Neil Chakkera, ICF-ACC, WPCC, CFA
I help people navigate change, make thoughtful decisions, and bring their professional and personal lives into greater alignment.
As an ICF Associate Certified Coach and Whole Person Certified Coach, I bring a holistic perspective to our conversations—considering your goals alongside your values, relationships, and wider life priorities.
My Coaching Philosophy: Head, Heart & Gut
Coaching creates space to explore how you think, what matters to you, and what helps you move forward. My approach brings these perspectives together to support greater alignment between passion, purpose, and performance.
Heart — Meaning & Purpose
Connect with your values and passions. Discover what makes a goal or direction meaningful to you.
Head — Clarity & Possibility
Examine assumptions, consider different perspectives, and explore possibilities.
Gut — Courage & Action
Explore your instincts, recognize your boundaries, and choose purposeful next steps.
My philosophy is informed by Grant Soosalu and Marvin Oka’s mBraining framework and its exploration of head, heart, and gut intelligence.
Through empathetic listening, thoughtful questions, and practical accountability, I support you in developing your own insights and translating them into action.
Experience That Shapes My Coaching
My own career and lifestyle transitions have shaped my appreciation for how closely work, identity, and personal fulfillment are connected.
My experience as a coach, high-level investment consultant to investment advisors, private investor, and pro-bono volunteer gives me several perspectives on change. I bring that experience with curiosity about your circumstances, priorities, and definition of a meaningful life.
