When you’re clear on your purpose, the noise fades and your focus strengthens. Your “why” keeps you grounded in the work.
This is the core of leadership. And leadership isn’t about titles, it’s about people. How you connect, listen, and show up defines the culture you create.
Without trust, nothing else lasts. Build it through consistency, honesty, and keeping your word.
Compassion and courage are never weaknesses: When you lead with heart, you inspire loyalty, respect, and real change.
I started as a paraprofessional in the New York City public school system, supporting students long before I had a title. Over the years, I moved into leadership — assistant principal, principal, mentor, and coach — serving communities across the Bronx.
The work has taken me from classrooms to the District office, from mentoring emerging leaders in New York to coaching education heads in Dubai. I’ve worked with community schools, presented at national summits, and contributed to academic research. But my purpose remains rooted in one simple belief: Every child deserves a school culture where they feel safe, valued, and seen.
This is evidenced by having a leader with emotional intelligence at the helm!
My joy comes from helping leaders build those cultures — not just through systems, but through the people who shape them. This work is about creating a space that people want to be part of and feel a sense of belonging.
Dr. Nalini Singh
I believe leadership is deeply personal work. You bring your whole self into it — your story, your culture, your wounds, and your gifts. That’s why I coach through the lens of emotional intelligence, cultural responsiveness, and radical ownership.
Whether I’m mentoring a new assistant principal or supporting a seasoned school head, my approach is never one-size-fits-all. We work together — looking at your context, your team, your goals — and build capacity from the inside out.
I don’t give you answers. I help you to reflect, allowing the answers to come through your sense of self and what you strive for. I help you ask better questions — the kind that move you and your school forward.
