In this episode of Founders Future, with host Olivia Sammons, we sit down with Gurpreet Mann, founder of GKM Coaching, to explore her journey from over 20 years in HR to building a high-impact career and executive coaching business. What began as an organic side hustle—helping professionals with resumes, interviews, and LinkedIn—quickly evolved into a full-scale business after a pivotal moment in her life. Following the loss of her father, Gurpreet re-evaluated her purpose and committed to making a meaningful impact, leading her to help professionals not just land jobs, but transform their careers and earning potential.

Gurpreet shares how her work has evolved from job search coaching to helping high-level professionals—especially those with advanced degrees—scale into leadership roles, increase their income, and build long-term career leverage. She emphasizes the importance of mindset, positioning, and breaking free from traditional career limitations, while also highlighting how authentic content and LinkedIn have been the driving forces behind her business growth. Her approach centers on building authority, trust, and visibility—proving that real opportunities come from showing up boldly and consistently.
