If you asked the toddler version of Coonoor Behal what she wanted to be when she grew up, she would NOT have said "I want to write a book that seeks to help readers rethink and reframe quitting by sharing stories from everyday people who summoned the courage to quit things in their lives".  Yet, here she is.  The author of "I Quit! The Life-Affirming Joy of Giving Up".  Growing up as a South Asian American who thrived in school because she liked it; Coonoor took a windy path through 3 corporate bureaucratic careers before becoming the Founder & CEO of Mindhatch, a consultancy that helps organizations create the conditions for innovation and creativity to thrive. Through Mindhatch, Coonoor delivers her unique mix of expertise in Design Thinking, Organizational ImprovTM, Innovation Facilitation, and Diversity & Inclusion.  Coonoor has helped Deloitte create, prototype, and launch an in-house design thinking consulting arm; be a part of a “stealth” team of design strategists and researchers guiding numerous teams at Starbucks; trained more than 100 people at Bethpage Federal Credit Union in design thinking; helped the Department of State and the Pentagon use improv to be more creative and collaborative thinkers, and has helped the Inter-American Development Bank’s Gender & Diversity Division generate and come to a consensus on their strategic vision.   Oh, and she got the idiot who sexually harassed her fired.
