“The times are urgent: let us slow down.” – Bayo Akomolafe

Welcome. I’m Indy.

I help leaders and teams build cultures of belonging by transforming how they lead, so everyone can contribute fully and thrive without sacrificing integrity, dignity or wellbeing. Together, we lead from presence, not pressure.

I hold a Master of Arts in Education and am an ICF-certified coach (PCC) with specializations in executive, team, and neuroscience coaching. My work integrates neuroscience, trauma-informed practice, and mindfulness-based approaches.

My guiding principle is PRESENCE IN MOTION – the integration of being and doing, stillness and action.

Pause. Attune. Move with Intention.

Slow down to speed up.

Presence in Motion was forged in lived experience. Navigating systems not designed for everyone to succeed, cultures where you’re made to feel you don’t belong, taught me that presence isn’t passive - it’s power. Leading from grounded awareness, not urgency and pressure, is how we transform without depleting ourselves.

Kaur Leadership

KAUR is my middle name—given to all Sikh Punjabi girls and women. It signifies strength, bravery, resilience, dignity, and empowerment. Sikh women have a rich history as warriors who defended their communities with grounded courage, alongside men.

I stand on the shoulders of these ancestors.

Their spirit lives in this work: Warrior energy expressed through quiet presence. Not aggression, but fierce compassion. Not loudness, but grounded strength. Not proving power but embodying it.

Art & Science

I bring both rigor and heart to this work. My approach integrates science–neuroscience, trauma-informed practice, and evidence-based assessments and frameworks–with the art of human development, deep and generative listening, embodied presence, a commitment to justice, and creating conditions for genuine belonging.

Every leadership moment is embodied, from your nervous system activating in a tense meeting to the moment you lose your patience under pressure. We examine both the art and science so that you walk away with an understanding of why old patterns persist and how sustainable transformation happens—in the body, in relationships, and in systems.
