Testimonials

"Venkat has been supported me in making a successful country leadership transition over the last nine months. Considering that I moved both geographies as well as industry his support was pivotal for me. He enabled me develop a robust transition plan and more importantly was a valuable sounding board as I went through the journey. Venkat's style is extremely engaging and he is able to provide solid outside-in perspective by leveraging both frameworks and his own real world experience to help nudge his coachees to make the behavioural changes needed to be effective and successful. I highly recommend him as an executive coach." -

"Venkat worked closely with us on Coaching assignment for a business leader. He had religiously followed leadership process and engaged with all the stakeholders to seek feedback and work on goals decided for the subject. He is a good listener, articulate behaviour observations aptly and created environment of openness while working on a challenging assignment. It was his debut as a Leadership coach and I am happy to see impact of his coaching leading to visible changes in behaviour attributes of the subject . He was passionate and worked with commitment to succeed in this assignment. I also discovered a good professional friend during this assignment. I would certainly recommend him as an energetic, enthusiastic and knowledgeable leadership coach." -

"Venkat brings so much energy, understanding and passion to being a coach, that it’s difficult to not be inspired. He supported me as I navigated a confusing time in my career - by asking questions and giving actionable insights on how I can find not just the answers, but the answers that are right for ‘me’. He plays the dual role of a coach and friend - understanding not just career aspirations, but also factoring in other aspects of life. I am happy to recommend him to anyone trying to navigate change, and wanting to set clear career goals."

"I worked with Venkat on my leadership journey, he was my executive coach as a part of my leadership development plan last year. He is one of the most passionate person I ever met and we have had some fantastic sessions. As a coach he is positive, knowledgeable, goal-oriented, observant, respectful and a clear communicator. He went above and beyond to support me find my blind spots, identified quick wins and development areas that can help me in my leadership journey. I enjoyed every single session with Venkat and would strongly recommend him as a coach for aspiring leaders." -

"Working with Venkat was really enlightening experience. He built lot of confidence in me by making me realize my strengths and showing how I can use them to improve my relations in corporate and personal life. With his right questions he made me really think about the root cause of the issues. Some of these questions obviously made me uncomfortable but then answering those helped me to resolve the challenges.  Venkat is very well read person who brings in lot of excerpts from various books to explain different point of views. In a subtle way he shows you different ways of viewing same situation and that forces you to break the boundaries of your on views. Thanks Venkat for your guidance in handling various challenging situations and motivating me to take right decisions for my future.” -.

"Venkat brings in a very high degree of commitment and passion in his coaching role. Not only is he a great listener, but also somebody who puts in significant effort to show the mirror and nudge the coachee towards mutually set goals. His rich background of being at leadership positions in global organisations surely adds tremendously to his faster assessment as well as empathy for the coachee. I have no doubt Venkat will shape many lives with his work.")

"It's been a really fruitful journey working with Venkat. Over the last 6-9 months, he has coached one of our senior managers and we've seen such a big shift in performance and behaviours! Venkat really takes the time to understand the business, the organization, and the person as he takes on the coaching assignment - this is what makes it very productive. He is also able to give candid feedback while at the same time, being very supportive of the coachee's development and motivations." -

"My association & acquaintance with Venkat goes back a decade and a half. Our paths crossed when we were in the process of enhancing our learning skills. For me, Venkat was that erudite friend who was extremely well read, had sound opinions on varied topics and had a very sharp mind on Business processes. So, it was these very qualities which made me think of him as an ideal coach for a senior leader in our organisation, who was running the business. Clearly we didn't want someone who purely came from a background of just running a business before. We were seeking a coach who could bring in a different perspective to the challenges faced by the coachee. And clearly Venkat fit in the role. Over 8-9 months, Venkat used various tools and his own skills admirably to coach my colleague. The process itself was effective, very objective and bereft of opinions and emotion. The outcomes were clearly defined and Venkat diligently & deftly manoeuvred towards them. Am sure given his vast experience in large organisations, across geographies and functions, Venkat is an invaluable coach to any organization who would like to nudge their senior managers to move upward and forward" - A

"Venkat is a philosopher, prolific thinker and has people development as his passion. I have worked with Venkat as a colleague while he was the head of business technology function/CTO for Johnson & Johnson Medical India and have always gained perspective from his experience and reflections. He is a prolific reader and his knowledge is vast. In 2020, I had requested Venkat to mentor and coach one of my team members (who was being groomed for higher responsibilities within the organization) as a part of a coaching assignment. I am not only delighted to see the impact of this engagement but also deeply appreciative of the process that Venkat adopted, which was confidential, allowed for frequent check-ins and helped my colleague progress towards their true potential. His coaching methods and vast experience can be a real asset. I would recommend Venkat for all executive level coaching and consultancy work to get the best out of high potential business leaders."   -

Venkat was my executive coach as a part of my leadership development plan (Jan - May 2020). Venkat has a very even keel approach in helping me find my strengths, blind-spots and development areas . He brought in a mix of self reflection and 360o feedback gathering to work with me to to chart a personalized development plan and sought to put the plan to practice in a regimented way . I immensely benefitted in the 24 -week module . Venkat coaching skills is a must have for leaders who are looking to adapt to new needs, accelerate change and boost performance

Venkat is an excellent coach who supports you in uncovering your true potential by interactive sessions. He is extremely professional, knowledgeable and has a very high ability to understand others and develop a powerful rapport with them. I was fortunate to have a series of 1:1 coaching session with Venkat and it has been a real eye opener for me. The coaching assignment with him has been pivotal to my journey in realizing my potential. He helped me to break some deeply embedded myths and past barriers that had been holding me back. Venkat’s knowledge, dedication and passion is evident in each and every session. Venkat’s efforts in connecting with the team personally for the 360 feedback & VIA assessment is highly remarkable. The insights and learnings have helped me immensely on my leadership journey. I am very thankful to Venkat for helping me to maximize my desired outcomes. I wish the very best in all he does.

"Venkat worked with me as my executive coach. He makes a heady combination of business understanding , human psychology & coaching expertise. His "take no prisoners" approach helped me identify my blind spots. Being a business leader himself with variegated industry exposure, Venkat can help develop business leaders on both business skills and behaviours. Thanks Venkat for being part of my development journey." -
