Executive Coaching in India
While executive coaching is now accepted globally as a powerful transformation tool, it is still evolving in many traditional setups in India. Giridhar addresses this by demonstrating the transformative impact of coaching through real-world success stories. "When engaging with organizations new to coaching, curiosity is common. I often start with a pilot program, letting them see firsthand how coaching reshapes teams and boosts business outcomes," he explains.
