What our coachees have to say

“Sailesh is incredibly intuitive, a wonderful listener and has been helpful in me being able to see my Blind spots. He is gentle in his approach but at the same time firm. He does not solve your problems for you but shows you a mirror and a path for you to arrive at the solution yourself. His years of experience in the corporate world combined with his deep learning hunger makes for a very good combination to allow people to feel comfortable and supported right away. I am very grateful to have had the opportunity for him to hold space for me on many occasions when I was at crossroads and looking for direction. I would recommend his services to anyone who is looking for a knowledgeable and sincere coach.”
