Testimonial for Coach Hemant Deshpande

In summary, Hemant has really helped me achieve what I deserve.

I was at a point in my career where I had some kind of a vision, some kind of an idea, but really did not know how to go from the point I am at, to where I wanted to be, and that’s where I started struggling and finding it scary and overwhelming. Once I started working with Hemant, I realized that he is someone who is very simplistic and very positive. We were able to work together to create small milestones, and work in a very, very actionable manner. What I really like about that, is that he was able to work at my pace and really take off the fear and the overwhelm. Right now, I’m at a point where I’m very clear and I am moving in the direction I want to go. However, the biggest takeaway for me, has been to ask for the right amount of pay, and the right designation that I want, and this was something I wasn’t able to ask for earlier, but when you want to really give it your best, you need to make sure you get what you deserve, and that’s really what Hemant has helped me achieve.

Testimonial for Coach Sujatha Jain

I got an opportunity to interact with Sujatha when I signed up for career coaching sessions with Hemant Deshpande career coaching team . Initially I was very apprehensive about what coaching process is about, but after speaking with Sujatha I realised that I could achieve my goals myself, if I put in efforts in a right direction. In our sessions, I started getting a clarity on how I can execute things better, be it enrolling for the course in an area that I wished to up skill or how to deal with some situations in my personal life.

Not only did she understand my dilemmas, but also coached me to tackle them in an effective manner. Her coaching techniques are definitely effective as I got to learn more about myself throughout the journey. I am trying to implement some of her tips and tricks especially on behaviour aspects as well as time management on day today life. I must say that enrolling for this coaching session has certainly proved to be a right decision for me and I really thank Sujatha for making this whole process delightful.

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.

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.

I started taking coaching from Shyam when I was not sure if I am taking the right decision of leaving my IT career of 11 years to move into Health and Wellness Industry. I was confused, lost and unsure. He analyzed my personality and told me things which I didn’t even know about myself. The guidance, support and motivation were exceptional. My vision is more clear and I feel more confident now about my decision, my goals and dreams. This coaching was a big game changer for me. Thanks to Shyam and Hemant Deshpande Career Coaching.

In summary, I feel now I have a path to my alternate career and a plan to fulfill my dream.

Hi, I’m Nitin Bhagwat, I have got 17 years experience in IT industry. And I have been doing project management for quite a while. And I find that interacting with people, or training the people is something that I’m good at. And I would like to explore my abilities of soft skills training or become a life coach. And that’s where my coaching journey with Hemant began. I met Hemant in the Transformational Leadership Program that he conducted at my company. During this training, I felt I had to connect with Hemant. So I took the coaching from him for about six months as my coach. And during this coaching program what I found was, the USPs that I found in Hemant was: one, he is very knowledgeable and focused individual. Two, I found him a very warm and friendly person who could always connect with me. And third, what I found was, the way of coaching is very personalized and very helpful. And now I have a plan with me, I am working on it, and I’m really happy that I’m going to achieve my goal because I’ve started taking the trainings. I’ve actually done some workshops, and I’m practicing what I’ve learned from Hemant with my colleagues.

Hemant, A Big Thank You for the Career Coaching session series you designed and conducted for me.

It was an unbelievable experience….almost miraculous if I may say so…to get a such clarity in my thought process to achieve my Life Goals.

After having around 20 years of experience and currently working at senior management position I was sort of grappling with the way forward to achieve a balance between reaching to the Top management while maintaining a good work life balance.

Your coaching helped me to establish a link between ‘What I want’ and How to get what I want’ with the help of simple, step by step approach and powerful techniques.

It would be my pleasure to recommend you as one of the best coaches and I wish you all the very best !!

Omkar S. Phatak
Principal Consultant at Infosys Technologies Ltd., Pune

Testimonial for Coach Hemant Deshpande:

I approached Hemant when I was in a career crisis and almost an identity crisis of sorts. I did not know what to expect from Hemant and career coaching in general when I spoke to him in the beginning. After an initial discovery session, we set my questions in context and decided on overall coaching goals. That session itself left me feeling lighter, secure, and excited about the future.

Over the course of the last 6 months, through a very insightful approach, I have received continuous guidance from Hemant. Across all his sessions, he helps walk through your challenges by listening intently. Through his questions, I discovered how I think, what has limited me, and what I can do to practically work towards reducing those apparent limitations. I was nudged in the right direction by Hemant to prepare a plan for myself, but more importantly, make it approachable, flexible, and sustainable.

I really appreciated having Hemant being my accountability partner, reminding me about the power of self-appreciation and always looking at a situation not with the emotion associated with it, but simply as it is. His sessions have helped me reduce the unwarranted worries I’ve had about my capabilities, and made me more balanced and positive. I also received a lot of comfort from the examples and stories he shared, including his own life journey, which reassured me that he fully understood my concerns. I would highly recommend anyone facing career dilemmas or feeling like they are stuck in a rut, to take advantage of the patient, empathetic, and clear persona that Hemant radiates.

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:

I had an opportunity to attend hemant’s Four week “Be Your Best” group coaching program and this was an amazing experience. Those four sessions helped me realize that setting short term goals, changing Habits, working on self, helps me add more positive value in my work & most importantly it helped me to setup the SMART goal & technique to stick to goals with Eating Live Frog Method. Now I have a clear vision, a defined goal and a path towards that goal. I recommended all my friends & family to go for it . It is worth to spend 10-15 hrs of session to stream line your goals with your progress.

Most important factor, I feel stress free in my work & my backlog of work reducing day by day.

Testimonial for Coach Hemant Deshpande:

Hemant is my career coach and mentor, he is guiding me towards achieving my goals. Six months back i was worried about some decisions which i took and their consequences did not went well with my desired career goals. Hence i decided to look for a mentor who can help me in understanding these issues and guide me towards achieving these goals. After searching online i found Hemant’s website and I raised a query to inquire more about Hemant’s work and how he can help me with the current situation. After having an in depth conversation with Hemant i was assured that i can learn a lot from Hemant’s experiences and this could help me in making better decisions in future. We started with sessions focusing on my current situation, area of interests, and my desired professional goals. We started making yearly,semi-annually, quarterly plans in order to proceed towards achieving my goals.

These sessions were insightful and they compelled me to learn more about myself. I got better understanding of my thoughts and actions which eventually helped me in making better decisions. Additionally, it altered my attitude towards my profession, i started doing work more dispassionately which helped me in building effective relationship with peers and clients. I started realizing that some of the key issues which i am facing can be easily dealt with. Hemant help me with getting a clearer mind, reducing work related stress and gaining more happiness in general. I will recommend Hemant as a coach/mentor to anyone who is stuck or struggling with current situation and is keen to improvise the situation. Hemant has a wide variety of experience in the IT sector and i am sure you can learn a lot from it.

Manish Charankar
Program Manager (PMP)

Testimonial for Coach Hemant Deshpande:

I was at the crossroads of my mid-management career… struggling with stagnancy, lack of challenging projects, clueless about the growth path…I was looking for some guidance to help me decide the way forward and formulate the roadmap. I started research on the Internet for career counselors, and came across Hemant’s profile – a mid management career counselor (https://hemantdeshpande.com/how-coaching-process-works/). I was quite impressed with the scientific and systematic approach towards career transformation.

I enrolled for the 12-session transformation journey. My primary goals were to identify the options for my professional growth and how to achieve that. The journey started with the identification of my professional needs, followed by SMART goals. The next step was to identify my strengths using psychometric tests – this was perhaps one of the most insightful sessions where my inherent strengths were unearthed that not helped me understand myself but also build self-confidence. In addition, my skills were identified through my career chronology. Post this, based on my values, wants and ethics (unearthed through scientific assessments), I could explore external and internal career growth options. I have shortlisted the top 3 and as per the transformation model, built the 30-, 60-, and 90-day plan to achieve the identified career goals as well as tackle roadblocks.

These 12 sessions have helped to unveil a ‘new me’!! Each session was an opportunity to introspect and find out more and more about myself and my strengths, skills, needs, etc. and chart out the growth path. Never in my career had I so scientifically and objectively formulated the growth path.

Hemant, as a coach, during these 12 sessions played the role of a perfect facilitator! The best part is he always encourages the participant to ‘own’ each session and ‘drive’ the sessions basis the goals identified in the beginning. Hemant’s rich professional experience makes the sessions very insightful – providing objective and practical solutions/perspectives. His positive approach reflects in the insights and solutions he provides.

Thanks Hemant for devising such a wonderful career transformation model!! I am sure many, like me, stuck in the mid-career maze, will find the ‘right way’ with your amazing guidance! Best wishes!!

Sangeeta (name changed on request)
Manager, Capgemini, Delhi

Testimonial for Coach Hemant Deshpande:

My coaching sessions have been real eye openers for me. The self-introspection really helped me to understand myself better and also look at things from other people’s perspective. Neurological model was great to find out who exactly I am. Made peace with my past. I never knew it was so important. But with these sessions I came to know its importance and after doing that there was a sense of satisfaction, relief. It was like closing the long open chapter of past.
Started accepting the people the way they are. It’s very difficult though but yes due to these sessions at least I could figure this out and slowly working on it.
Have started handling my anger. Hemant suggested to use visual reminders such as images and wallpapers which helped me a lot. This has given me another perspective which I was not able to look at when I used to get angry.
My goals are now much clearer to me.
Most importantly, I have started living my life instead of focusing on others.
Superb. Simply superb.

After having to downsize my business that I ran for 10 years I was feeling very low and confused. I had concluded that I wasn’t very keen to continue with the same business and since I wasn’t clear about any other business I could do I began job hunting. But my job search wasn’t whole hearted and I guess that was the reason why I didn’t see too much success also with it. It was around this time that I felt I needed someone who could help me unravel the career conundrum I was in.
Luckily through Linkedin I was able to find Hemant’s profile. I got to know more about his services through his website & I got in touch with him on the phone immediately. I remember I spoke to 2 other coaches also at around the same time. But what got me to go with Hemant was the system suggested by him which I found practical and also his assuring words during the first conversation that sealed it for me. I was clear that I wanted to engage Hemant to help me with kick-starting my career.
At this point although I had read about coaching & what it is & isn’t I hadn’t actually experienced it at all. Luckily Hemant was thorough on that front & educated me about it. After getting to know about my story Hemant helped me by engaging some tools and having detailed discussions about the outcomes from it. This exercise helped me understand about myself better in terms of my strengths, skills & so on.
Thus started the exploration about what I could do next from those outcomes. At around mid-point of the engagement I knew what I could do next. The rest of the engagement was exploring on that & getting to action on it.
Hemant has a talking to a friend like approach as his coaching style. He would also always call on dot at the agreed time which suited me best as I would also be ready by then. He was also appreciative & encouraging about the efforts being taken by me. This would help me stay the course & act on the action steps. Also a couple of times when I missed on completing my action steps Hemant diligently pointed those out too getting me to promise revised dates by when I would complete them. This approach helped me as well.
Today I would confidently recommend Hemant’s coaching to anyone who is feeling stuck & confused about their career.

Testimonial for Coach Hemant Deshpande:

I have been doing a Full time job from more than 10 years. Since a year, I have been into new training field. I wanted to have clarity about what could I do in future. I also wanted myself to be more organized, but it had not been happening. I thought I must have somebody, some coach who will guide me and make me more accountable.

After my coaching with Hemant, within 2-3 weeks, I started working on my Beliefs as well as my habits. It worked very good for me. I found that the root cause was my limiting belief that “I am not good enough”, “Not accepting me fully”. This thought was like a breakthrough for me. I started waking up early and became more organized.

Definitely I gained more clarity and more confidence.

On scale of 10, I would give 9 marks on all the parameters to Hemant as a Coach. He is a very good listener. I learnt few Unique tools like “Benefits basket”, 3 steps, 6 daily questions to ask and many metaphors which were useful for my journey.

Surely I recommend Hemant. 100%, Because of the result I got from coaching. I came to know the root cause of issue and I am more clear on my goals now.

Hemant, thanks a lot for being my Coach. I highly recommend.

Testimonial for Coach Hemant Deshpande:

Recently I had an opportunity to attend Hemant’s four week group coaching and this was an amazing experience. Those four sessions helped me realize that I had a goal, but that was not SMART enough. During the workshop Hemant helped me define my SMART goal and then we identified the blockers and how to get rid of those blockers. Now I have a clear vision, a defined goal and a path towards that goal.

Testimonial for Coach Hemant Deshpande:

Hemant Deshpande had been my life Coach from 26th April 2016 for 8 sessions of one hour duration each week.I did not know what a life coach is until my nephew suggested that i engage a life coach as I was having issues with my son. I did not know how that was going to help and was skeptical, when i received a call from Hemant.

I must tell you that the coaching sessions had a really soothing effect on me, Hemant is a very effective communicator. He drives the point slowly and tactfully and makes you understand that your point of view is not the only correct one. He holds a mirror in front of you and makes you see clearly. He doesnt judge you at all.

He has done a great job of being my life coach. Thank you Hemant. All my best wishes to you..”

Meera Krishna

Testimonial for Coach Hemant Deshpande:

Mr. Hemant Deshpande is simply great at Coaching. During my coaching journey with him, he made me identify my strengths, skills, achievements, values and helped me move towards achieving my goals.

As a part of the coaching program, I learned the art of letting go (of things which I don’t want) and do not hold onto things as this will lead to overthinking.

The focus is now more on changing myself rather than expecting things and people around me to change. During the coaching program, he also made me understand the importance of the ‘WHY’ and ‘WHAT’ when it comes to working towards pursuing my goals.

Now, I’m constantly focusing on my career through self-development with all of my energy instead of focusing on the factors beyond my control. I’m confident now that all of my learnings will now become ‘Actions’.

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.

Testimonial for Coach Hemant Deshpande:

I was stuck in a job with no work life balance. I wasn’t sure of my future. I was looking for guidance on what my career path should be for the medium and long term goals that I have set for myself. I wanted an expert to advise me and offer ideas on how to work towards my long term ambitions of being an entrepreneur. That is when I contacted Hemant Deshpande.

While going through the coaching journey with Hemant, I found a new job which aligned with my aspirations. Some of the tips shared by Hemant helped in securing this job. I have also been able to increase my self-awareness and confidence through by discussions with Hemant. Another important result I achieved is that I have made steady progress towards my long-term goal of being an entrepreneur.

During my coaching journey, I learned many things. I learned regarding different business models, trending business ideas, smart ways to look for a target job, unique business models, leveraging the right courses among other valuable lessons.

I took a lot of important action steps during coaching journey, I researched extensively on potential business ideas. Took courses related to entrepreneurship. Started on ground actions towards setting up my own business.

My conversations with Hemant were always thought provoking, encouraging and insightful. There was one conversation which made me realize a key flaw in my behaviour and this will go a long way in improving my life. I have developed a more action and target oriented approach towards my long-term goals due to this coaching engagement.

I would highly recommend Hemant as a career coach, advisor and guide. Some of his admirable qualities include: 1) Excellent Listening Skills 2) Insightful Inputs 3) Honest Analysis and Feedback 4) Reinforced Positive Thinking

Anirudh
Consultant at IT MNC, Bangalore

Testimonial for Coach Hemant Deshpande:

My coaching journey with Hemant started in February’21 when I began to start thinking of ending my long Corporate career and starting something new that I would like to venture into, knowing that the transformation might become challenging on many fronts. Since my daughter had experienced the coaching benefit with Hemant and how immensely valuable and useful the practical guidance received by her was, I knew this was something that I needed to do to make a well thought out decision, and there would have been no one better than Hemant to help me through that.

What I experienced later was in a short sentence, “finding a new me” apart from of course gaining a lot of knowledge of the art and science of Coaching as a profession.  Many new windows of my mind opened new insights, information and knowledge was received. Basically, from the time I started in Feb to now (June 2021), I am far more comfortable and relaxed in knowing that not just do I have a GPS and Google map on my mobile, but I also a sense of where I want to head, which I would say is a conclusion and success of this course.

The coaching sessions helped me understand my strengths, weaknesses, and interests better. I realized which areas of professional or personal skills I need to focus on developing and which ones to leverage better. Hemant was patient, understanding, and empathizing. He listened and provided valuable feedback. We had some open-ended sessions, in addition to ones with a structure that was thought-provoking and inspiring. I am glad I had this experience of working with him to understand what was important for me and how to go about achieving it.

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 Sujatha Jain:

Dear Sujatha,

It gives me immense joy to pen down my thoughts about our Coaching journey. I feel blessed to have encountered and even been coached by a soul as pure and altruistic as you.

This Coaching journey with you has been more of a spiritual experience than a transactional one. It’s magical how you’re able to take a person deep within their core, make them understand themselves better and instill in them the kind of faith which makes everything seem possible.. Before I met you, I was feeling stuck at work but didn’t know which direction to go. You helped me understand my deepest expectations from life and myself and also motivated me to move in that direction. The way you keep reminding me of my strengths and life purpose, has given me the courage to embark on this journey towards living a life in alignment with who I am as a person- something that earlier seemed like a distant dream..

You have been there with me through it all- whether it was exploring different career choices, getting to know people in these industries or upgrading my skills to bring value to these places. You’ve also always made sure I stick to my commitments on the journey, something that can get difficult with the bustle of work life.

I have more to be grateful for than I can ever put into words..
May God bless you and the work that you do! I wish you all the best for all your endeavours!

Love,
Shusha ❤

Testimonial for Coach Prasad Palav

When I had first met you through Hemant Deshpande Career Coaching, I was so not clear about myself; It was dark and I used to feel so weak and drowned in my own thoughts and all that happened because I had questions around my life path; my purpose; happening to meet you was one fortunate thing which happened to me.

You as coach guided me in such a manner that I understood gradually that all the answers lie within me but that I would not have known without your guidance. You have time and again mirrored my own self to me and I then a got a new pair of eyes to see myself.

Whatever has changed in me is for a lifetime and beyond lifetime too because this is how am going to choose to act ahead with a wiser me.

The best part is that when I joined the program, I knew myself as an empty pot who does not have any life skills. But by the end of the program, I see the potential in me. I feel empowered and I have choices that I can make for my career.

You have given a beginning where I had thought it’s an end.

Thank you, Prasad and Hemant Deshpande Career Coaching.

Testimonial for Coach Shyam Kalle

After around a decade of corporate experience, I had the feeling of going round and round and not moving forward in any definite direction. I lacked clarity about next course of action for my career. That’s when I decided to take professional help to seek clarity on possibilities for my corporate career.

I am fortunate to have received career coaching from Shyam Kalle sir. Shyam sir has a knack of asking powerful questions to extract relevant information. With help of his comprehensive toolkit, he enabled me to think through and understand myself better in terms of strengths, weaknesses, skills, interests, personality, values etc. Further, he facilitated me to figure out my career purpose and then helped in creation of a career roadmap and corresponding action plan.

I worked with him for 10 coaching sessions and whole heartedly completed all assignment toolkits shared. As an outcome, I now have complete clarity on possibilities for forward movement of my career. With complete clarity, I am now able to focus on my career goals and channel my efforts in the right direction.

My sincere thanks to Shyam Sir, Hemant Deshpande Career Coaching team for helping me out at a crucial juncture in my career.

Testimonial for Coach Amit Sood
I have had the good fortune of working under the tutelage of Amit Sood at Hemant Deshpande Career Coaching over the past few months.
Each of the sessions with Amit thus far have been revelations in terms of how much subject matter there is out there to absorb & how they all play a part in how we find oneness and completion in ourselves as individuals.

I am beginning to see some positive and significant shifts in how I view and contextualize everything around me and developing a stronger internal locus of control.

It is abundantly clear to me that Amit is well versed in his craft. However, it is the way he delivers and shares knowledge that suggests he truly has a gift in how he makes them land and connect on a deeply personal level.

Whether you are seeking help on a fundamental level or a simple nudge in the right direction, you would be in good hands with Amit and I cannot recommend him enough as your Life Coach.

Testimonial for Coach Amit Sood
For some time, I felt stagnated in my career & was looking to remove the roadblocks. I was looking for a coach whose sensibilities match that of mine. Then I connect with Amit Sood at Hemant Deshpande Career Coaching . Amit made me actualize, words are powerful by the fact, we invest that power in them to mean what they mean to us. Worlds like authenticity, integrity, honor value are very powerful concepts & it’s important to have a meaning that is constructive rather than holding us up. I am able to see what I could have reacted differently at various junctures of my career, without compromising my values & the potential difference it would have made. I am confident given similar situations in the future, my responses would be construed as more resourceful. Amit made me realize, my outlook towards life & profession is a bit fixated & I need to come down from my moral high horse 🙂 His empathy made it easy for me to evaluate my actions objectively & accept required change. Some of his perspectives are truly game changers especially when it comes  to living life with integrity. This positively impacts my personal life as well. Thank you, Amit.
Words can’t express my gratitude.

Senior Manager

Testimonial for Coach Sujatha Jain
When I look back on my journey with you, initially, I wanted to discover an alternate career path. That was my aim before the start of our sessions. However, now I know and understand that it is not something that one can discover so easily. It takes time, preparation, lot of trial and error and me having to take conscious steps in that direction.
Your coaching sessions prompted me to think why I was looking for an alternate career path in the first place, and to dig deeper into the reasons. Through your continuous guidance, I understood that certain things about my current job are fundamentally in conflict with my core values (such as autonomy, flexibility and creativity), thus leading to my dissatisfaction at work. With your advice and encouragement, I decided to attempt at correcting some of those issues. I raised my concerns with my reporting manager. He listened to me and acknowledged my concerns. Things are slightly better for me at work now, at least I am no more involved in reporting-related activities and I am getting the work that I want to do. But more importantly, I have the satisfaction of voicing my concerns to my manager.  I didn’t sit back and suffer, instead I decided to take some action to correct the situation and I could do that thanks to your encouragement and guidance.
As the next steps, I am trying to do my best in my current job, and instead of trying to fight the work environment or people, I am keeping an open eye to the new job opportunities. Sometimes acceptance is a wider thing to do than to complain or fight the situation .
Also, I haven’t completely discarded the idea of taking a few months of time off for myself. I will plan and prepare for it. During the time-off, I intend to travel and focus on physical fitness. I want to read a lot and paint a lot. I think a few months of time-off for personal exploration could generate new ideas for my next steps and do good to me.
Another important thing that I would like to highlight is that I really enjoyed interacting with you and could definitely take some inspiration from you on living one’ s life. You are a fantastic human being-a very bold and a positive person. One should not stop living one’s life despite the obstacles or the hardships that may come. I applaud your spirit towards life.

Testimonial for Coach Sujatha Jain

I went through a lot of emotional turmoil after getting laid off in the middle of Covid in August 2020. I also switched my career to the field of digital marketing. Although I have been working as a freelancer for close to two years now (August 2022), I still wanted to gain greater clarity on my career path. I was also looking to learn more about my mindset. The career path I am pursuing is unconventional and uncommon. There are days where I have a sense of fear and uncertainty about my future.

I had known about Mr. Hemant Deshpande’s coaching since sometime. He is known to help people with career transition and discovery. He connected me with Coach Sujatha from his team.

I got the answers to all my questions and concerns through Sujatha’s coaching. She helped me by assessing my strengths, weaknesses, skills and values. Sujatha came across as a very knowledgeable coach. She is a terrific listener, she got me to share my past experiences, my career at present, my goals for the future and put it in a broad and holistic perspective. She came to each of the coaching sessions well prepared. She had made notes and remembered everything discussed in the previous sessions. It might seem insignificant to some, but this showed her professionalism and commitment as a coach. She is genuinely interested in helping me and seeing her clients succeed.

Through her coaching, I got an objective and holistic view of my strengths and my mindset. I have gained greater confidence and clarity on my strengths and areas I can improve upon. I have learnt about my values, i.e. what motivates and energizes me, and what takes my energy away. I have also gained insight into how I can accomplish the goals I have set for myself.

I strongly recommend her for anyone looking to make a career transition or gain greater clarity and direction in his career. She will objectively evaluate where you stand and what’s the best path ahead for you.

Mr. Hemant Deshpande is simply great at Coaching. During my coaching journey with him, he made me identify my strengths, skills, achievements, values and helped me move towards achieving my goals.During the coaching program, he also made me understand the importance of the 'WHY' and 'WHAT' when it comes to working towards pursuing my goals.Now, I’m constantly focusing on my career through self-development with all of my energy instead of focusing on the factors beyond my control.

I am very thankful to Prasad for coaching me. Coaching has completely changed my outlook towards life. You patiently guided me after listening to all my goals and discussing in detail every goal and we shortlisted them to 3 most important Goals. You were holding me accountable for my actions which was one of the main reasons i could achieve what i am today. Your coaching is the main reason I have learned to control my anger to a great extent and be alert in everything I do to reduce my carelessness. People around me felt the change in my behavior and they started appreciating it. Thanks to you, only because of your coaching I even got a promotion in my organisation. I would continue to follow the learnings and take it forward to the next level.
