A team with dreams

Leadership Coach & Founder of MadhuCoach

I’m Madhu, a passionate advocate for helping leaders know themselves, find their voices, and lead with clarity and purpose. Early in my career, I saw how insecure, unsupported leaders often created similar environments for their teams. I’m committed to changing that cycle by empowering leaders to embrace who they are and build workplace cultures where everyone can thrive.

My journey with MadhuCoach began in 2003 as a part-time dream, and today, it’s a six-figure business with a team of four, dedicated to supporting individuals, teams, and organizations on the path to transformation. Navigating my own career changes, building this business from the ground up, and continually challenging myself in my leadership give me a unique perspective I bring to each coaching relationship.

My core values are curiosity, directness, clarity, resilience, and a willingness to take risks. When I’m not coaching, you’ll likely find me in improv class, weight-training at the gym, or spending time with my closest friends.

Coach, Facilitator, Program Designer

I’m Mary Bajorek, work life coach and a passionate facilitator. I guide curious and thoughtful change makers  through transition points in their careers towards feeling agentic, confident and capable so that their work can become aligned with who they are and the impact they want to make in the world. I also believe in the transformative power of thoughtfully designed gatherings, where everyone feels seen, empowered, and invited to contribute to something larger than ourselves. With a background in design thinking and a love for creativity and play, I approach each challenge with curiosity, openness, and courage, inviting others to step into their fullest potential. As co-author of The Path of Empowerment, I celebrate the journey of self-discovery and connection, living out my commitment to building a meaningful, connected world.

When I’m not working, you’ll likely find me on the social dance floor, dancing West Coast Swing both competitively and socially around the world. Dance is a space where I continue to explore connection, joy, and the art of collaboration.

Leadership Coach, Facilitator, Program Designer

I’m Natasha Perlis, a leadership coach with a deep commitment to fostering intentional and compassionate leadership. After two decades in the nonprofit sector, I saw firsthand the gaps in leadership development and realized my calling was to help individuals and teams slow down, align with their values, and learn mindful, inclusive leadership practices. Since 2019, I’ve been working with clients to create spaces where they can find their voices, build intentional practices, and expand their communities of care.

At MadhuCoach, I’m inspired by our collective commitment to joy, curiosity, and the wisdom of change. We strive to model the leadership we wish we’d experienced, rooting our work in exploration, inclusivity, and the healing power of connection.

Outside of coaching, I’m raising teenage twin daughters, studying to become a Buddhist chaplain, and spending time in nature with my 91-pound rescue dog, Orwell. These practices keep me grounded and bring depth and intention to my work.

Director of Operations

As Director of Operations, I manage client communications and serve as the administrative backbone of MadhuCoach. With a focus on warmth, presence, and authenticity, I bring transparency and care into all my interactions. I value creating nurturing spaces where others feel seen and supported, fostering growth and resilience, especially during challenging moments. My detail-oriented approach allows me to track multiple moving parts, ensuring nothing important falls through the cracks. Relationships come first, and I believe this approach builds the trust and reliability I bring to my work.

When I’m not working you can find me in learning community, in nature, resting and studying somatics.
