She had assumed executive positions in key industries such as Information Technology and Finance and is a huge believer in the transformative power of coaching. Her coaching portfolio includes helping multiple business leaders in the Fortune 500 companies experience a paradigm shift in their perspective of management and organizational excellence. Building on her years of experience as a high-level executive, Suman can share valuable personalized insights to renew her client’s goals and thinking through an evocative approach.
I’ve benefited greatly from the coaching sessions with Suman. I’ve basic knowledge of what the coaches do. Rather than pose formulaic questions and expect me to answer them all by myself, I was glad that Suman shared her candid observation with me right from the start. She inserts the questions deftly to provoke my thoughts and dispenses constructive suggestions when needed. I would say that it was an excellent combination of concepts and personalized insights, with some nudging, built up progressively over the series of interactions. We’ve managed tobuild a relationship of trust, based on which Suman has been able to serve as a mirror, reflecting the areas I had that consciously or unconsciously chosen to ignore. Even though I’m not quite in the state that I want to be, I certainly have a sharper awareness of the areas that I need to work on and have been motivated to make those changes day by day.
