Tell us about your journey (personal & professional), when you started your journey in this industry and how it is going and what is your future plan.
My journey as a coach started in the year 2008. Before that, I had spent many years as an engineer and a technology leader. As I had grown through my career I started managing teams and people and I got very interested in the concepts of leadership and performance psychology. This interest led me to explore concepts such as coaching and neural linguistic programming. I got trained and certified in both and what started as an interest soon became a passion. In 2014 I decided to quit my corporate job and start my own coaching practice.
I have now been coaching leaders and executive teams for more than 13 years and I have had the opportunity to work with some of the most dynamic and powerful leaders across the globe.
I work with high-achieving individuals and teams to help them stay focused, manage well, and move ahead with confidence and power. In my work, I continue to develop new ways to support my clients and work with new philosophies or performance psychology.
What is your company all about and whom do you cater to? Brief about the same.
I work with high-achieving individuals and teams to help them stay focused, manage overwhelm, and move ahead with confidence and power.
People often wonder why high achievers need a coach since most of them are already successful.
There are many reasons for this. Contrary to popular belief high achievement is not a constant state. High achievers go through their moments of self-doubt, failure, and imposter syndrome. High achievers juggle multiple responsibilities and often lose focus in the process.
As a coach, I am a trusted confidant, devil’s advocate, friend, supporter, mirror, and the most passionate believer for my clients. The intent of my interactions is self-discovery and self-awareness which I believe are the keys to all lasting and transformational change.
Working with me is the difference between “doing your best” and “achieving your best”. I work with CEOs, Business Owners, Executives, and Entrepreneurs globally to help them create their unique success formula for themselves and stay on top of their game!
What according to you is the advancement in this industry in terms of technology? Do you think your adoption of such advanced technologies has brought you to this elite position?
In the last few years, there are many software that have become popular among coaches, especially in terms of assignment and client management. AI assistance is also useful for creating action memories or discussion summaries that are useful for the client in case they want to reflect back. Additionally, I think after Covid more assignments are happening online which allows a client to work with a coach across the globe, and I think this in itself has been a big boost for the coaching industry, that is being able to access a coach from the comfort of your home.
Another thing that seems to have happened in the industry is a lot of aggregators have come to the market like Better Up or Coach Hub and some others while these are useful in terms, especially for large organizations that need to access coaching at scale, I think some of the drawbacks of these organizations is that you don’t always get to pick and choose the coach but then again I don’t know if you know for skill solutions of this is any other option?
According to you, what challenges will there be in this industry? Any challenges you have faced? If yes, please elaborate.
In our industry, there are a few challenges that do exist the first being lack of awareness. There are very few people who are aware of the concept of coaching and how it can support people to be their best selves and live their highest potential. So it’s still a new emerging field in the space of personal and professional development.
Another issue is that it is yet an unregulated field so a lot of time people who are neither trained or certified call themselves coaches. since there is insufficient awareness many people get taken for a ride and end up working with unqualified people pretending to be coaches
