Was useful in 2 aspects , 1st as foreigner was the understanding the culture and mindset of Indian people to recognize the true in the words and some rational around the person. 2nd as Manager of one of the largest groups of SSC was very rich fully how, what and when we need to delegate the activities, and how we can conform and create commitment and competence in our teams. Was in simple ways so now for me is more easily to identify with whom I count to delegate, support or required coaching. Since last year I started the restructure the organigram of my team in order to empower more the people that can be on the next line and reduce the quantity of direct reports. Now after one year on India my sensation as well of the team is of we achieve the 1st goal of STABILIZATION, now I working to the SUSTAINABILITY, taken clearly ideas and knowledge and pass this experience to my next level below of me. So appreciate the work and words of Jag to support me.

I am grateful to Jagmohan for receiving an excellent coaching from him on leadership impact during the 2 days workshop held at Yes bank.

Had an opportunity to participate in a 2 day workshop conducted by Jag on leadership. Frankly more than a coach, he came across as a guide who guides you through role plays, a catalyst who instigates your thinking, a philospher who reminds you to look inward and do maximum in the span of your control and most importantly a nice human being having highest regards to human values.Jag is still in touch even after 45 days of workshop and finds time to answer queries and gives guidance. My highest regards and the best wishes toJag for creating value and adding value to thousands and millions in corporate world & outside of it through his mentoring ,coaching and writing.

I had the opportunity of undergoing an “Executive Coaching” intervention with Jagmohan Bhanver. His ability to connect with his protégé is amazing. He is very easy to work with, very friendly yet very professional in handling coaching conversations. While he will be very patient in listening to your perspective, he will be very truthful while giving guidance. He poses some very relevant questions which makes people think by going inside, introspect and come up with potential possibilities towards their career development. He will challenge you, inspire you and make you uncomfortable, all for your own good. All my sessions with him were very insightful and progressive. I must say it was an enriching experience being coached by him. I would strongly recommend that if you ever get an opportunity to work with him, just jump on it and make the most of it…..last but not the least…..a BIG THANKS to Jagmohan for all his efforts & contribution towards making me a better professional.

Jag Bhanver is a great coach & catalyst for change, someone who sparks action in others. What makes him different from other executive coaches is that he goes beyond the process and is able to get to the core of the issues. He does not impose solutions but takes your thru a journey of transformation where you find solutions on your own with self-realization. He uses a technique of asking questions, which makes you think on aspects which you have thought before. He has an uncanny sense for human behaviour which enables him to help people make sustainable changes. I have found his coaching to be extremely constructive & effective. It has been a pleasure & learning being coached by him. I would highly recommend Jag as a coach to any Senior leader anywhere in the world.
