About Dr. Amal Babar
I’ve spent over 20 years working in HR and organizational psychology. I’ve seen just about every kind of leadership dysfunction you can imagine. Most of that time, I was the person spotting the pink elephants: the unspoken patterns and dynamics that everyone sees but no one addresses.
I created Helium because I was tired of watching capable leaders burn themselves out trying to fit into leadership models that weren’t built for them. You don’t need to be fixed. You need someone who gets how you work and can help you see the patterns running your decisions.
I don’t do corporate jargon. I won’t turn my morning coffee into a leadership lesson. And I’m not here to save you. I’m here to help you see what’s beneath the surface so you can lead without burning out.

How We Work
Evidence-Based
Helium's methodology is rooted in organizational psychology, nervous system science, and adult learning theory. We track progress, measure outcomes, and adjust based on what's actually working. This isn't feel-good coaching. It's coaching that produces measurable change.
Pattern Recognition
The same patterns show up across different contexts. Once you see them, you can change them. That's the real work. Not advice. Not frameworks. Pattern recognition.
Non-Linear Process
Coaching doesn't happen in a straight line. It's a spiral. You'll revisit patterns at deeper levels, and that's how real change sticks. Anyone who tells you otherwise is selling you something.
Who We Work With
We work with leaders who are tired of performing. People who’ve been called ‘too much.’ Leaders who handle things their own way. People exhausted from managing everything internally.
If you’re looking for someone to tell you how to be a better corporate puppet, that’s not us. But if you want help understanding what’s running you so you can lead without burning out, let’s talk.
