I have always preferred real conversations, real experiments, real transformation over framed credentials. So when I considered enrolling with the International Coaching Federation and exploring ICF coaching certification , I had genuine hesitation. Was this going to be theoretical? Structured for compliance? Am I doing thi


Coaching Is a Responsibility Before It Becomes a Profession
In this reflection, Subash CV shares his perspective on the depth, maturity, and responsibility required in serious coaching work. Coaching, as a process, comes to us when we are ready to shift. It is rarely a career decision or simply an addition to one’s resume. It is rarely about acquiring a new skill. More often, it begins with a deeper awareness of how we listen, how we respond, and how much responsibility we hold in conversations that shape another person’s life. Over t


How Executive Coaching Services Accelerate Leadership Development
Organizations operate in environments shaped by rapid technological change, global competition, and increasing expectations from employees, customers, and society. It may sound cliched when we hear ‘leadership today is more complex than ever before’. It was complex before, it is getting more complicated now. Of late, we are complicating it, not simplifying. Complication is the effect of an ego-driven mind, not a love-based heart. Just look around for evidence. Traditional

When the Regal Community Came Together
In December 2025, the Regal community gathered in Bengaluru for a truly memorable experience - the first-ever Regal Retreat. It became a moment that reflected where Regal has been, who we are becoming, and the role community continues to play in that journey. For many, the retreat felt less like an event and more like a return — to why they began this journey, and to the people who have walked alongside them over the years. It was a homecoming - to what already connects us. B


Why an Entry-Level ICF Credential Matters for New Coaches
Navigating the Coaching Market Today's coaching landscape is expanding rapidly, with "coach" becoming a common label across social media, LinkedIn, and quick online programs. Many blend it with mentoring, therapy, or consulting, creating a noisy space where discerning quality becomes challenging. When I began my journey after 28 years in IT and learning & development, I explored countless self-proclaimed coaches and their sessions. It felt superficial, leaving me wondering: "


Why Executive Coaching Is Essential for Modern Business Leaders
