About Shalini Benson, Wobble's Principal
Shalini Madan Benson founded Wobble in 2021 after more than two decades of senior leadership across the federal government, nonprofit sector, and private consulting — including membership in the federal Senior Executive Service, leadership of teams up to 75 people, and management of budgets exceeding $5 billion annually.She is an ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC), a Leadership Circle Profile practitioner, and has been an adjunct faculty member at Georgetown University’s Institute for Transformational Leadership. She trains and facilitates for the Partnership for Public Service’s AI Government Leadership Program, Excellence in Government Fellowship and delivers training through AGA. She’s a frequent trainer with the federal Budget Line of Business as well.
What makes Wobble different is the combination: Shalini is an experienced senior leader, a credentialed coach, a skilled facilitator, and a practiced trainer. Few people who work with organizations can move fluidly across all domains, and the ability to do so is what allows Wobble to meet organizations and individuals exactly where they are.
Why "Wobble"?
Wobble got its name from a yoga class. The teacher at Power in Breath would say: “The work is in the wobble.” She meant that wherever you reach your personal limit — that’s where you wobble. And that’s where learning happens.
At your limit, you have choices. Lean in, grow stronger, risk falling. Or play it safe and keep your balance. The safe route won’t make you fall. But it won’t make you grow, either.
Shalini started Wobble because she believes the most meaningful leadership development happens at exactly that edge, and she’s here to make sure you feel supported while you push toward it. If you fall, she’ll help you up.
