The scalability of technology and the strength of innovations across industries have significantly spurred changes in the business and corporate world today. This shift calls for an evolved leadership approach and enhanced skills, that enable leaders to comprehend the changing business dynamics and provide innovative solutions amidst a constantly changing work ecosystem. Leaders today are turning to executive coaching to elevate their leadership style and keep up with the ever volatile and shifting industry & business landscape. With the realization & recognition by top executives of the benefits of Executive Coaching, this industry is being propelled to a path of structure, growth, and profitability.
Ritu Julka (Founder of COSCULPT, Executive Coach & Organization Development Consultant), is a highly regarded name in the world of coaching. With over two decades of experience across industries and business verticals in the region – Retail, Automotive, Real Estate, Financial Services, Big Four Consulting, and Education, she brings the strength of business acumen and awareness to her coaching expertise.
COSCULPT envisions to make the transformation of individuals and organizations simple, seamless, successful and sustainable, enabling them to realize their deep potential and the force of the collective system. The uniqueness of COSCULPT lies in the experience and expertise of its Founders, Ritu Julka and Gul Israni, who come with nearly three decades of corporate experience across industries and integrate the real world of work in all the services it provides. “We have a keen sense of business and leverage that experience to support leaders and organizations as they steer business transformation.
Another key attribute is our approach, as we believe in looking at things from a systemic perspective and bring integrated solutions to organizations with coaching as the underlying foundation. To give an example, if an organization comes to us with a requirement for the digital transformation of its HR processes, at the face of it, this looks like what one would term, the ‘hard’ HR piece. For us, whether it is process or technology, the key underlying element is always People. So, we advise on processes and enable the digital shift, but more importantly, we coach the leadership and their teams to arrive at the best solutions that they own, are accountable and responsible for. This makes the entire engagement far more enriching”, says Ritu Julka, Executive Coach & Organization Development Consultant.
Working with a Big Four consulting firm, COSCULPT supports the development and transition of its leaders as part of their career progression plan. It facilitates a 360 for each leader, helping them to identify their strengths and areas of improvement. This is followed by a coaching journey that enables rich discussions to help leaders further leverage their strengths, recognize the gifts of their liabilities, and work to deal with or overcome their disruptive tendencies.
COSCULPT’s systemic coaching approach has been significantly successful in the cross-generational work with family businesses while working on Next Generation governance for development and integration into the family business. One of the key issues within organizations and family businesses today is succession and integration. Systemic coaching is powerful in helping generations to understand each other better, to have open dialogue, and to enable difficult conversations, all aiming to sustain family business legacy.
Regarding Culture coaching, COSCULPT is in partnership with Hofstede Insights bringing data-driven keen analytics to organizations to create their culture map. This is facilitated through culture assessments to assess the ‘As Is’; identify the ‘To Be’ and help lay the foundations through an integrated Systems Coaching approach to build a strong organizational culture that cascades through all levels of the organization. COSCULPT’s mantra is ‘co-creating and shaping minds, relationships and organizations’. It believes in, and is almost fanatic about the word ‘co-creating’. Every individual, every relationship, every organization or system is unique; and yet, it belongs to the human genre! Hence, while constantly keeping abreast of global experiences & solutions that it brings to its clients, COSCULPT is conscious of the distinctiveness and individuality of every client.
“Assessing the current, understanding the desired state, and analyzing the journey in between to cover the gap, is critical to every engagement we undertake. When it comes to Executive Leadership Coaching, as certified practitioners with The Leadership Circle, we facilitate a robust 360 profile assessment. This enables a deep dive into the leaders’ current Creative competencies and Reactive tendencies. At the very start of the engagement, the leader sets the ‘Flag on the mountain’ of where they need to get. The coaching engagement that follows enables that journey with concrete outcomes”, asserts Ritu.
COSCULPT’s greatest strength is staying relevant by being closely involved with businesses & their leaders
The term VUCA has never been more relevant than it is today; the world is experiencing true Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, and Ambiguity at every level no matter where one is. There are economic pressures, political disruptions, and climate concerns, and in all of this the human and business mind, heart, and emotion are trying to find its story! COSCULPT’s greatest strength is staying relevant by being closely involved with businesses and their leaders. The company has partnered with leading global institutions that enable it to stay abreast of global trends and shifts. It also affiliates with business networking groups to keep its finger on the pulse of the business scape.
