I sought his guidance to enhance my leadership skills and improve team dynamics in a rapidly evolving banking environment. Rakesh used insightful questions and structured frameworks to create a highly personalized coaching style that encouraged meaningful self-reflection. His empathy and strategic insights were invaluable in helping me navigate complex challenges effectively.

Rakesh is an incredible leadership coach and I thoroughly enjoyed working with him.

Rakesh helps you understand your key challenges and I developed skills in situational leadership for managing experienced team members, the ability to say no more, performance management and developed a plan to take my career international.

He gives actionable activities with accountability and I use many of the techniques and insights I learnt daily to be a better team leader for 15 people. My team and I can recommend the impact that Rakesh has made, thank you Rakesh!

Rakesh is an excellent coach. He loves what he does, he is experienced in coaching and in life. I learnt a lot with him during 6 months this year.

I compare him with a work psychologist. In our first session, he explained me that he was the car, and I was the driver, deciding what to work on, for how long and in which depth. As he had been CEO of Audi & Jaguar, I was confident it would be a nice ride!

Rakesh provided me wonderful coaching. I appreciated his availability, flexibility, and authenticity. He made me get out of my comfort zone and progress consistently. He has a very structured approach in 4 steps: awareness, knowledge, implementation, and measurement.

My goals were to progress in 3 areas: time management, influence & convince, and strategic thinking. We spend many hours working on that, and I am very happy with the results. My leadership style is more situational now. I have gained confidence and changed my posture as a result. I also have a better work life balance.

I will conclude saying that this coaching opportunity was the best experience ever! I will certainly recommend Rakesh. Thank you Rakesh !

I know Rakesh for the last more than 40 years now and witnessed him being groomed up as a successful professional & entrepreneur for over last 4 decades now. He has not only rotated his functions in various business set-ups but also changed the Industries that he worked for and everything was done so successfully. There have been few outstanding qualities that make him stand apart and these, all together, speak so well of his overall personality which can be summed up as him being hard working, daring decision-maker, Perseverant with positive Attitude towards life & work simultaneously as well as possessing excellent Planning, Organising & Managing skills. Combining all above with his outstanding mentoring, coaching, advising and consulting skills, he has now, so successfully, ventured into his new activity of being the "Chief" of "Knowledge Wizards" imparting his knowledge bank with other professionals from different Industries. I wish him grand success in taking not only this venture but everything that he is involved with, personal as well as professional, to the greatest heights. No surprise here that possessing so daring traits, he is also known as "Rocky" is his closed circle 🙂
