The Humans of Humanly

I am Chaya Mistry

Human whisperer - A human leadership coach and consultant, founder of Humanly.

I’m on a mission to regenerate humans, so we can take care of each other and take actions that regenerate our planet and each other.

I believe in that when we are more human and compassionate to ourselves, we can extend that human and compassionate approach to how we lead and communicate in business.

I help my clients to be more authentically human from the inside out. I support them to build the confidence and competence to and create better human connections and belonging at work, life and in our environment.

I help clients to lead and communicate in a more human way.

I take on the human messy stuff with grace and wisdom.

My mindset is global, inviting learning from ancient wisdom from our interconnected human nature.

With a background in Psychology, a Chartered PR practitioner and an Professionally Accredited Coach. Chaya is the coordinator of the Inner Development Goals Hub for Global Human Leadership. I support human centred change in organisations and provide quality one-to-one coaching, group coaching and experience days, working with teams and mixed groups.
