The picture is appropriate because executive coaching emerged out of the more well known practice of sports coaching. Just like the sports coach helps hone the skills of a top level athlete or sportsperson and helps them build mental strength and resilience, the executive coach similarly helps an executive look deep within himself or herself and use that understanding to become more effective as a Leader.

Over the last year or so I have successfully coached two emerging leaders at a leading global energy management and automation company based out of Bangalore. During 2016 I had also coached 7 senior business heads at a global biotech and pharmaceutical company at Mumbai.

Coaching is a process in which the coach relies on the knowledge and experience of the coachee. Asking appropriate questions, the coach helps the coachee look inward and find answers to problems and and make advances towards achieving coaching objectives.

Coaching is typically provided over 6-8 sessions about a month apart.

I am presently half way through the coaching of 7 India team leaders of a Pharma/Biotech company in Mumbai, and have recently begun the coaching of 2 Bangalore based global R&D leads of a French company.
