Manisha Hariharan
@manishahariharan
Business and accountability coach who builds client funnels, reporting, and measurable results.
What I'm looking for
I’m a business and accountability coach with a strong background in client communication, coaching, and results-driven support. Over 22 years of combined experience across writing, editing, documentation, transcription, training, sales, recruitment, and client acquisition and retention shape how I coach—clear, structured, and action-oriented.
Most recently, I worked as an Accounts Manager/Accountability Coach, where I managed client communication and updates, helped clients move faster, and delivered reports and KPIs. I also supported funnel building and the creation of marketing assets so clients could get tangible outcomes.
I’ve spent more than 10 years as a transcriptionist/editor and proofreader—handling business, legal, academic, medicolegal, podcast, video, and earnings calls—while maintaining fast turnaround time and high accuracy. I’ve also built content and training materials, including Q&A session content, question banks, blogs, and editorial work for global learning and coaching contexts.
Beyond coaching, I bring hands-on training and entrepreneurial experience from roles like soft skills trainer, recruitment officer/IT search associate, and business owner/consultant. I also align my work with purpose through ongoing animal welfare efforts as the founder of Wardha Dog Rescue.
