Helping Leaders Invoke Their Inner Power

Hello ! I appreciate your interest in what I have to offer and would love to meet & discuss how  my coaching programs will work for you. While you are here let me for by way of introduction tell you a bit about myself.

I have been in the coaching profession since 2002 and my work spans life, business & executive coaching. After a 17-year long career in IT & management consulting, I realised my real calling was to develop others. It was then that I took a step into the world of coaching. In the initial few years of my coaching career, I worked with professionals, helping them work their way from employment to entrepreneurship, and also with small business owners, helping them systemise their businesses to create more time for themselves. After doing that for a few years, I had the opportunity to coach business executives &  mid to senior level managers in a variety of organisations, helping them to become more effective leaders. Then came a turning point in my life and a series of big lessons came my way. These not only impacted me personally, but also the way I coach.

In the year 2014, I had the opportunity to go to a retreat in India to learn Vipassana meditation. For a long time I had wanted to explore meditation for the calmness that I had heard it brings. Since stress was a fairly common theme that I encountered in my work as a coach, I always had an interest to dig deeper into this. I have been a regular meditation practitioner ever since I went to the retreat and there have been several benefits that I have personally experienced thru it, such as greater peace & focus to name some. Somehow having tasted the impact spirituality can have on the quality of our lives, I have since gone on to further study The Bhagavad Gita, and also explore the teachings of some spiritual masters from both the east and the west. These teachings, as I worked them into my life, brought even further benefits like being able to counter fears and consequently be more courageous; developing an understanding of why we & other people behave the way we do, which taught me to be more empathetic, have better relationships, and so on. The lessons have been transformational for me, and can potentially have a big impact on anyone if they go about seriously integrating them in their life. Essentially, what happens is that the barriers that earlier would have detracted from us being the best version of ourselves get by & by knocked down.  Keeping this in mind, I have lately started blending in all these learnings into my coaching - for those who are open to it, by making them simple to understand. 

I of course have other things under my belt that people value, like certifications in coaching & exposures to various coaching methodologies. These came about as a result of my past affiliations in the people development space, with organisations like - Lee Hecht Harrison, Dale Carnegie Associates, ActionCoach, Felix Global and Certified Coaches Federation, but none of those are as significant as the experiences such as the one's I have described above. There are many things that one could talk about, but rather than me, let's make it about you, now. It's my mission to help others BE MORE TO DO MORE and now that you are here, lets meet and explore possibilities. We can do so in person if you live in the Greater Toronto Area in Canada or otherwise by way of  via video-conferencing.
