As we approach the end of our coaching sessions I would like to place on record my sincere appreciation for the intense time and effort spent in coaching me. Your approach to helping in setting and achieving my goals has been not just about the professional, but about interlinking my personal life challenges into the journey ahead. Thank you Sanjay, for helping me make the best decisions and learn to adopt the best approaches in every facet of my life.
You have encouraged, pushed, driven and made me stretch to limits I had no idea I was capable of. You listen exceptionally well and encourage me to talk through the challenges we all face but are afraid to confront. I now have the clarity and ability to cut through the noise and hone in on the real issues at hand. The best testament to your coaching may be that as issues come up that I want input on, your coaching voice is inside my head telling me the questions I want to ask, how to approach the issue, asking me what I want from the outcome.
Sanjay, you are professional, thoughtful, experienced, perceptive, grounded and real. Let me conclude by saying: “I have gone from doing the things that I thought I needed to do, in a very hurried, disconnected and driven way to being the person that I always knew I was and wanted to be but just didn't think I could or had the time to be.”

Over a year ago, when I was grappling with two things, one- a"personal circumstance" and second- "Professionally, what next!" is when I was lucky to have found Sanjay who then became my Coach.I did get a perceptible value with his coaching engagement with me at the time. But what I had not realised then was the value those insights would continue to deliver to me over a much longer span of time. It resulted in me improving on various attributes fundamentally, which I can see now, a year on from then.

"As we wade through the mires of corporate and personal life, there are times when someone walks up to us and holds a mirror to our face. They make us reflect upon, what is that we had set out to do and where have we reached. Sometimes they help us take up specific goals and accompany us through the process of achieving them. At no time do they force the direction which we need to take but persistently nudges and guides us to take our own path. Such a person we could call a “Coach”. In Sanjay I have found such a person.

Contrary to the old adage “You don’t know what you don’t know”, he has this innate ability to ask exactly the right questions to elicit deep self-reflection which ultimately leads to a impactful positive change in you. Through his unique style, I was made to work through answers on my own via a journey of readings, application and reflections. We covered a lot of ground in a span of nine months of my engagement with him, but the experience will have much longer lasting results."
