Testimonial for Coach Hemant Deshpande

After rigorous academic training (MS and Ph.D.), and more than a decade in the industry, I felt a need for a coach who can observe me and give feedback on steps to correct (just like a sports coach). I enrolled with Deshpande coaching, with Hemant as a career coach for almost 6 months. His guidance and advice completely transformed my view of people, processes, and personal professional growth. Some crucial lessons learned: a) Success is very personal and unique to an individual. b) People take on roles to aid a company in achieving its mission and vision. This should be kept in mind while working in a team. c) A strategic mindset is needed for personal as well as professional growth. Always strive for growth-oriented roles in your organization. d) An open, assertive dialog with senior leadership, highlighting your unique strengths and their value to the organization is critical. I took these points as my guidelines and was magically promoted to the role of Technology Head of IoT platforms and solutions. My career has transformed dramatically after coaching sessions with Hemant. His organization is critical for growing leaders in the industry, who will take India to the next higher level of development and progress. Outstanding and meaningful advice to take your professional career ahead.

Testimonial for Coach Amit Sood

It was during the “Discovery call” when I first got to interact with Amit Sood at Hemant Deshpande Career Coaching. “All our lives, we have been focusing on our weaknesses, it’s time to further our strengths” was among the first things that opened up a new window for me. As we progressed there were so many other perspectives that I got introduced to.
I get amazed to see how he is able to connect the dots. He is able to break open and present the truth in raw form, the truth had always been as present as every breath, yet invisible to the eye, harming you in silence. But only breaking open is not enough, it has to be stitched back and healed, which Amit Sood seems to be an expert in. I have begun to see my life change gradually.

It’s great to have someone who can help you discover yourself and empower you to live to your fullest potential. I feel fortunate that signed up for coaching with Amit Sood.
He earns my highest respect and recommendation as a (life-transforming) coach.

Shyam Kalle was able to help me realise my career path in the first few sessions itself by asking meaningful and relevant questions. He helped me realise myself – strength and weakness and overcome my fear on things that really doesn’t matter and it is just a mind block. Through this entire coaching journey he has shared his industrial experience that means a lot for me. I also got my promotion at work implementing the strategies and techniques I learnt throughout the session. Thank you so much Shyam and Hemant Deshpande Career Coaching.

Testimonial for Coach Hemant Deshpande,

Happy to let you know that recently during the annual conference I was recognized 5 times for my achievements at work. This wouldn’t have been possible without Hemant’s guidance. A few months back, I got in touch with Hemant at a time when I had entered a new domain in my career and I was like a headless chicken trying to do all sort if things.

Hemant proposed a path after finding out my strengths & weaknesses. It was a strategic approach hence I found out what I was doing wrong and what is it that I need to concentrate upon. He helped me channelize my thinking in understanding what I am good at than wasting time on what I am not good at. Thanks to the weekly connect I was able to assess my actions throughout the week and discuss with Hemant. He always grounded me and helped me to focus on my goals. Hemant has a good sense of humor which lightens the conversation and makes it interesting.

Overall I have become a better individual in my career and personal life. All thanks to Hemant in helping me reinvent my career.

Testimonial for Coach Hemant Deshpande:

In summary, life looks more promising. I feel confident, I feel excited. The way I was 10 years ago and it’s all thanks to Hemant.

Hi, I’m Manasi. I’m an HR Manager, working with healthcare industry. I was feeling absolutely directionless. I was feeling demotivated and scattered about my personal and professional life. I’m a single mom and I was always looking for appreciation from family as well as on my professional front, but was very demotivated about things not going right in my life, which I wanted to do. And I was doing kind of transactional job and I wanted to get into a very strategic role and that’s where I contacted Hemant. We started with our coaching sessions from February onwards. In about eight sessions, he has helped me to build myself, start appreciating myself and look at the positive side. We had affirmations being written down, we had value exercise, scale exercise, you know, being done for myself. And then we figured out by resume building, by networking, working on LinkedIn profile, increasing my network on LinkedIn, and helping me to basically now land up an opportunity with an MNC where they have offered me HR head position. All this has been done because of Hemant. With the coaching session from Hemant, I think I have now figured out what I want in my life and hence I’m getting more and more offers, I’m giving it a shot to go and appear for these interviews where I can be at a HR head position.

It has also changed my life in a way that I started appreciating my son more and he also now loves to be with me instead of just running away from me. My mom has become happier because I’m getting many more offers my way. So it’s all Hemant, who has to changed me from what I was he rebuilded me from where I began. And I think it’s all thanks to him that my life looks more exciting and I feel more energetic and I feel absolutely confident that what I want in my life now.

Testimonial for Coach Hemant Deshpande:

Deshpande sir had been my career & life coach from Jun 2020 to Nov 2020. This was a totally new journey for me. I was looking for guidance in mid-career transformation. That time, I did not know what a career & life coach was until my husband suggested a life coach when he saw Deshpande sir profile on LinkedIn.

It was a magnificent coaching journey. The new experience I never had before. And it turned out to be a totally life-changing experience in professional as well as personal life. The coaching sessions were an eye-opener for me. Brought a new way of looking at things. Improved on my Emotional Quotient. Better in handling things in personal as well as in professional life. I came to know myself better. I could work on the weakness that was holding me back from moving ahead. Also, could know my strengths better which I will be flourishing further.

Hemant sir is a phenomenal coach. He is a very good listener and soft-spoken. By asking the right questions he always holds a mirror in front of you where you discover the answers by yourself. He does this without getting biased and judging you.

I am really happy and lucky to have connected with Hemant sir as my career & life coach. Would like to be associated with him for life.
