Shiffy Srivastava was recently interviewed on a question many experienced leaders rarely stop to ask:


Can competence become a communication problem?


The conversation explored what happens when leaders become so good at solving problems that they stop being curious.


When the answer arrives before the question.


When listening becomes waiting to respond.


When expertise turns into certainty.


And when solving everything for the team slowly teaches the team to stop thinking.


One idea stayed at the centre of the conversation:


“What am I missing?”


Because leadership isn’t always about having the fastest answer.


Sometimes, it is about creating enough space for a better answer to emerge.


The conversation also explores Executive Presence, Client-Centricity, Curiosity and Practice Before Performance™—and why the behaviours that matter most under pressure need to be practised before the pressure arrives.


A thought-provoking conversation for leaders who don’t just want to know more, but want to lead differently when it matters.

30 recommendations — and a moment of gratitude.

30 recommendations — and a moment of gratitude


For Shiffy Srivastava, this milestone is not really about a number. It is about the people who took the time to share what they experienced through her coaching and facilitation.


Every recommendation represents a conversation, a challenge, a learning moment, a story practised, a perspective shifted or a skill carried back into the workplace.


That is what makes it meaningful.


Her belief in Practice Before Performance™ is at the heart of her work: the real measure of learning is not what happens inside the room, but what people do differently after they leave it.


A clearer story. A stronger presence. A better conversation. A more thoughtful response to a real business challenge.



A clearer story. A stronger presence. A better conversation. A more thoughtful response to a real business challenge.





Thirty recommendations do not define the work. But they are a beautiful reminder that the work has been experienced, remembered and valued.





And for a coach and facilitator, there may be no better milestone than that.


Grateful. Grounded. Still practising. 🙏

Executive presence is not how impressive you look: It is how safe people feel trusting you with something that matters.

  


Executive presence is not how impressive you look: It is how safe people feel trusting you with something that matters.


In September 2026, Shiffy Srivastava, Executive Communication & Leadership Coach, conducted a session on Executive Presence with Directors and the Senior Leadership Team at EY.


The conversation went beyond how leaders speak, present or carry themselves.


It explored the real test of presence:


What happens when the pressure rises?


Can you bring clarity when everyone is confused?


Can you listen without preparing your defence?


Can you disagree without making the room defensive?


Can you say, “I don’t know,” without losing your authority?


Can you make a difficult message easier to hear?


That is presence.


And it isn’t built by simply telling leaders what to do.


It is developed through real conversations, real business situations and real moments of pressure.


That is why Shiffy’s approach has always been:


Practice Before Performance™️.


Because leadership is not tested when everything is going well.


It is tested in the moment when the room looks at you and waits.


What will you do with that moment?


That is Executive Presence.
