“Sorab helped me become aware and more importantly fully accept things about me: my style of working, my weaknesses, my strengths and how I am being being perceived. He was always available, listened carefully, was perceptive and helped me think and articulate things which otherwise were difficult for me. His unique style of using graphics (hand drawn :-), along with words - spoken & written - helped with discovery and firming up of my understanding. Sorab probed deeply, didn't shy from making me uncomfortable but in a helpful & caring way. I have made changes to my ways of working (habits, rituals). I feel I have made progress, feel good about the changes I have made, and things which felt stuck earlier are starting to work.”

“Sorab has immense aptitude to plan and build a cohesive vision for his clients and the organization he works in. He has an innate ability to understand the struggles and challenges people face in organisations & the demons they face personally. He has a tremendous capacity to mirror their struggles, and then help them shift. This not only impacts their personal struggles, domestic life etc, but has a powerful implication in their interactions and actions in the business world - which impacts the bottom line of the companies they work for!”

This was my first formal coaching experience and while I have had tons of feedback and guidance in my career, this was the first time where I felt I could unravel myself as an individual and a professional and really understand what I am composed of, then pick up the pieces of my experience, skill and natural and learned instincts to focus on being a better leader. I must admit that I was not so convinced that a coach could help, but working with Sorab over a 7 to 8 month period helped me focus on the things that really mattered to me. Thank you for your coaching Sorab. I feel I now have a brother who I can reach out to share my experiences and feelings.

"I feel privileged and fortunate for having gotten an opportunity to get guidance from Sorab. During an interaction of one year, Sorab helped me get a deep insight into my leadership style, my thinking preferences and behavioral attributes. His ability to connect to me emotionally was phenomenal. This for sure helped me understand myself and build my emotional balance and overcome some of the challenges. Sorab was instrumental in bringing this transformation and helping me enhance my effectiveness as a leader."

“I had the privilege of being coached by Sorab this year. It was truly an amazing experience which brought in a lot of insights into myself. I believe I have had some significant personal shifts due to this coaching. Sorab is extremely perceptive and was able to recognize what was going through my mind - both emotional and rational level, and in the process being able to empathize completely, which then enabled him to softly guide me to look at solutions.”

“Sorab, the insights you got me to dwell upon, integrating the body, thoughts and language, were amazing. It keeps resonating in many situations. To me, you offered to be a clear mirror, still, deep and reflective, wherein and in which I could see my own patterns and paradigms. Your modesty and humility is striking when you too confess to being a learner in this process.”

"Sorab - You helped me uncover my strengths and areas of development. I am [realizing] that I need a lot of patience here [in the company]. I am 38 - and and I have begun to reflect who I am as a human being."

“I am so happy to have rekindled the painter’s spirit in me with all of your help. Thank you all of you. One Design for the space.

“The coaching was very complimentary. Sorabh has an ability to extract relevant information and then correlate to real life situations. He created safety and allowed for sharing. On all fronts I am feeling better - my role has also expanded and I just feel I am doing something right.”

“I am sleeping better, have lost weight. I am more calm and much better prepared for my meetings. I am being seen as stepping in and taking roles and handling cross-functional responsibilities.”

“Sorab has excellent communication skills and is very approachable and open. His empathy generates very high confidence. He focuses on the issues identified, discusses them and helps to deal with in a sensitive manner. He aids in understanding strengths and weaknesses, and their genesis. Helps to identify potential actions to mitigate or improve identified areas. Keeps track on actions agreed and ensures that progress is made in every meeting. Pushes and guides to stay on track.”

“…the biggest takeaway has been that Sorab has made me think, reflect and asked me tough questions. I have started creating "white" space for myself.”

“Thanks so so much for such beautiful and enriching workshop! It was so well organized in all the aspects! Everything was filled with depth, genuineness and warmth! Human Centered Design Studio created such a supportive environment. You are filled with so much of art, intellect, authenticity, love, kindness and beauty! I am so touched! Also all the participants!!! Such brilliant souls you all are. Each one of you added to my takeaways from today’s space. You all are so humble yet so gifted! Thanks to all of you from the bottom of my heart! Wish you have more such opportunities in the coming times.”

“Sorab is just wonderful as an executive coach . He is a great active listener. At the same time he doesn't flinch from letting you know your probable pitfalls . You can confide in him with confidence and that would relieves a lot of congestion in one’s chest . He is brutally honest without hurting and that is something special.”

"Sorab coached me for one year and I found this to be a wonderful experience along with result achievement. He hit my blind spot and we both started working on the same - the result was a great positive change in my personality. He always gave comfort, entered the inner core of my personality and then tried to find out ways to improve it. Even after 1 year I have high regard for him, and today I am in my new career as a country head - and Sorabh played an important role in helping me get here."
