Sonia Mehta (name changed on request)- University Professor, Pune.

“Earlier this year, I sat down to evaluate my professional and personal life. Sadly, all I saw was an under performing professional and an unfulfilled individual. The imposed isolation caused by the pandemic further increased the intensity of these thoughts and fears. I decided that it was time to seek help.

I then approached Milind and the first, exploratory session convinced me that I was talking to a hard core professional who has the best interests of his clients in mind. After a couple of sessions, we started addressing issues with a direct bearing on my relationship with myself, my family and others. These were very intense sessions and I begged Milind to override them and simply focus on productivity issues. But it soon became clear that these issues could not be ignored. As Milind himself put it, “This plugs the energy leaks”.

Within a matter of weeks, I was able to resolve, at a personal level, the life-long toxicity and resentment that I had in mind for some family members. How often do we perceive as reality what is merely our mind playing games with us? And how often our complaints are just an excuse to escape from our own responsibility to fix our relationships.

I now feel not only confident about the future, but also fully responsible for my own growth. Putting past failures aside, I am now fighting again for what I want to achieve. It is hard work of course: coaching doesn’t make life easy. But, it gives you strong and powerful tools to fight the good fight. Milind, with his experience and knowledge, will present these tools to you and teach you how to use them.

A few other things that greatly enhanced my conversations with him:
1) Milind is extremely punctual. You will receive his call at the exact minute; in the one hour that you get with him, he will not be distracted by any other call or event; he will not say, “Hang on for a minute; I need to take this call.” That hour is for you alone. I was so impressed with this that I started practicing it myself and also started demanding the same from my colleagues and students.

2) He does not impose his views on you. So, at any stage, if you find yourself disagreeing with him or not being able to follow him, express yourself, question him and engage with him.

3) Be very mindful in your sessions; he asks tough questions frequently!”
