“I engaged Ashwni as an Executive Coach to help me re-energize my team and support me navigate my organisation through the challenging times.
I have found his coaching and methods very insightful and innovative. Most importantly, his coaching has enabled my journey to a different level of leadership- collaboratively working with my peers and giving more space to and enabling the growth of my team. He is very thorough and uses a variety of methods both at the behavioural level and further deeper level that has made my leadership transformation easier and permanent.
Thank you, Ashwni for your impactful and empathetic support and help me become a professional that I have the potential of becoming.”
“I have been able to handle situations and my approach to people and professional situations in a far better manner than before.
It has been an absolute joy to work with Yoshita. She helped me acknowledge my areas of development in no time and guided me towards addressing them.
My coaching sessions with Yoshita, at a time of a significant change in my professional career, were very handy in such a time.
Her empathy and patience are her assets which immensely helped me in my journey towards self-development. Sessions with Yoshita helped me recognise that there were certain strengths of mine which when in overdrive were in a way sabotaging my career growth. (It was very counterintuitive – because they were my ‘strengths’!) She helped me understand how to check my certain strengths from going into overdrive. I highly recommend Yoshita to anyone who wants to undergo professional coaching with her.”
“As a leader struggling with conflicting thoughts, I was lucky to have found Ashwni.
Ashwni is an excellent coach and mentor. He has coached me to become a better leader and, in the process, has helped me find some invaluable insights about myself. He has made me look inwards and search for limitations that tend to slow down my journey towards becoming a better leader. In the process, I have made peace with my innermost emotions and laid the conflicts to rest.
His method involves asking questions and making you reach inside your carefully guarded self for honest answers. Once you know better, he guides you on the journey to transformation.
Not to forget that he is very friendly, informal and an absolute pleasure to talk to. In him, I have found a friend, philosopher and guide.
I highly recommend Ashwni for anyone looking for his/her true meaning in life.“
“Yoshita is one of the most humble and empathetic coaches I have ever met.
Her methods enabled me to open up my basic idiosyncrasies to identify deepest casualties that were between me and my goals.
She is a treasure trove of guiding principles and puts you in the driving seat, so the attributes’ transformation is real and sustainable.
I would highly recommend her as an executive coach, in case someone is looking to open up their blind spots and energise oneself to achieve greater ambitions.”
“I became a more impactful leader and made substantial career progress in 9 months. Within the first month of coaching with Ashwini, I made considerable headway at work, such as communicating more effectively, taking frequent feedback and building trust with my stakeholders. I restructured my team and developed a razor sharp focus on my key deliverables, to increase the team productivity over the next few months.
This resulted in enhanced satisfaction levels of my senior stakeholders. I really benefited being a part of this very effective and results focussed leadership program. I would strongly recommend this program to all leaders who are serious about their career development.”
“I am really thankful for the Coaching journey that helped me to broaden my horizon and evolve as a leader.
This self exploration journey was not possible without the guidance of Yoshita, feedback and thought provoking questions.
My personal journey was equally benefitting. I could feel a clear shift in my approach which has become more Strategic now.”
“Ashwni possesses a unique blend of empathy, insight, and expertise, as a Coach. He has a knack for asking the right questions, listening deeply, and providing actionable advice that has helped me navigate challenges and achieve my goals.
Besides that, one of the crucial aspect is to create a safe and trusting environment to explore thoughts and feelings openly, that resonates with Ashwni’s style. His, beyond, personalized support, tailored strategies, and practical tools are very meaningful and action oriented, that brings positive changes in Ways of Working.
His scientific approach towards coaching has helped me develop greater self-awareness, build confidence, and unlock my full potential, as a coach and as a leader.”
“Yoshita has been the guide for me, one who shines a light on the infinite treasure of strength and courage hidden within us. I reached out to her at a time when I was sure I would not make it.
When I spoke to her, she effortlessly made me shift from doubting myself to doubting my inner critic.
Her soul searching questions, a systematic way of working through a trail of thought, her way of creating safe space to deal with judgements and her compassionate being led me to see the absurdity of my inner critic.
In the end, I faced what I had to face, through my own strength and wisdom, and came out victorious. I learnt the lesson that no matter what I face, I only need to look inside. And Yoshita has played a central part in reminding me that nothing outside of me can keep me from achieving what I aim for.
My deepest gratitude to you Yoshita for standing by my side and guiding me.”
