I wanted to extend by greetings & best wishes to Vandana on her Doctorate in Ontology. Vandana Coached my HODs and In my observation her coaching to this leadership team helped them explore themselves deeper and become more self aware. Having known the triggers for the key actions and decisions one makes, team has been able to respond to each others expectations well. I have seen considerable change in the team dynamics in last few months in their collaboration, teamwork & collective effort to achieve success.

I had a coaching engagement with Vandana at APTAR PHARMA ( Beauty + Home Segment).
As a coach, she provided committed expertise, bringing insights & mindful perspective to the coaching relationship. Vandana makes the coaching journey very effortless and internalised for a coachee to take the lead and set the goals.
Lot of emphasis was to build self-awareness around the various roles that I played and multiple dimensions associated with me as a Total Individual. It was a powerful intervention and coaching process adapted to individual circumstances where I was meeting myself once again, at the commencement of journey. The next evolution in the journey resulted in formalising what success means, what I need, when do I need it & why do I need it.. A purposeful change on overall basis.
Thank you Vandana for the impactful engagement and looking forward to continue our conversations. Wishing you all the best.

I had Executive coaching sessions provided to me by Vandana, which were part of my organisation requirement.
Vandana is very methodical and process oriented in her approach but at the same time she helped me to open up with my own analysis of my strengths and weaknesses and coached me on how to improve on those areas. I must acknowledge that the sessions were extremely helpful and helped me a lot to analyse situations and requirements more objectively and effectively and take better decisions.
I am sure Vandana is helping many Corporate leaders very effectively in their professional journey and I wish her all the success for future.

STABILITY, was the word I was looking for, this was a combination of lot of other words which used to sum up my mind and lacking in life. Whether it be personal or career all was just jumbled up. It took a lot of time in the 1st session for me to open up my mind but slowly and gradually things changed as Vandana consistently pushed me and gave complete support to open my mind. I had taken the sessions to achieve a desired time set goal in my professional life which had in turn helped me in my personal life. Every new session used to work on a new obstacle which is rather just a word for me now. The only important thing that I have learned is it’s all in the mind, inhibitions our negative thoughts for which we need help of such professionals to help us out. THANKS to the sessions and in turn Vandana for helping me out in my Career Growth & achieve my dream goals

Coaching is a journey within and then inside-out. My work demands many aspects like a team player, great leader, go-to person, high emotional intelligence, diplomacy, lots and lots of patience, and listening skills and much more… It is a highly complex and stressful job. I started my Coaching sessions with Vandana to become good to great. As we went along the sessions, I recognized my infinite potential and I was so limited in my being. My values and perspectives have changed for better. Vandana came across as a friend on the Coach seat and I was so comfortable working with her. She is highly focused, committed, patient and great listener. She ensured my comfort working with her and when I followed her, results are remarkable. I Thank her for truly becoming my Transformation Partner.
