Poornima Singh (name changed on request) – Distinguished Scientist, Switzerland.
“I started my coaching with Milind in September 2018. Despite having a great job and a very loving & supportive partner, I found I was spiraling down a chasm of negative thoughts and felt I had no control on my circumstances. I am relatively new to working in the corporate world and was finding myself hung up on the challenges I experienced at work. As I was nearing a major age-milestone, I (fortunately) realized that something had to change. An additional thought was that I could “be the better version of myself”.
The best thing about Milind’s coaching style is that he is a great listener and his advice is always packaged with relatable stories. He has a great non-preachy and non-judgmental style. There is humor in his approach and he instantly put me at ease. I find him very principled, always punctual and well prepared.
For example, he is able to refer back to the conversation we had over a year ago! Another example of his high moral principles was when he proactively suggested that as I had been his client for over a year – I might want to reduce or stop the coaching. I however chose not to because of the value and peace the weekly sessions bring to my state of mind.
At the turn of 2020, I realized that I had become more resilient and optimistic. I am solution oriented compared to how I was in 2018. I am able to separate the problem from the person. Finally, Milind has made me a better boss. I find that I am evolving into a “coaching-style” leader.”
