About Me

Sandhya (sun.the.ya) Dayal

As a dedicated parent and business owner, I understand the unique challenges and joys of balancing family and work life.

With over 20 years of experience in Human Resources and Talent Development, I have a passion for building high-performing teams. 

This journey has shown me the transformative power of uncovering unconscious barriers and fostering emotional resilience, skills that are just as vital within our families—the most important team of all.

Throughout my career, I've led HR strategy and implementation for globally recognized organizations ranging from startups to public companies, with employee counts from 10 to 4,000 across diverse industries such as Tech, Education, Media, Broadcasting, and Hospitality. 

I've witnessed the significant gap in access to executive coaching and development programs, particularly for parents who are leaders juggling work and home life.

To bridge this gap, I created a subscription-based HR service offering VP-level expertise to at a fraction of the cost with a specific customized framework to create high performing teams, especially streamlined to support parent CEO's and Leaders.

Additionally, I design and deliver coaching and workshops focused on essential, learnable skills enhancing emotional and relationship growth.

My goal is to empower Parent Leaders, their families, and their work teams to engage effectively, minimize conflict, and cultivate a thriving culture at home and beyond.

    Sandhya is amazing; I loved working with her on the same powerhouse HR team years ago in the broadcast media space. Sandhya’s authentic and collaborative leadership style creates trust and credibility across all levels with her clients, colleagues, and partners. The success she’s had developing rising talent, coaching leaders, and leading the people aspect of building teams from inception to launch and beyond is a testament to the leadership talent she brings to any team and organization.

    We initially engaged Sandhya and RefresHR to assess our current HR structure and make recommendations to allow for better performance and future growth. The outcome was better than I expected. I came to see that Sandhya is not only intellectually and emotionally intelligent, but trustworthy, accountable, a good assessor of talent, and can quickly step into a HR environment, visualize how things work, and what needs to be done to align HR with current goals. If you are looking for help with your HR department, I would not hesitate to recommend Sandhya and RefresHR.

    What an amazing workshop. We give this 10 stars on the 5 star scale. We learned so much about ourselves and how to effectively communicate with others. Sandhya is extremely knowledgeable, approachable, and she relates so well to all ages. The skills and ideas we took away from this workshop, will be used forever because they are so useful and easy to remember. We cannot wait to take more courses with Sandhya. Absolutely recommend this course and this coach to others.

  • Dr. Cecelia Monge & Ted-x Speaker

    We raised our communication to a higher level with an understanding of our vision, values, and focusing on what is truly important to us as a family. I highly recommend Sandhya's program. it's an unforgettable experience and worth every minute invested!

  • Dr. Hina Sheth & Ted-x Speaker

    As a small business owner I realized how I impact my team through the decisions I make. For many years I was running my company without HR and now I am realizing what a big mistake that has been. I happened to be speaking to Sandhya about the difficulties I was facing and she was quick to help me understand what our company needed. I wanted to bring that success into my home life and with her workshops we were able to see the world through each others eyes and how we could be better at helping support one another.. I wish I had this growing up as I think it would have changed the relationship I had and also my own self confidence. Every parentpreneur should have Sandhya’s tools as part of their life toolbox. Over the last few months Sandhya has helped not only with my parenting style but also with my leadership style and helped organize and strategize the most critical part of my being...the people. Thanks to Sandhya, I now feel I have my fingers on the right buttons to lead my company and my family.
