About Della Banerji

Let’s navigate the next career challenge together

Career success entails more than just ascending the corporate hierarchy - it includes finding joy and genuine satisfaction in what you do.

For over two decades, I have partnered with senior executives and organisations to drive career development and professional growth. With extensive experience in international executive search and private investments, I specialise in leadership and executive coaching. My work is centered on my passion for helping leaders define, refine, and realise their career goals through personalised coaching. Drawing on my executive coaching certification from INSEAD and an MA from Cambridge University, I empower executives, particularly those undergoing career transitions, to achieve transformative leadership and career outcomes.

Having lived and worked in London, Paris, New York, Dubai and Mumbai I also bring a distinctive international aspect to my coaching.

Few people reflect upon their career strategically. However, if you don’t take the time to define your uniqueness, refine your goals and align them with your long-term aspirations how will you know where you want your career to go? And how will you get there?

The Process

The road from
reflection to
transformation

At the heart of Della’s transformative career coaching lies a fusion of empathy, analytical insight, and strategic foresight. With a deep understanding of organisational structures, roles, human psychology and systemic patterns, she embarks on a journey of collaboration with you to start your career transformation. This process involves self-discovery, skill development and strategic planning. It can be about changing jobs but it can also be about transforming yourself in your current position in order to grow and move up in an organisation.

 1.Reflection Phase

Understanding your professional identity involves delving into your personal motivators and barriers. Together, we will explore how you perceive your role, how others perceive you and the ways your values affect your professional journey.

2.Exploration Phase

During the exploration phase, those ideas, concepts, and aspirations are brainstormed. Building on the insights gained from self-reflection, further potential paths to success emerge and are explored, by examining hypothetical versions of new professional identities and narrowing them down to a preferred few to be examined in detail.

3.Strategy Phase

The strategy phase revolves around testing out these hypothetical roles and professions in order to build a framework and formulate a plan for implementation of your thoughts and ideas. Actual roles and organisations are discussed to provide practical examples of alternative career paths or roles. This may lead us to revise your resume or brainstorm specific applications as part of the overall plan, all of which fosters meaningful discussions, and deepens reflection.

4.Transition Phase

As you transition from one role to another or one career to the next, ongoing reflection remains crucial. Transitioning to a new career demands a mindset shift, which we navigate together. This phase, though sometimes difficult and lengthy, can yield transformational insights. We will experiment, reflect, and refine together, ensuring alignment with your aspirations at every step. You will define and create new networks, build confidence in your new role and know what success looks like.

Voices of success

Before my first session with Della, I was feeling overwhelmed and lacking direction.Della’s calm and professional support helped me to articulate my career goals and unlock pathways to a new career trajectory that I had not thought possible. She empathised, listened, and suggested solutions that emboldened me to aim high and to consider possibilities that hitherto were not on my radar. Her advice acted as a catalyst, helping me navigate difficult decisions, and furnishing me with the tools and confidence I needed to begin my new career journey.

Working with Della provided me with an objective third-party view and counsellor on the options I was considering in my professional transition. Our sessions helped me create a framework to structure my options and the back-and-forth discussions provided both new ideas and a critical view of what I'd done to date. Della was both a critical coach and guiding mentor in my journey.
