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

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: "

By Subash CV, MCC (ICF) At some point in their journey, most senior leaders experience a quiet tension. On the surface, everything seems to be working. The role is familiar, expectations are clear, and results are being delivered. Yet internally - somewhere between meetings, decisions, and competing priorities - many leaders feel stretched. Mentally. Emotionally. Strategically. In ways they didn’t anticipate, and that past experience alone doesn’t quite prepare them for. Lead

As the year settles into motion, this feels like a good moment to pause and notice what actually sustains progress. This time of year shifts our focus to plans. New goals. Some energising, some overwhelming. Often accompanied by pressure for outcomes to follow quickly. But what holds firm and lasts long is never built in a moment. It’s shaped through what it endures, long before it’s ready to flourish. Roots matter. In coaching, the work that truly lasts is rarely dramatic. I

For Corporate Leaders, Business Owners, Professionals, Internal Coaches & Coachpreneurs - Subash CV, MCC Career In today’s rapidly changing world of work, careers are no longer defined by titles, designations, or straightforward progression. Many accomplished professionals - corporate leaders, entrepreneurs, senior managers, HR specialists, and consultants - reach a point of deeper reflection: Is my work still meaningful? Am I making a true impact? What legacy am I leaving b

Beyond Metrics: Understanding the ROI of Enchantment - Subash CV, MCC A senior leader recently asked me, “How do you measure the success of coaching?” It is an important question and one that sits at the very core of leadership development today. For many years, determining the ROI of executive leadership coaching was considered the Holy Grail. Coaching was often labelled as “too intangible,” “too soft,” or “hard to quantify.” But the conversation has matured. Today, organiza

Recent events have shown us how interconnected and vulnerable our world has become. A major travel crisis, triggered by India’s largest airline, left thousands stranded. AQI levels have hit their worst as winter set in across urban India. Even as we mark days meant to protect those without a voice (December 10th being the International Animal Rights Day), our strays are more “homeless” than ever. A part of APAC is recovering from a devastating cyclone, another reminder of the

Leadership today is evolving. Once defined by speed, authority, and execution, it is now being reshaped by empathy, awareness, and clarity. In a world that constantly demands more, more results, more innovation, more resilience, the true differentiator is no longer how fast you move, but how deeply you connect. My own journey into coaching, and now into ICF Coaching, began after experiencing it first-hand. It was not just a conversation. It felt like a mirror, one that reflec

Subash CV, MCC (ICF), CXO Coach, ICF Mentor Coach Introduction In a world of constant disruption and complexity, leadership is no longer solely about authority and direction; it is also about fostering a culture of innovation and collaboration.

If L-E-A-D-E-R were an acronym, what would the R stand for? For us at Regal Unlimited, R represents Result-Oriented. After all, results are the benchmark by which managers and leaders are judged. Unfortunately, in the rush to meet quarterly and annual targets, many leaders lose sight of the bigger picture. They become so fixated on the scoreboard that they miss the forest for the trees. In today’s high-stakes, fast-paced business world, the margin for error is razor-thin. As

We live in a world where anyone with a social media account can call themselves a coach. No formal training, no structure, no feedback loop. Just marketing, hashtags and half-baked wisdom. But coaching isn’t casual advice. It’s a profession grounded in skill, trust, and presence. Credibility matters. That’s why at Regal Unlimited, we align our training with the International Coaching Federation (ICF) standards, the most respected body in the global coaching industry. So if yo

Coaching begins with curiosity and the willingness to hold space for someone’s truth. But let’s address the elephant in the room: “Could an algorithm ever ask a better question than a human coach?” AI is thrilling for some, unsettling for others. But it’s here, slipping into spaces where we could never have imagined. Like the phone in your hand. Once a luxury, now a lifeline. Like that omnipresent masala in every Indian kitchen, you may not see it, but it’s there. Coaching,
