Divya Shah is an ICF PCC Executive and Leadership Coach with over twenty years of experience across corporate, governance and community environments. She has worked alongside senior leaders within complex organisations, supporting professionals who carry significant responsibility and navigate competing priorities.
Her background in IT governance, stakeholder engagement and organisational systems gives her a strong appreciation of structured, high-accountability environments and the pressures leaders experience within them.
Her coaching style is calm, thoughtful and appropriately challenging. Divya creates a psychologically safe space where leaders can pause, reflect and gain clarity around difficult situations, challenging relationships and internal pressures. Drawing on Cognitive Behavioural Coaching and Emotional Intelligence frameworks, she supports clients to recognise unhelpful thinking patterns, regulate stress responses and strengthen self-awareness. Leaders often describe her sessions as grounding, insightful and practical, enabling them to respond with intention rather than react under pressure.
Leaders choose to work with Divya when they want clarity during uncertainty, steadiness in emotionally charged situations and a trusted thinking partner who sees them as a whole person. She brings cultural awareness, lived experience of balancing multiple life roles and a strong commitment to inclusion and wellbeing. Her work supports leaders to build resilience, lead with empathy and create healthier working relationships, even in demanding environments.

Beyond her coaching practice, Divya brings a rare combination of global perspective, community leadership and personal depth that enriches her work with senior professionals. She is actively associated with UN Women UK and contributes to international dialogue through her involvement with the Commission on the Status of Women, reflecting her commitment to equity, leadership and systemic change. As a G100 Country Advisor within the Higher Education and Business wing, she collaborates with influential global leaders shaping the future of inclusive leadership.
Divya has also served as an Early Intervention Champion in partnership with Solihull Council, strengthening preventative community support systems. Her background spans international banking (BNP Paribas), entrepreneurship, governance and coaching, enabling her to bridge corporate rigour with human insight. Clients value her unique ability to integrate emotional intelligence, mindfulness and leadership science, helping leaders not only perform at a higher level, but evolve into more grounded, purposeful and impactful versions of themselves.
