How Coacharya Programs Fit Together

Learner Testimonial

Coaching has been a journey of self-discovery for which I will be ever grateful. 

Prakash, my mentor during the Coaching Foundation with Coacharya, was like a safety net. With him around, one could dive into the depth of the human mind without fearing being lost. One could circle around, go on asking questions and he would patiently watch over you. The best part was you will ask a long winding question and Prakash would respond in minimal words. I learnt the art of clean language by simply observing him. Am grateful for how he has been handholding and nudging us ahead on this path. 

The experience was immersive and intimate like that of a family where we had authentic conversations, supporting and motivating each other. My first conviction in coaching came when my peers coached me and it completely changed my perspective on how I was looking at some of the situations of my life and myself. Looking at life through this new lens is liberating and empowering. 

I would strongly recommend coaching to all those hungry to evolve and grow. To all those who desire to live a meaningful life and make a difference in the lives of others.
