Coaching and Agile cocktail
An engineer by education, I enjoyed the travel opportunities and challenges in the IT field. I soon realized that it was people that were really at the center of any success or failure. My career in project and program management revolved around motivating my teams to meet customer expectations. Travel to various cultures further enriched my appreciation that fundamentally people are people, across the world. As a counsellor in my organization's Employee Assistance Program, I learnt there are so many shades and layers of people. A PG diploma in guidance and counselling, equipped me with some knowledge of the years of research in the field of psychology and counselling. By now, I knew I am passionate about Coaching to unblock people, so they can reach out to their dreams.
I got introduced to Agile and its principles in its early days and it instantly struck a chord with me. Agile principles are timeless, practical and a reflection of how productive people and teams think.
I believe Coaching skills are central to bring about Agile transformation, whether its for a couple of Agile teams or implementing Agile at scale. Coaching helps in mindset change, thus bringing about fundamental change in individuals and organizations
So my aim is to bring the best of both worlds of Agile and Coaching in a unique way to help transform individuals and organizations.

Our Philosophy
Any change is not easy.
e.g. In my trek to Everest base camp, there were several moments when I felt tired, defeated, physically and mentally exhausted. I was not sure how I could continue
But I tried not to overthink it, rather I decided to remain focused on the direction of travel and my next step. Lack of enough oxygen and the up-hill climb made it difficult to go fast. Start-stop-start was hugely tiring. So we had to take very small baby steps, but maintain a rhythm!
We crossed great distances, enjoyed the company we had, did not think about where we will end up and stopped judging ourselves on our performance. We put ourselves in auto-mode with all attention on the next step
We believe that one can enjoy the journey and achieve great results, if one has a sense of purpose and direction and keep focus on the next step!
Use speed of time
The next step is not daunting as a big goal, but simple and clear.
You focus on your next step and before you realize, you will have moved a long way ahead
Enjoy the journey
Focusing on the next step gives you an opportunity to de-clutter your mind, enjoy the journey, by worrying only about the immediate action, not about some far fetched target
Get out of your own way
Inherently focusing on the next step, reduces self-judging, so you can give your best and enjoy being in the moment!
Does your goal restrict you?
You may be able to achieve much more than you think. So why get hung up about a goal, keep walking in your chosen direction, keep taking your next step.
You might surprise yourself!
