What was the key motivation that guided you to start Goals and Potentials and tell us about your journey from a Chartered Accountant to a Life Coach?
I was a chartered accountant by profession and have held positions as MD & CEO, Director on Board, Trustee, CFO – Multinationals. l have worked through geographies as well as operating and engaging at the highest level in Indian and multinational companies such as Hughes Network Sytems, Amway, Hollard, KPMG, E&Y, PWC, Deloitte, BMR, Korn Ferry, BCG, Max Life,
HDFC Life, RSA to name a few; I am culturally very well aware and sensitive.
I came across the notion that corporate people were unable to get the or impartial / fearless advice. They need somebody who can seamlessly give them unbiased suggestion/ advice/guidance to help them find out where they are heading. I have decided to do more and get them out of these challenges to help people get a sounding board which provides unbiased advice. I held a detailed and structured analysis of counselling and came up with the profession of Life Coaching. Life Coaching is not very common in India. To learn more about this, I joined Erickson International. I completed formal coaching and accreditation from the International Coach Federation, U.S.A, and I am an Erickson Certified Coach with Experience in the space of coaching.
Kindly throw some light on your professional background and experience that directs the company’s progress and molds strategic business modules for Goals & potentials?
In Goals & Potentials, I partner with my wife (GunjanBijlani), a consulting psychologist. While offering leadership coaching, I specialize in engaging with senior management and proprietors whose day-to-day decisions have far-reaching consequences for both business and the people around them. By serving as an unbiased listener, I help my Coachees/ clients to navigate the crossroads they face in their lives.
As the Indian business scenario is a combination of multinational companies and Indian family-run companies, I tailor my leadership coaching to resolve the exact problems preventing these companies and their executives from rising to their maximum potential. Solutions to problems
