Learner’s Speak – A testimonial

(Testimonial for 1:1 coaching, by CEO of MNC lifestyle apparel company) It was a great learning experience for me and I thoroughly enjoyed it. 1. The way Manish spoke and connected gave me the confidence that I can trust him 100% without the fear of being judged. This gave me the comfort to open up entirely and speak about my fears and anxieties. This acted like a pressure release valve and put me at ease for the balance sessions. 2. His ability to listen deeply and ask pertinent questions about a certain point or word that I had spoken about and then contextualize it from the standpoint of my objectives was amazing. This kept me focused on the key areas and also prodded me to think deeply. I realized that the more I responded to these probing questions, the more clarity I was getting. I was also surprised by the amount of notes he made post our call and the way he would bring it up in subsequent conversations. 3. His ability to zoom in and zoom out when required helped me to understand things in the right perspective and thus helped me in finding answers to some of my objectives. 4. His analytical and logical thought process helped me to break down each problem and look at it in smaller parts and examine each part separately.

(Testimonial for 1:1 coaching, by VP Commercial of UAE-based F&B company) It was a privilege to have Manish as my leadership coach. The process of interpreting, comprehending Hogan scores, 360 degree feedback, etc. and then concluding a way forward was done very well. The task of showing the mirror is not easy and Manish did that brilliantly. He comes across as a person who is genuinely interested in one's career progression and development. I used to look forward to our conversations as he always asked the right questions, brought a fresh perspective that stimulated thinking and was never judgmental. I have no hesitation in recommending Manish as a leadership coach. Above all, Manish is a thorough gentleman and I take this opportunity to wish him well in all his endeavours.

(Testimonial for 1:1 coaching, by GM HR of Indian Fortune 500 company) The coaching experience with my coach Manish has been one of my most enriching experiences. With his patience, open demeanour and astute listening abilities, he helped me become better at sharing; self-evaluation; self-compassion and empathy towards lives and resources I touched through my personal and professional influence. The one-on-one sessions with Manish were engaging and he was able to build a positive and re-assuring connect almost immediately. I feel more grateful towards life in general and opportunities that have come my way in particular. Post coaching, I feel highly inspired to contribute more to the collective growth of self and peers/companions. I can’t thank him enough for lending me a new pair of eyes, with the lens adjusted for inclusiveness; collective development; enhanced self-compassion; deep listening and rejuvenated passion for work. I wish him the best and hope he touches many more lives and executives in a similar manner, so that our workplaces can become our best places.
