Neha O’Rourke is the Founder and Career Coach at Somewhere In Between Coaching, a coaching company that empowers women around the country and across industries in designing a career and life they love. Since founding Somewhere In Between, Neha has served hundreds of women in avoiding career burnout through her signature 1:1 career coaching programs, research-based blog series, and public appearances.

Prior to Somewhere In Between Coaching, Neha worked in advertising where she architected strategies and campaigns for nationally recognized brands. As a result of physical, mental and emotional burnout, Neha shifted her career to launch Somewhere In Between Coaching. She fundamentally believes that life is too short to be "surviving" your career and that every woman deserves to thrive, both professionally and personally.

Outside of career pivots, the concept of being "Somewhere In Between" also relates to being multicultural. As a first generation American in a multicultural marriage, Neha has firsthand experienced the stereotypes and misunderstandings that can happen when you’re "Somewhere In Between" traditional definitions of cultural identity. However, she believe there is nothing more beautiful than being "Somewhere In Between" those definitions. Neha is passionate about creating more inclusivity around multicultural identity.

This year she helped launch one of the first virtual multicultural summits, The Love + Culture Haven, which debuted in early 2019. There, she taught how to navigate multicultural challenges and proudly curate your cross-cultural identity. She is excited to be planning a few other multicultural events scheduled for later this year and into 2020!
