Specialty
Mandeep creates non-judgmental and energized spaces for his clients to truly get in touch with what is important to them and rev up the energy and momentum to manifest their vision. His clients take ownership of their own power, leverage their own observations to get deep insight into how they may be standing in their own way, and break those bad habits. In addition, they begin to accept the world as it shows up, rather than the way they wish it would. His clients hold the courage of their convictions pragmatically, communicate their vision authentically and directly, and set about influencing the people, networks, and systems that they are a part of. This creates the enabling environments within which their organizations, projects, and people succeed. Breakthrough results begin to show up with minimal drama. Mandeep’s clients cite his depth of listening, insights, sense of humor, and openness in embracing them exactly as they are as key reasons they trust him as their coach. Many of his clients have found their work together to be transformative.

Testimonials
“Since beginning my work with Mandeep, I have been put in charge of two departments and am also leading our top priority initiative for the year. In our initial meeting, Mandeep helped me home in on a key problem that was getting in my way, over-commitment. Mandeep allowed me to discover this myself without ever pushing me. Over time we covered many topics including managing conflict, providing clear direction and handling complex feelings such as resentment. In each case, Mandeep used a coaching style that enabled self discovery without ever telling me what to do. Mandeep’s coaching style is nothing short of remarkable. He manages to totally transform the way you think about things, often with just a simple question or a gentle observation. He allows you to unlock hidden insights into yourself. Mandeep also exposes you to challenging new ideas that allow you to test out new behaviors and models while helping to guide you to the next level in your personal and leadership growth.”
