Life & Leadership Coaching

"Everybody needs a coach" - my demand was a little different, I needed coaching along with the curiosity of how coaching is done. I met with Raj in an interview and had an eye-opening coaching session. I just took that advantage again when he was taking such sessions (must mention FREE) and again had my focus back. Thanks, Raj for your help and guidance.

As a Leader, Mentor, and coach he was always a go-to person for any support and guidance.

Coaching

The coaching conversation I had with Raj Kumar Sahu was a unique experience. It never felt like a formal professional conversation with formal and popular terminologies. It was as simple and transparent as a very casual conversation with a friend. I had some questions on success in professional life. Raj navigated the conversation very smoothly to the point and helped me pour my thoughts and at the end I myself found the answer. He didn't advice me or didn't give me any hints. Very intelligently he helped me to organize the cluttered thoughts to seek the answer and it was right there. Many a times we need someone just to listen to us. Raj played that role. He asked right questions at the right instances and allowed me to get clarity. I recommend people to have such conversations with Raj. Not necessarily related to professional life. Sometimes lack of clarity even in trivial matters can act like blockers in big decisions.
