"As Senior Vice President of Quality, I was charged with creating a team of Vice Presidents that would develop a set of policies for the entire organization. Initially this group of highly accomplished individuals was not very productive. The team members had difficulty listening to each other and required direct intervention and support from Deepika. By the third meeting, there was a dramatic change in the group dynamics. Each member communicated effectively and appreciated each other's opinions and perspectives.
One tool that Deepika used to help the group listen and respond in a productive manner was the "talking stick." A group member could only speak if they held the stick, and only one individual could hold the stick at a time. We still talk about how this easy and highly effective technique really got us on track. In fact, Deepika successfully integrated two new vice presidents into the organization while maintaining a culture of trust and collaboration."
-Senior Vice President, Fortune 50 Healthcare Company
"We engaged Indica Consulting to help us facilitate our strategic planning process, and determine an appropriate portfolio to invest our resources for maximum impact. Through a comprehensive, well thought out and rigorous facilitation, Deepika brought the senior leadership team to consensus on a plan that addressed both our short and long term organizational goals. She was flexible and adapted the process as needed, based on where the group was at any given time.
Deepika is extremely professional and responsive in her interactions. Her ability to engage the senior leadership team and gain their confidence in a short period of time was key to the success of this initiative. She stepped in and delivered a stellar product in a very short time frame that aligned with our company's vision and objectives."
-CEO, Public Biotechnology Company
"Deepika has worked with my organization for a number of years as both an organizational development consultant and as an executive coach. Her most recent involvement included working with a group of Vice Presidents that report to me. This engagement included a 360º review of my leadership of the group as well as a series of team building activities. Deepika has a solid understanding of group dynamics and is thoughtful in her use of information and feedback. She did a phenomenal job of collecting pertinent information and transforming it into a simplified and highly useful set of key take-away lessons.
Deepika's passion and commitment to understanding the needs of the group and of each individual within the group comes through and it's clear that you have her full attention. Her insightfulness and sensitivity are highly valuable attributes that contributed to the building of an environment of trust and respect in the team. From there, she cultivated a culture of growth and unified our vision. I'm pleased to report that Deepika continues to support my organization through her work with two senior level Vice Presidents."
-President, Fortune 100 Pharmaceutical Company
"Deepika's incredible, customer-oriented consulting skills, combined with her education and experience in organizational development, marketing, and communications translate into a powerful and effective package of abilities that literally "rescued" a difficult situation. Deepika was hired to create a new team with a vision commitment from a disparate group of unhappy team members and other individuals who had just gone through a major re-organization. Her ability to read nuances, pick up and act on key information gained in real time during the meeting together with her commitment and focused support, enabled our group to function as a team and move forward with a workable plan that produced positive outcomes.
Deepika's ability to read a large group, figure out what is bothering them, and then address it with the group is both courageous and insightful. Throughout the process, she checked in with me (a workshop leader) frequently and translated complex concepts into viable solutions that were embraced by the group. The group became a team of individuals each of whom were recognized for their capabilities and strengths."

"Having been in the industry for almost 40 years, I was somewhat skeptical about my ability to learn something new about myself. I could not have more wrong. Through Deepika's incredible talent of cultivating trust and sharing on a personal level, I discovered that I had the capacity to mentor women who recently entered the corporate world. I was amazed by how much I thoroughly enjoyed mentoring. I didn't know I had it in me! It was and continues to be an interesting and enlightening journey for me.
Working with Deepika is a much deeper process than the typical organizational development engagement. Each interaction with Deepika is meaningful because she clearly puts herself into everything she does. She engages with her whole being and is open to discussion beyond the formal engagement. Her work goes beyond individual executive coaching and is truly about relationship building."
