About Shalini Madan Benson
I’m a creative, curious and kind mother of three, spouse, daughter, nonprofit Board Member, small business owner, leadership coach and friend. I am a first generation Indian American with a healthy dose of New Jersey-born pride. My name is pronounced “SHA-lyn-ee,” and my pronouns are “she” and “her.”
I have 20+ years of experience in the federal, private and nonprofit sectors in leadership roles of progressively greater responsibility, including managing teams of 50+ people and budgets over $5 billion. My firsthand experience transforming leaders and teams can help you through coaching, training or consultation.
Why "Wobble"?
After a challenging, rewarding and productive career in the federal government and nonprofit sector leading and managing teams, I took a break. I used the time to try new things and rediscovered yoga. While leading the class, my teacher would sometimes say “the work is in the wobble,” meaning that wherever your personal limit is – be it holding a yoga pose or trying out a job with greater responsibility – that’s where YOUR work is. To be at your edge, where you’re unsteady and uneasy – to be wobbling – is to be growing, finding balance and eventually, steadiness.
I chose “Wobble” as a name, because it speaks to my strengths in helping clients, whether through coaching, training or consulting. I am a leader who has "been there." My vantage point off the field and perspective, curiosity and support ensure that my clients are better off through our engagement together. For details about the coaching, consulting and training services I offer, please schedule some time to talk with me or reach out via email.
