Vidya Raman is a motivational speaker and a Maxwell Leadership certified coach. She is passionate about people, communication, and leadership and has over 25 years of experience working in Financial Services in various capacities from programmer to senior leadership.

She spent the last decade of her corporate career as a senior leader and officer in Fortune 500 companies.

A career with its fair share of challenges and struggles has armed Vidya with tools and techniques as well as the experience and insights to cultivate a teachable strategy that she uses to inspire, empower, and educate individuals and audiences to live up to their potential. Her mission is to help corporate employees develop an owner's mindset to scale new heights in success and satisfaction.

She offers warm, passionate, and relatable keynotes and workshops to her corporate clients and to professional organizations across the country.

She has shared her S.H.I.F.T. framework with a broad range of audiences whose testimonials speak to the value and impact of this approach.

Vidya is an empty nester these days and loves traveling with her husband of 34 years. Walking in her neighborhood in Charlotte, North Carolina, with a good book in her ear and socializing with friends are among her favorite pastimes.
