Hi, I am Tushar Vakil - an Executive coach certified by the world's number 1 leadership thinker Dr. Marshall Goldsmith.
I have had the privilege of individually coaching over 300 leaders across geographies - US, Middle East, Africa, and India.

Coaching is the most effective developmental tool, period. Large organizations use it routinely to support and develop their leaders. I believe that coaching should not be reserved for Fortune 500 executives, it should be available to individuals, entrepreneurs, homemakers - everyone. Bill Gates says that everyone needs a coach! Often people don't know that they can benefit immensely by hiring an executive coach in their individual capacity. Often people don't know what to expect and how to choose the best coach.

Through this course, I want to reach the maximum number of people so that they can learn more about executive coaching. So that they know how to hire the best executive coach for their needs. And so that they learn, grow, and supercharge their performance - either in their career or for their business.

Who this course is for:

Executives & professionals looking to boost their impact and career growth.
Business owners who wants to achieve the next level of success.
Anyone who wants to achieve growth, success and fulfillment in their lives using the most effective method of behavior change
Executive coaching (aka leadership coaching or management coaching) is the most effective tool for behavior change
