About Me
About Me
I believe in the alchemy of bringing together diverse perspectives, ideas, and people to unlock collective potential. Differences can be transformed into positive and inspiring experiences. We are all in this together, and I firmly believe that we can do this complex dance through life with much more grace and beauty. I am specifically committed to transforming how we work together in teams and organizations and how we experience conflict and collaboration in our democracy.
At the heart of my work is a simple yet profound purpose: to make cooperation and community-building as sacred and impactful as life itself. I guide people toward deep connection both with themselves and others, helping them find meaning, peace, and alignment in an ever-evolving world.
I thrive in complexity and embrace paradox. Whether I'm coaching, training, or consulting, I see opportunity in challenge and possibility in every situation. My approach integrates research, intuition, emotion, and cognition, helping clients shift their mindset and take the next step toward sustainable success.
In all that I do, I bring a holistic, human-centered approach rooted in curiosity and deep listening, creating spaces for growth, creativity, and lasting change. Together, we'll explore new possibilities and build the future you envision and the world needs.

"Working with Manjit Basi was one of the best decisions I've made for my business. Over a seven-year journey, Manjit's guidance helped me grow from a small business into a multi-million-dollar operation. Her approach is holistic and personalized she doesn’t just focus on the business but on the people behind it. Through one-on-one coaching and team-building sessions Manjit equipped me with the skills, insights, and mindset to achieve remarkable growth. Beyond her expertise, Manjit brings a level of empathy and understanding that makes working with her both inspiring and empowering. I look forward to collaborating with her on my next venture and highly recommend her to anyone looking to make a profound impact on their business and team."
Carole Anne Piccinin
ArtsSavvy Management + Creative Consulting, and former Executive Director, Ottawa Festival Network
"Manjit is truly remarkable! Her intuitive and creative approach to somatic work, combined with sharp observation skills and compassion, even over a short time, helped me achieve greater self-awareness and lasting personal growth. I've also hired her in a professional setting, where her astute and empathetic approach empower teams and organizations to thrive with greater clarity, and in new dynamic and inspiring ways."
Yacouba Traoré
Carlington Community Health Centre
"Manjit’s exceptional guidance and advice have been instrumental in helping me navigate complex change management strategies with confidence and clarity. Her expertise in building relational intelligence has transformed my leadership approach, enabling me to foster trust and create safety in dynamic team environments. Through her support, I have been empowered to cultivate a positive, collaborative, and innovative workplace culture."
Ken Victor
Edgework Leadership
"Manjit has the rare gift of drawing out deep authenticity in people. And from that authenticity comes the healing and strength of direction that supports individuals and teams to move forward. The old dictum that culture eats strategy for breakfast is a testimony to Manjit’s work. Let Manjit hold a room and what emerges is the kind of conversation and exchange that allows complex issues and suppressed longings to be heard in a context of support, deep listening and honest encounter. Her great contribution is the transformation of operational interactions into the caring relationships that enable effective collaboration. We can leave a room with all sorts of plans and commitments, but without the foundational bonds between people those aspirations soon evaporate. Manjit is a guide in putting those foundational bonds in place. I have watched her magic take hold, and it is a rare gift to organizations that no formula can replicate."

"In the twenty-plus years I have known and worked with Manjit, I have always been impressed by her curiosity, passion, and imagination. She has a unique ability to mobilize people, find innovative solutions, and ignite others’ creativity. Manjit has been a catalyst in building key organizations and programs such as Leadership Ottawa and Synapcity. Ottawa has undoubtedly benefited from her dedication, energy, and hard work."
Hélène Létourneau
Donnelly, RN, MEd, Retired Director of Nursing The Ottawa Hospital - Civic Campus
"Manjit has carved out a unique approach to success, driven by her mission to be a force of hope and positive change as a social entrepreneur. As a respected community leader, an in-demand consultant and coach, and a highly effective organizational culture strategist, she consistently demonstrates the power of purposeful action. Manjit has a rare ability to captivate audiences, conveying her ideas in ways that build trust, ignite inspiration, and foster a collaborative, participatory environment.
From the moment of her birth, the name "Manjit" meaning "winner of the mind" and "light of the mind" carried with it an inherent responsibility to live up to its meaning. It has been both a guiding force and a reminder to lift others up, lead from a place of abundance, inspire courage, and remain resilient in the face of challenges. With a deep commitment to excellence, Manjit invests not only her expertise but also her heart and soul into everything she does, ensuring her impact is lasting and meaningful."Victoria Steele
CMC Arts and Non-Profit Management Consultant
"I have had the pleasure to work with Manjit on a range of projects in Ottawa over the past decade – from arts, festivals, affordable housing, and the environment. She brings exceptional strategic, facilitation and empathy skills to her work as a leadership coach and trainer. I cannot recommend her highly enough!"
