Building Confident
Communicators
I’m Clerisa Varghese. I am not just a communication coach. I am a former corporate insider who now helps leaders navigate the communication challenges I have seen firsthand.
(let me explain)
My perspective is shaped by my experience in HR and TA at global firms like AMD, CGI, and PwC. Inside these organizations, I had a unique vantage point. I saw exactly how leaders communicate to drive results, secure promotions, and build influential careers. I also saw how easily brilliant technical experts were overlooked because their communication style failed to make an impact.
I realized that effective communication was the most critical, yet least-coached, skill in the corporate world.
The best ideas were being lost in translation between data experts and decision-makers.
I launched Top Leader Lab to bridge that gap.
My mission is to ensure that your expertise is matched by your ability to communicate it.
I provide the practical frameworks that were missing in the corporate training I observed.
My approach is direct, practical, and client-focused. I combine my real-world corporate experience with professional coaching credentials.
As a Certified Leadership & Performance Coach and a Certified DiSC Facilitator, I provide structured methods to help you achieve tangible results.
We work together to build the skills that matter: structuring a clear message, delivering with executive presence, and influencing your audience.
Board games with words/letters (e.g., Scrabble, Little Wordy)
Dark roast coffee (I mostly drink black coffee or Indian Masala Chai)
Trying out new recipes (My favorite YouTube channel is Beryl Shereshewsky)
Presenters who read directly off their slides.
Keynote speakers who trauma dump and cash in on their vulnerability (with no value to the audience).
People with fake AI pictures of themselves wearing suits on LinkedIn (just upload a real picture, COME ON!).
I have kept a list of every single movie I have watched since 2019 in an excel sheet.
My first-ever flight was an international trip to Taiwan, which I took alone at the age of 19.
I have a very loud and boisterous laugh (I don't hold back)
