Sachin Saksena (name changed on request) – Senior Creative Professional, Singapore.
“To say I was struggling with major issues in my new ‘dream job’ would be a gross understatement!
It was within the first 6 months of working with this global organization in Hong Kong when I first spoke with Milind. My professional career was a complete mess – there was nothing right happening at work. My team did not have confidence in my judgement or guidance, my leadership thought I was a wrong fit, and I was hating every minute spent at work. My confidence was rock bottom, and I felt that all my past successes were flukes.
It was probably the darkest phase of my career. Worst of all I was willing to take only about 5% ownership and accountability to what was happening – the balance 95% was everybody else’s fault!
Milind made me open up to completely different perspectives on how things were playing out. The biggest breakthrough for me was to become aware of the ‘random meanings’ & ‘stories’ we all attach to mundane situations & further complicate our lives.
My journey to regaining my mojo and confidence was a long and arduous one, which continues even to this day. Goes without saying that Milind played a key role in my ‘recovery’.
As a person – Milind is great at building trust right from the word go, so it’s awesome to be able to confide in him with just about anything. His brain manages to retain copious amounts of ‘insights & quotes’ that can immediately bring about some ‘a-ha’ moments and alter the discussion!”
