Parul Sharma: Rewiring Women’s Voices for the Leadership Tables of Tomorrow

0

Helping women shift from silent achievers to visible leaders in the age of AI and beyond.

After two decades in global leadership, Parul noticed a troubling pattern: some of the brightest women in the room were often the quietest. Not because they lacked ambition, but because outdated leadership structures rewarded silence over visibility. Determined to change this, she founded Rewired by Parul™, a platform equipping women with the tools to rewire identity, presence, and visibility in an AI-driven world. Today, Parul is on a mission to transform silent achievers into visible leaders, shaping the future of leadership on their own terms.

What inspired you to start your journey supporting women in leadership and helping them navigate their career paths in today’s rapidly changing world?

After two decades in global leadership across industries and geographies, I had the privilege of sitting at decision-making tables. What I noticed consistently was that many of the smartest women were often the quietest voices in the room. It wasn’t because they lacked ambition or ideas, but because the structures of leadership didn’t always reward them for speaking up, and over time, silence felt safer than visibility.

That silence worried me, because I knew what those tables really demanded. I had seen the difference between those who shaped conversations and those who simply delivered outcomes. I realised women didn’t need more encouragement; they needed different tools. That’s what inspired me to build Rewired by Parul™, a platform that helps women rewire identity, presence, and visibility so they stop adapting to outdated systems and instead shape the future on their own terms.

Your work focuses on developing future leaders. What do you see as the most critical skills women need to thrive in times of uncertainty and the rise of AI?

The biggest shift women need is to stop tying their power to a title. Titles don’t create leaders, visibility does. Too many women wait for a promotion before stepping up, but by then, decisions are already being made without them.

That’s why I talk about the AI Intimacy Gap, which I introduced on the Rewired Powercast. It’s the distance between what AI knows about you and who you really are. If you don’t feed systems like ChatGPT or Gemini with your story, your ideas, your expertise, they will default to old data, and women’s voices risk being erased.

So the critical skills are:

  • Identity clarity, knowing who you are beyond a job description.
  • Visibility strategy, presenting your strengths in ways that leadership tables can’t ignore.

Tech confidence, using AI to amplify your presence instead of waiting for someone else to translate it.

By 2030, the gap won’t be ambition or talent. It will be how fast women rewire their identity and presence to be seen and heard in systems that are being built now.

How does your business empower women to discover the roles that best align with their strengths and ambitions?

Under the umbrella of Rewired by Parul™, I’ve created a suite of products that work in harmony to help women claim their full power. Through one-to-one mentoring, women receive direct guidance from me—drawing on my own experience at the decision-making table and what it truly takes to be seen, heard, and valued.

With The Vault™, my collection of courses, I personally guide women to rewire into powerful identities. Together we explore money, tech, health, wealth, and even the generational gap, because I believe leadership today demands wholeness, not one-dimensional expertise.

In The Atelier, my exclusive mentoring circles, I work directly with women as they practice visibility, exchange influence, and learn alongside the global guest leaders I bring into the space.

And through the Rewired Powercast, I personally lead conversations with global voices—bringing forward the critical discussions on women, leadership, and the future that we all need to hear.

At the heart of it all is my 3M Power Rule™: Mind, Mirror, and Map—reinventing mindset, recalibrating presence, and creating bold paths forward with AI and strategy.

I don’t just believe in women’s power as a slogan—I’ve built a system for it. Every Rewired product is designed to help women not only fit into roles but redefine them, rising as leaders who are financially strong, future-ready, and indispensable.

Neuroscience plays an increasingly important role in leadership development. How have you integrated these insights into your programs and strategies?

Neuroscience is the foundation of Rewired. The science of neuroplasticity proves that silence or hesitation is not fixed; it’s a learned pattern, and it can be unlearned.

At Rewired, I use neuroscience to help women reset their brain’s response to change and visibility. For example, reframing stress so it doesn’t shut them down, or practising presence until the brain codes it as normal rather than threatening. It’s about rewiring identity so women can show up consistently with clarity and authority.

What strategies do you use to help women build confidence and resilience while pursuing leadership positions in complex organizational environments?

Confidence comes from evidence, not from being told to “be confident.” I create environments, whether in Atelier circles, mentoring, or through the Rewired Powercast, where women practise visibility repeatedly until it sticks.

Resilience is about reframing. I’ve lived through restructures and transitions. Each time, I chose to see it as a pivot, not an ending. That’s what I help women do: build a mindset where setbacks don’t define them, but redirect them.

With the fast pace of technological change, how do you prepare your clients for AI-driven shifts in the workplace?

AI is a filter as much as a tool. If your identity and expertise are not visible in these systems, you risk invisibility.

At Rewired, I prepare women to use AI as a partner: to amplify their thought leadership, automate noise, and sharpen their presence. I also bring in collaborations and expert voices through the Rewired Powercast, because no one can afford to learn AI in isolation; we need shared learning to stay ahead.

Can you share a success story where your business made a meaningful impact on a woman’s career trajectory or leadership development?

A senior leader came to me after being overlooked for a promotion despite strong results. Through Rewired, we focused on her Mirror, her presence, her voice, her narrative. Within months, she wasn’t just back in the running; she was offered a regional leadership role.

The difference wasn’t her skills; she always had them. The difference was her identity becoming visible at the decision table. That’s what Rewired is about: turning invisible talent into visible power.

How does your upcoming book align with your mission to support women in leadership and future-focused career development?

My upcoming book, Aria’s Compass, may appear to be an adventure novel, but it’s a story that quietly builds an achiever’s mindset. Backed by neuroscience, it helps children understand how to face anxiety, grow resilient friendships, and develop the confidence to keep moving forward as they step into their teenage years.

For me, leadership doesn’t start in the C-suite. It starts in childhood, in the way kids deal with anxiety, setbacks, and friendships. If we can raise children who believe their voice matters, we won’t just prepare women for leadership in 2030; we’ll prepare leaders for life.

What advice would you give to organizations looking to foster inclusive leadership pipelines and ensure women are prepared for the C-suite?

Organizations need to focus less on numbers and more on identity. Inclusion is not just adding women into the system; it’s ensuring their voices shape decisions.

My advice: build leadership pipelines that value presence as much as performance. Partner with platforms like Rewired by Parul™, invest in mentoring, and integrate neuroscience-backed frameworks into development. That’s how you create pipelines where women don’t just enter the system, they reshape it.
