Personal Background
Rani was born, raised and spent most of her life in Jakarta, Indonesia. She is a wife and mother of two grown daughters. As a working mom, Rani often worried about juggling her responsibilities between motherhood and work. Today, she takes pride in her accomplishment of successfully balancing family and work life.
Rani decided to take early retirement to spend more time with her loved ones and explore other areas of life. In addition to coaching, she fills her time by volunteering with several non-profit organizations focused on education and the environment, two causes that are dear to her.
Rani prefers reading over watching TV or movies. She also enjoys listening to music, whether live or recorded. During the pandemic, she discovered a passion for crochet, appreciating the meditative state it induces, similar to yoga, which she practices two to three times a week.
Her non-judgmental and outgoing nature, objectivity, sincerity, and empathetic listening skills make her a trusted advisor for her family, friends, and colleagues.
