One of the most crucial factors behind organizational success is efficient leadership. In today’s competitive world, there has been a rising demand for critical and enhanced leadership skill sets worldwide, and that’s where executive coaches come in. Over the last three decades, owing to the rising interest among the corporate and entrepreneur circle to achieve rapid growth, the Indian executive coaching sector has been experiencing tremendous growth. Among the leading leadership coaches in India, Zubin Jay Mirchandani stands out, thanks to his extensive industry experience, expertise, and client base.
Zubin Jay Mirchandani is an award-winning Leadership and Self-Leadership Coach with over 14 years of extensive industry experience as a Global Leadership and Self-Leadership advisor. As the Founder, Coach, Trainer & Author at leading leadership advisory firm Eminentsteps Consulting, he has been working with high-performing corporate leaders, entrepreneurs, celebrities, and performing artists across the world.
Helping Leaders Thrive at Work
When it comes to helping leaders develop and overcome communication or relational and communication obstacles, many lack authenticity, a marker of underdeveloped self-leadership because they have yet to overcome their fears based on limiting beliefs, blocks, and identity issues that are formed in childhood or stem from traumas.They overcompensate by trying to exert authority, by speaking loudly and blatantly, micromanaging, overcontrolling, or hiding their vulnerabilities.
In stressful situations, most revert to leadership styles that come easily while abandoning the style they once aimed to portray. Though a good leader will be able to show dexterity and adaptability in stressful situations and meet the needs of the situation, authenticity is also being aware of shortcomings and consciously working on them even when it feels unnatural. “As a Global Leadership and Self-Leadership advisor for 14 years now, I have shown how sustained behavioral change occurs predominantly through self-awareness and inner development, as well as through repetition, consistency, and habit formation. Based on the client's goals, the application of a mutually agreed upon solution or way forward not only provides motivation (as positive results accrue) but also accountability, eventually leading to permanent habit formation.
Lasting behavioral change occurs naturally when habitual”, adds Zubin.
Feel Your Force: Combining Emotional Intelligence with Habit Building
Currently, Zubin is working on his upcoming book 'Feel Your Force', soon to be released in the first quarter of 2025. The book is an excellent guide through each of the steps of his program, combining a powerful yet practical alignment of emotional intelligence with habit building while showing readers how to achieve their key objectives and goals through behavioral change.
It recounts his journey from childhood to adult mastery, working in six major world centers and becoming an award-winning coach in India while constantly working with the world's best in leadership skills. Through his personal stories and some of his senior clients’ case histories, albeit in disguised form to protect their identities, the book acts as a guide to harnessing inner force to achieve one’s goals.
Feelings are datasets or markers from within that reveal people’s emotional state, health, preferences, and so on. To ignore these markers would be foolish. The more people know themselves, especially the things they love and are great at or the things that give them the life they want, the more likely they will be happy, fulfilled, and successful. The consensus is clear, as numerous studies have attested, that those with high emotional intelligence earn more and are more likely to be top performers at their jobs.
Emotional intelligence allows us to access our individuality and learn about others so that we can reset our habits, and in so doing, feel our force
They are also more likely to deal with stress better than those with low emotional intelligence. "The book gives an exhaustive explanation of four quadrants of emotional intelligence, provides a complementary proprietary evaluation of emotional intelligence, and promotes strategies to improve on the quadrants of need. While discussing Emotional Intelligence strategies will increase awareness, there is no substitute for the development of emotional intelligence. It is advised to begin right away and invest as much effort into the process as possible, especially given its considerable rewards", Zubin explains.
Unleash Success by Feeling Your Force
Through the book, Zubin also teaches readers to leverage their emotions to attain their goals. A lot of emphasis has been given to the power of emotional intelligence (EQ), which, according to Zubin, is the most important skill anybody can learn for themselves even going forward. “Although AI is great at automating tasks based on past data, EQ can address individual needs, context-specific requirements, and complex human interactions. Creative, relationship-building, and non-repetitive task and communication-based jobs will stay human tasks. This puts additional pressure on humans to excel in specifically human-based activities, often relational, and emotional. But for ultimate success, EQ must be supplemented by habit formation", Zubin concludes.
