Gone are the days when social living seemed so seamless and emotions were well taken care of

We are very proudly celebrating 75 years of India’s independence this year. However, are we really independent? During coaching my clients, I have discovered this lacuna for independence in some of my connections. In-dependence here is the dependence on my inner self. While some of my conversations have been deep where the client is open to being vulnerable, where they are willing to trust the process and look for areas to work on within themselves, there are some conversatio

“Kindly coach Virat Kohli to re-discover himself. It’s a genuine request from a fan of Kohli” . I got this request from a friend – a corporate executive who is also at the early stage of his ICF coaching education for ICF credentials.

In this era, people are more behind the results, but the secret lies in the journey to achieve the results. Though knowledge, facts, and experience are essential to get the results, broadening perspective, the focus of attention and self-motivation are e

For example, both coaching & mentoring ➢   Calls for a high level of trust & vulnerability ➢   Exposes to newer ways of thinking & being ➢   Progresses towards desired goals ➢   Have an expanding effect on people, both personally & professionally.

Abraham Lincoln said, “It’s not about how many times you fall, but how many times you get back up”. Nothing has tested our resilience like Covid, in recent times. The pandemic has not spared any individual or organization. Nevertheless, success narratives have emerged while people grew stronger (antifragility in ac
