Dr. Preeti Mistry helps women in healthcare discover leadership within themselves, reshaping relationships and careers through emotional intelligence and self-trust.
In the fast-paced world of medicine and dentistry, many women face a unique set of challenges. Despite their intelligence, capability, and drive, they often struggle with asserting themselves at work, feel pressured to overperform, and long for more fulfilling personal relationships, particularly in romantic connections. Dr. Preeti Mistry, a Certified and Accredited Conscious Leadership and Relationship Coach, has spent over a decade inside corporate dentistry, deeply understanding the emotional and relational struggles women in high-performance healthcare environments face. With her expertise, she empowers women to reclaim control of their lives and relationships by helping them lead well from within.
Her approach is both revolutionary and transformative, focusing on emotional intelligence, communication, and boundary-setting, essential leadership skills often overlooked in traditional leadership training. Dr. Mistry’s mission is to redefine leadership for women in healthcare, guiding them through a journey of self-leadership that positively impacts every area of their lives, from professional relationships to personal connections, and even their love lives.
A Unique Approach to Leadership
Traditional leadership models often focus solely on external performance, favoring individuals in positions of power or authority. Dr. Mistry’s work stands apart because it takes a deeply personal and introspective approach. Her coaching starts with the premise that leadership begins from within, with how we lead ourselves in every moment, especially during challenging situations. This inside-out approach is not just about professional success, it’s about empowering women to lead with clarity, confidence, and self-trust in every facet of their lives.
Dr. Mistry’s perspective on leadership is grounded in relationships, a cornerstone of her coaching philosophy. “Everything in life is a relationship,” she explains. “Whether it’s with those at work, personally, romantically, or with ourselves, our ability to relate well directly impacts how we lead.” Her coaching teaches that authentic leadership isn’t defined by titles or positions but by how women show up in their lives and lead with love, purpose, and intention.
Bridging Emotional Intelligence and Relational Leadership
For women in medicine and dentistry, the stakes are high. They often deal with immense pressure, demanding schedules, and emotional stress. Many are caretakers in their personal lives as well, often putting others’ needs before their own. As Dr. Mistry notes, “These women are so used to serving others and putting everyone else first that they truly deserve the space to put themselves first, address their needs, and lead from a self-empowered place.”
Her approach to leadership goes beyond corporate metrics and external success. It focuses on the “soft skills” of leadership that are essential to shaping how women lead: emotional intelligence, the ability to set boundaries, self-awareness in decision-making, and self-management in the face of triggers and pressure. These inner tools empower women to communicate authentically, navigate conflict, build resilience, and lead with a deep sense of trust in themselves and their abilities.
By focusing on these foundational skills, Dr. Mistry enables her clients to approach their work, personal relationships, and romantic lives with a renewed sense of agency and authenticity. In doing so, they are able to show up as more effective leaders, not just at work, but in every area of their lives.
The Turning Point: Personal Transformation
Dr. Mistry’s coaching journey is deeply personal. Her own transformation began when she realized the importance of speaking up for herself, setting boundaries, and staying true to her values, at work, in relationships, and in dating. This journey of self-empowerment became the inspiration for her coaching practice.
“I see so many incredible women in healthcare who are intelligent, capable, and driven, yet they still struggle to assert themselves at work, feel pressure to overperform, and long to feel truly seen in their most cherished relationships, especially romantic ones,” Dr. Mistry reflects. Her own path of growth and self-discovery informs her coaching, enabling her to guide others in breaking through their own barriers and transforming their lives from the inside out.
What Makes Dr. Mistry’s Approach Unique
Dr. Mistry’s work is a stark departure from traditional leadership narratives, particularly in the fields of medicine and dentistry. While most leadership programs focus on performance and outward success, her coaching is centered on self-leadership, leading from within. Her methodology emphasizes that true leadership comes from understanding one’s emotions, communicating effectively, and setting clear boundaries. These skills, often overlooked in traditional leadership training, are essential in both professional and personal relationships.
Her unique approach also extends to the dating and relationship space. “Rather than focusing on gimmicks or rules, I teach women to lead with love and authenticity in their romantic lives,” she says. This emphasis on self-trust and authentic connection sets Dr. Mistry’s work apart from traditional dating advice that often leaves women feeling inauthentic and disconnected from their true selves.
Leadership Through Relationships: A Holistic Approach
The idea that leadership is primarily about authority or formal roles is a limiting narrative. Dr. Mistry challenges this perception by emphasizing that leadership is a way of being, not just a position. She believes anyone can lead from wherever they stand. This is particularly empowering for women in healthcare, who often feel like their voices and needs are overshadowed by the demands of their profession.
Her coaching encourages women to develop the inner strength to lead with integrity and clarity in every area of their lives. Whether in their professional careers, personal relationships, or even their approach to dating, Dr. Mistry’s clients learn to communicate effectively, set intentional boundaries, build inner resilience, and lead with emotional intelligence and self-trust.
A Lasting Impact
Through Dr. Mistry’s coaching, women in healthcare are transforming the way they show up in their personal and professional lives. They are developing the confidence to assert themselves in demanding work environments, build stronger and more authentic relationships, and lead with love and self-respect in their romantic lives.
By empowering these women to lead from within, Dr. Mistry’s work is reshaping the narrative of leadership, offering a path to success that is grounded in emotional intelligence, personal growth, and meaningful relationships.
