Women’s Career Guidance | FREE with Monica Kothari

This session is offered free as part of my commitment to supporting women in their careers.

This is a focused 1:1 mentoring conversation for women navigating career questions, transitions, challenges or moments of uncertainty.

We can talk about:

• Career growth and navigating transitions

• Building confidence and visibility

• Balancing ambition with personal priorities

• Navigating workplace dynamics and difficult situations

• Returning to work or reinventing your career

• Moving into leadership

• Finding direction when you’re unsure about what’s next

This is a mentoring conversation, not a formal coaching program. Come with a question, a challenge, or simply something you’ve been thinking about.

Here's a brief about me as Women in Tech:

"I grew up in a small township in Rajasthan—no mentors, no shortcuts, just a lot of scraped knees and bruised elbows, and the stark reality that being born a girl was a fight for life itself, where many never made it out of the womb. Fast forward a couple of decades, and I’ve led global teams at Amazon and Yahoo, founded Dare2Express to empower women through art and expression, and become a voice for gender diversity in tech and society.

When I’m not knee-deep in code or strategy, you’ll find me on stage as a public speaker, sharing my journey or tech insights at conferences around the world. I’ve served on committees for major conferences, making sure the voices of women are heard loud and clear.

But that’s not all. I’m a poet, a painter, a traveler, and an explorer, always on the lookout for the next adventure that will fuel my creativity and passion. I’m also writing a book that takes a no-nonsense look at women in tech, and inspires every women to keep marching forward. I’m also deeply involved in women’s mentorship groups like Google’s Women Techmakers, AMAZEWIT, Aspire for Her, where I work to lift others as I climb.

I’ve built my career on being strong, confident, and decisive—qualities that have guided me through countless challenges of role changes, learning new domains/tech, and growing everyone’s career, while being compassionate yet fighting the challenges in every situation."
