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.

“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.
