Dear Leader, Greetings from Regal Unlimited. Hope you are doing well. Trust you are taking all the precautions to stay safe.

In some cases to add coaching skills to their work and life, and in some other cases To Become a Coach, now or in the near future Is it necessary to have an ICF Coach Training and credential to become a successful life coach, leadership coach or business coach? Though the simple answer is – no, it is a question that comes up frequently. The field of coaching is largely unregulated. Though astounding, it’s true that anyone can indeed start their own coaching practice and call themselves a coach. According to  2022 Global Consumer Awareness study , “85% of coaching clients say it’s important or very important that their coach holds a certification or credential.” Also with much awareness in today’s world, coaching clients are not ready to settle for anything less. They want the best and ensure that the Coach they select is appropriately trained and adheres to the highest ethical standards.  ICF represents the Gold Standard of coaching practice and is the world’s leading organization of professionally trained coaches. ICF credentialed holders are professional coaches who have met rigorous training and have proved  to have a thorough understanding of rules and coaching competencies. They also adhere to strict ethical guidelines set by ICF as part of its mission to serve coaching clients. Though ICF does not directly offer coach training programs or coaching education for becoming a coach, they accredit reputed organizations like Regal Unlimited to deliver high – quality coaching education and training to become the best coach.  1.Why ICF Coach Training with Regal Unlimited?

#ICFCoachOfTheWeek We are thrilled that Subash CV – Founder of Regal Unlimited, Master Coach, and Trainer, was selected as #ICFCoachoftheWeek. ICF, or the International Coaching Foundation, is a premier global coaching and coach training institution. It is considered the gold standard in coaching. ICF selectively honors coaches who add excellence & value to the ICF coaching profession & community by recognizing them as the #ICF Coach of the Week. In 2018, ICF bestowed this honor on Subash. Let us get better acquainted with Subash through this narrative! Knowing the coach mentor with whom you will be choosing to undertake ICF Coaching Certification for 6+ months is critical. The Journey to Mastery in ICF Coaching Banking veteran to being lauded as #ICFCoachoftheWeek: Subash has come a long way from securing the fortunes of individuals & establishments to securing the futures of leaders & organizations through ICF coaching.  Subash’s introduction to ICF coaching happened by accident. Or was it ordained? Subash now believes that coaching ‘comes’ to you when you start vibrating at a certain level of consciousness. So it’s never an accident! How it began After 21 years as a corporate executive in the banking sector, Subash decided to take the path less trodden and become an entrepreneur. As a first step, he enrolled in the executive education program at INSEAD, one of the top B schools in the world. And that’s where Subash discovered coaching; ICF coaching, to be more accurate. He found this process a transformational experience and intuitively knew that coaching would be his passion, purpose, and profession. It was love at first sight, or shall we say  ‘first session’? Why ICF Coaching? Subash feels blessed to witness the unfolding and awakening of human potential. The thrill & joy he receives from beholding transformational shifts in the clients he serves is immeasurable. “Coaching gives me a life filled with purpose,”  reveals Subash. Additionally, as a person comfortable working behind the scenes, a coach’s subtle, silent, yet catalytic role suits Subash to the T. Becoming a Coachpreneur Post INSEAD, Subash chose to become an ICF-credentialed  Professional Certified Coach (PCC). With this ICF certification, he set up his own coaching practice. The support Subash received as an INSEAD alumnus and his experience coaching fellow INSEADites helped him build his coaching resume and confidence as an ICF coach. They were critical in his coaching journey. Quest for mastery Subash began his arduous quest for the coveted ICF certification, the Master Certified Coach (MCC) credential, in 2014. Becoming an MCC took five years, sincere, deep work, and the committed effort of clocking over 4000 coaching hours. ICF Coaching and coach training Subash has impacted the lives of more than 1,000 senior leaders in his ten years of coaching. The ICF coach training program he conducts has enabled over 350 coaches to receive their ICF certifications over the last eight years. Why become an ICF coach? Having experienced ICF coaching as a client and then as a coach, Subash believes it is one of the most robust and reliable coaching interventions. The scientific ICF coaching competencies and research-backed ICF coaching process, all supported by the ICF code of ethics, ensure authentic, results-based coaching. Subash’s reaction to being honored as the ICF Coach of the Week encapsulates the quality & spirit of the quintessential ICF coach. ‘To those whom much is given, much is expected.’ That is what this nomination means to me.

Mentors are valuable assets and choosing the right mentor coach can be critical to your success. Personal and professional growth, greater confidence, profitability, more time, less stress, understanding your strengths, weaknesses etc are some of the benefits that you can achieve with the right mentoring. A mentor coach can give you support and inspirations to help shape your decisions and reach your goal. But before taking a plunge into a coaching relationship, it’s important to gain clarity about exactly what type of problem you are facing, is it related to your life, business, career… Ask yourself these questions… What goals do I want to achieve with the help of a mentor coach? Where am I now regarding the goal? Why do I believe a mentor coach will help me get there? Am I ready to put in the work needed to achieve my goals? If you are looking for a coach who can magically make your problems disappear and make you successful then you are not going to find the right mentor coach ever. You have to take responsibility and do all the work. A mentor coach will listen to you without any judgements, ask powerful questions and thus offer a fresh outlook to help you gain clarity. He/She will motivate you to take action and help you to keep going, will not let you get away with excuses and inactiveness but will hold you accountable and challenge you beyond your comfort zone. Also will partner with you in the process of achieving your professional or personal goal. Be ready for a long haul as changes don’t happen overnight. Are you ready for that? So when it comes to the process of choosing a mentor coach below mentioned are the few points that you should remember. Qualifications It’s important to consider what credentials the potential mentor coach has that are relevant to mentoring someone like you. You should also check if they are proficient in all competencies and have the proper knowledge and skills to understand your situation. Since coaching is not regulated, anyone can claim to be a qualified coach even without any professional training and certification. Achievements If you are going through the process of finding a mentor coach, evaluating the potential mentor coach’s career is a good starting point. Inquire as to whether they have accomplished the equivalent of comparative outcomes that you wish to accomplish. Lifestyle An outstanding coach is someone who is best in his / her field, can set an example hence provides true inspiration to others. Check if this coach has the life that you want, like the lifestyle, mindset, health, family, money etc. Confirm they walk their talk and their experience aligns with your goals. References and Testimonials Coaches use a variety of tools and styles which may or may not suit you. Hence it’s worth confirming this by talking to the mentor coach’s previous clients. Ask the mentor coach for references and do your due diligence. Most coaches would be happy to provide some reference for you to speak to. Make note of the testimonials, experiences and results of the clients. Trust A great coach-client relationship is built on trust. It is always good to have a demo or discovery coaching session with a prospective mentor coach and pay attention to your feelings during the session. See if you are comfortable enough to discuss your vulnerability with this mentor coach. Did this mentor coach challenge you, did he/ she ask the right questions to help you? Better still, as they explore with questions and actively listen, can they emote feelings you weren’t even aware you had? Rapport is critically important hence find someone you can relate to. Don’t go for a mentor coach who will not speak to you personally before committing, as there is no other way to determine your compatibility. Moral values and ethics Find someone who shares your moral values and ethics. Your prospective mentor coach may be successful but may not share similar moral values and ethics as you. Check if your values and ethics align, otherwise it may cause you a lot of stress and probably not achieve the outcome that you desire from the coaching relationship. Accessibility It is important when choosing a mentor coach to make sure the person has the time, interest and availability to devote to the mentoring relationship. Accessibility is an important element of mentoring. So look for someone who is willing to make time for you. Look for a mentor coach who is flexible in their availability hence is always there for you. Coaching Structure Find out the way the mentor coach is proposing to deliver the coaching service. Is it via video calls, in person or by telephone calls? and is there flexibility in terms of your preferences? How are the coaching sessions priced? Getting an answer to all this is important as it will have an impact on deciding whether the prospective mentor coach is right for you. Hire a mentor coach who is a lifelong learner and is someone who continuously levels up their expertise. But more than anything else, it’s very important that you are happy, healthy and mindful or you will not be able to grow to your full potential. Keeping this in mind it’s worth exploring the goals with a mentor coach who will support and inspire you to achieve your goals Are you ready to unlock your potential with the help of a mentor coach? Want to feel more empowered and live the best life that you always dreamed of but not sure where to start.?

For over six years, having trained/mentored over 200 aspiring coaches, and over 1,000 leaders to coaching, we are setting new benchmarks in coach training for aspiring professional coaches, and leaders. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/we-6-years-young-coach-training-certification-subash-cv-mcc-icf-/ Why #RegalUnlimited? We are ICF approved, have trained over 200 coaches for various certifications, over the last 6 years, from across the globe (N America to Australia). Our focus is on coaching skills based on the ICF framework, leadership (personal & professional), loads of practice-sessions, and managing the business of coaching. The mentors are a group of professional coaches, PCC or MCC form ICF, on their second innings after successful corporate careers (including business leadership roles), and living their life purpose. All can not handle the rigor of the program. We help you become a great coach, and a successful professional coach. Then there are a few additional reasons that make us unique, and our alumni coaches move from #good2great: One of our focus areas have been a few (not a lot) #assignments that would help the learner-coaches to dive deep… this journey is first self-awareness, then certification. Learning is one of the key outcomes of any coaching engagement. We are external focussed, this journey helps us go within… One such assignment is a book review. We look at each learner-coach and then recommend a book to them. Usually, a book that will speak to them, based on where they are in life , at that point in time. We have been lucky to get over 90% right, with the choice of books. And we have taken the liberty to go into different areas to recommend a book. It includes coaching for performance, inner game, etc. (secret!!) Ted-like talk, presentation: The coach goes through the book, shares what s/he picked up from the book, and connect with coaching, as s/he sees it. A coaching connection is important. Some learner coaches have discovered life lessons from such experiences. One such book is “Biology of Belief” which has blown over some of them, and have discovered very valuable life lessons on health, science, spirituality, leadership, and coaching. Some of these truly challenge and break your biases, and beliefs also. A close look at the beliefs and values are also part of a coach’s journey… ICF Coach Training – a new batch starts on October 17, 2020 . Pre-work and registrations are open.

Dussehra marks the triumph of Sri Rama over the 10-headed demon king Ravana, who abducted Rama’s wife, Mother Sita. Dussehra is also the culmination of the nine-day Navaratri festival. Ayudha Puja, worship of weapons, is done on the 8th day of the festival. In South India, especially in Kerala, worship of Mother Saraswathi, Goddess of knowledge and wisdom, is an important element. School-going children get a break from mandatory daily-learning when books and pencils are kept for worship on the 7th day, and taken after worship on the last day. ‘Ravana represents lust… Ravana’s lust cost him as well as other demons dearly’. ‘Real happiness lies in controlling the senses. When lust is sublimated and not suppressed, it is transformed into divine love, giving us inexhaustible joy. And the chanting of the holy names of God helps us sublimate lust’. Om Kama Krodha Dhwamsine Namaha

“Leadership is the ability to guide others without force into a direction or decision that leaves them still feeling empowered and accomplished.” – Lisa Cash Hanson Great leadership is about having the coaching mindset You have moved up the corporate ladder spending time and making the effort to check all the right boxes – academics, meeting the deadlines, upgrading skills, achieving targets and more. However, there is a lot of difference in becoming the leader and being the leader. Just being good at your job is not enough anymore, leadership as you grow up the ladder is more and more about managing people than completing tasks. As Marshall Goldsmith says, “What has got you here, will not get you there”. You must make the transition to be the leader who inspires the team to put forth the best foot forward. Inspiration happens only when you move away from “Command and Control” mode to “Empower and commit”. This transition requires you to suspend judgements, provide support and guidance, rather than tell or give instructions. Coaching mindset helps build trust, enables people working with you adapt to the constantly changing and challenging environment, in ways that unleash ownership, enthusiasm and accountability. When Satya Nadella took over as the CEO of Microsoft, he moved the mindset of people from “know it all” to “learn it all “. He went around the organisation soliciting thoughts and listening empathetically. This helped him bring the change that Microsoft most needed. He embodied a coaching mindset, where he would always ask the below questions What are we trying to do? What worked? What did not work? How can we get there? With disruption, remote working, and the need to deliver more with less being the new norm, moving to a coaching mindset, is the most important leadership and organisational development initiative needed to transform yourself and your organisation. What happens when leaders move to a coaching mindset? Team will feel inclusive and valued. Work Relationship improves.

In a leadership role, the most important thing you can do is help your team members make progress on what is meaningful for them. That is the most powerful motivating experience at work. Many leaders neither take out time for development conversations nor have the skills to do it. Consequently, employee growth, engagement, and retention suffers. Leaders who engage in coaching conversations , create a better connection with their team members. When they help someone achieve something important for them, it is a transforming experience. This not only leads to greater employee satisfaction, but also helps the leaders feel better about themselves. Listed below are the best five ways to have a meaningful coaching conversation… Five ways for having a better coaching conversation The COACHING CULTURE begins by having better COACHING CONVERSATIONS! To add more meaning and satisfaction in your job as a leader, you can have regular coaching conversations with your team members to support their ongoing learning and development. 1. Listen actively We have all experienced a conversation wherein we try to communicate something important, while the other person is drifted and distracted. Contrast to this, imagine the experience of having someone listening attentively to every word you have to say, with an open mind and an open heart. There is sea of difference between the two. The experience of being ‘completelypresent’ is a game changer. Active Listening is the beginning of a coaching conversation. You could start a coaching conversation with a question like, “What goals would you like to achieve from this session?” Equally important is to create time and a conducive space for a coaching conversation, wherein you have no physical/mental distractions. Doing this engages your team members and encourages them to open up and be creative. 2. Ask, don’t tell Leaders are used to being direct in telling their team members what to do. This prescriptive attitude works with defining milestones for project plans or when consulted for expert advice. However, in coaching conversations, leaders need to control the temptation to provide answers. Your way need not be your employee’s way. Coaching is all about asking relevant and powerful open-ended questions. To succeed as a coach, you enable your team members to define their goals and challenges and find their own answers. When they do this, their priorities are clarified, and they identify solutions that are aligned with what is important to them and that they are committed to. 3. Build a developmental partnership While a coach does not provide answers, a coach supports their team members’ developmental goals and learning plans. For example, if an employee aspires to be a project manager and wants to assist a project manager to learn how to manage projects, then providing that opportunity becomes the responsibility of the leader, if you agree that this would benefit both the employee and the organization. Following through is essential for strengthening the developmental partnership. Checking on progress, helping with difficulties, appreciating new achievements are few of the actions to take, for follow-through support of developmental plans. The more a leader does this, the better trust they gain from employees, who become even better engaged, in a virtuous cycle. 4. Focus on finding solutions During coaching conversations, a team member may go on venting their frustrations. They may say they don’t have time to learn or build a network; there is too much pressure or a demanding customer who takes up all their attention. While acknowledging the frustrations, a leader/coach encourages the employee to find a solution to deal with them. A leader/coach can ask, “Which actions of yours will help build your competency in delivering on your primary objectives and add value to the organization?” “How could you take out some time every week to work on your development plan?” ” Do you have any ideas on how we as a team could become more efficient so that we can free up time for our development?” 5. Take ownership While you follow through on commitments made to your team members during coaching conversations, you need to ensure that they, too, take ownership of creating and implementing their development plans. Ownership strengthens the effectiveness of coaching conversations, making it a critical part of organization development. Encourage team members to develop their learning plans, achieve their development goals and the investment requirements by a deadline, and increase ownership. You will then need to support it, on time, as well. What will I gain from coaching my team members? Coaching strengthens your relationship with your team members, encourages them to take ownership of their learning and build the competencies they need for their current role and future aspirations. You will enjoy greater satisfaction from your role, as your team delivers better performance, gets more creative, delivers innovations for customers, and adds value to the organization. So, let’s get started with coaching conversations. Do consider getting Coach training by attending the Regal Coach Certification Program for practicing and aspiring leaders. We have world-class master coaches, certified by the International Coaching Federation (ICF). If you are looking forward for meaningful conversations, find us here:

9 Months of Covid19 We have got so caught up with our day to day life, we have forgotten to dream. We have forgotten what were our old dreams. We have stopped reflecting.  Covid19  was an opportunity to pause for perspectives. But are we making full use of it? We have forgotten we can set goals, work for them, and #ManifestMagic. As a friend mentioned recently, I have gained an inch or two around my waist, maybe gained a kilo or two screen time has gone up would have loved to meditate more If  success  about where I am today compared to where I was in March… has it been a success or more a failure? You just do the best you can with what you’ve got.. and sometimes magic strikes: Sally Field Regal@60: Beyond IKIGAI What is the best age to become the POTUS? Is there a right age? Does it help to become a young president, for the president and the country? or is it better to have a seasoned politician with experience and wisdom. It does not depend on external factors. Only based on politicians’ preferences. It is a matter of personal choice. Ladder Vs Wall : Often we look at the ladder and the effort to climb up. We don’t pause to check if the ladder is on the right wall. This also is applicable to all leaders. Joe Biden’s journey of being one of the youngest senators to the oldest US President In 1972, was first elected and has since served six terms as a senator for the state of Delaware. Aged 29, he was one of the  youngest  people ever elected to the US Senate and was ranked as one of the  leastwealthy  members in the Senate. Two failed attempts for the Democratic presidential nomination in 1988 and 2008, finally secured this year. If you can dream it, you can do it – Walt Disney The presidential  dreams  that the veteran leader from Delaware had harbored since childhood seemed all but over for a third time until he won South Carolina’s Democratic Party primary on February 29, forcing most rivals out of the race and making one of the most  dramatic  comebacks in American political history. Leadership is about #IQ2EQ2SQ – At Soul level. While accepting the Democratic presidential nomination in August, Biden pledged to restore the “soul of America”, and be an “ally of the light, not the darkness. Tamasoma Jyotirgamaya – Lead from darkness to light. Is that not what is leadership? To lead…. to lead to light? Leadership  is about setting #goals, aligned with dreams working on them, selflessly:  #legacy  is linked only to selflessness focus on collective good  #I2We2He What if there was still a chance? What if you could #ManifestMagic in next 50 days of 2020? What would it take to step back, set goals, and work towards them?

Culture is the Most Critical Element of Any Workplace, Culture is the most critical element of every corporate workplace. A shared culture unites all employees towards achieving a common purpose. Organizations that do not build a common culture have disconnected silos of functions or departments that are not delivering their true potential. Shared core values that everyone follows are the foundation of a culture that may include communication, excellence, integrity, passion, performance, respect, trust, sharing, teamwork, technology, and a global outlook. What is a coaching culture? An organization that has adopted coaching practices as their primary way of leading and developing people can be described as having a coaching culture. Such an organization grows and develops through its leaders using a coaching method and style to lead and develop its people. In an organization with a coaching culture, leaders do not see coaching as an added burden that takes up too much time. They see coaching as an efficient and effective way of improving team performance, resulting in improved business performance. Such leaders know when a coaching style is required to lead their teams, and they will apply coaching skills in their role as leaders . What is done differently in organizations with a coaching culture? Some of the things that you would see being done differently in an organization with a coaching culture: Employees have the opportunity and receive encouragement, to come up with their own ideas, solutions to problems, and ways of achieving their goals, instead of being told exactly what to do by their managers. Employees feel more empowered and are highly committed to action, as they have been a part of the decision making process. Problems are solved more creatively, explored openly and non-judgmentally. There is less looking for someone to blame by leaders and team members. Leaders coach employees to grow and develop their full potential. Team members take ownership of their individual development with the support of their leaders. Who does the coaching? In organizations with a coaching culture, leaders take ownership of coaching their team members and have received the training and coaching to build their skills. Some leaders may also be designated as coaches to those who are not their own team members to enable a more open and honest discussion, mainly where performance issues are due to manager-employee relationships. While a true coaching culture can only be achieved when leaders fully commit to coaching as an essential part of their role, external coaches may be used and may be seen as ‘safe’ and impartial to organizational dynamics. Organizations usually hire external coaches to kick start the building of coaching skills and mindsets of leaders and team members and help grow the organization’s culture of coaching.oaching mindset, leader as coach The benefits of creating a coaching culture All organizations face the challenge of creating a great culture, where you have great leaders who find great talent, lead them to outstanding achievements through solving problems creatively and methodically and consistently. Leaders can accomplish this by developing their coaching skills , and the organizational processes support a coaching culture. The advantages of a coaching leadership style are: Increased engagement Developing people and improving performance Higher levels of creativity and agility Increased levels of ownership among employees Strengthens change management capabilities How does coaching strengthen management capabilities? Research conducted by the International Coach Federation shows that high-performing organizations have more robust change management capabilities. Coaching is an impactful way to successfully initiate and execute change management in an organisation. Leaders coaching their team members to build and lead an agile culture is correlated with their greater confidence in their team members’ strengths in planning and executing change. The research also found stronger coaching cultures associated with a more substantial talent pool, improved business results, and tremendous success at managing large-scale change. Coaching is an integral element of the evolving leadership roles Coaching is no longer an experience reserved exclusively for overstressed senior executives. Coaching is now a rapidly growing means for organizations to develop their people who take greater ownership for their actions, communicate more efficiently, collaborate with others, and are motivated by their goals. As organizations create a coaching culture, people listen actively, question constructively, feel empowered, enjoy better relationships, and feel comfortable conducting authentic two-way conversations.
