apparent to the group, it still isn't pleasant. I'm eager to begin using these new techniques.”

“I own two small businesses and my sessions with Stuti are the ultimate safe space in which to explore ways to grow and take strategic risks. Stuti was designed to be a coach — her unparalleled ability to listen, to supply insights that are dead on, and to motivate me to achieve my goals has transformed the way I look at my abilities...From scheduling to following up post-session, I have always felt that I am of the highest priority for her.”

“The teachings from your course over the last few years have drastically improved my ability to communicate in an effective way. This is not only true for formal presentations, but also day to day meetings both virtually and in person.”

“Highly engaging and impactful program. The practical frameworks and real-life examples helped translate leadership concepts into day-to-day actions, especially in handling team dynamics and difficult conversations.”
Nupoor Uphade

WORKDAY
“I feel very positive about the program. It was one of the few trainings where I could see clear progress from Day 1 to Day 3, both in myself and my peers. The mix of short concepts, live practice, and immediate coaching made it very practical, not theoretical. Even though it was fully on Zoom, it still felt engaging and personal.
I’m leaving with concrete tools that I can apply right away, and I feel more confident about my presence and storytelling in front of customers and leaders.”
Karl Shin
Principal Technical Consultant
WORKDAY
“I felt it was an excellent experience, the shift from Day 1 to Day 3 was significant. Though it was on Zoom, Stuti was so detailed in naming our habits and seeing our individual potential. I really appreciated that the feedback was constructive and focused on how to be "ourselves" rather than just correcting weaknesses.
It turned my initial skepticism about "another training" into a real sense of confidence. I feel much more equipped to lean into my natural strengths now. Thank you!”
Leiah Wan
Senior HCM Consultant, AI Deployment Strategist

“I thought the program was very practical and impactful. It not only provided valuable presentation skills, but it also became an unexpected team-building experience, especially within the same breakout groups. The trainers went beyond surface level feedback and really took time to understand where each person was coming from. By digging a bit deeper into our psychological patterns and presence, they delivered insights that felt personal and meaningful.
The most useful content for me was the framework for shaping a conversation. I can apply this immediately in meetings to be more intentional and focused, rather than just sharing information. The pre-presentation checklist is also very practical. Simple reminders like breathing and smiling before speaking will make a real difference.”
Jennifer Cao

WORKDAY
“I really appreciate that time was allocated for 1:1 coaching of each individual. I was not expecting this at all. Sharing the coaching experience with my peers was an opportunity to be vulnerable together, build trust, and feel comfortable being our authentic selves. It was also very valuable to see and hear the feedback given to others that I can apply to myself.
Setting up for the right energy and mindset as well as acknowledging limiting beliefs was extremely helpful.”
Naté Escobar
Senior Manager, Strategic Planning and Operations

“I feel very positive after attending this program and feel more energised by having knowledge of all these frameworks. It will truly help me to perform better at my job. Thanks to Stuti for taking us through this journey and enlightening our minds with these concepts.”
