Testimonials

We gave Aman half a day to help us kick off a quite important Sales meet we had with our team. Well not only is he a very nice person, but he was very professional and talented in the way he guided us and inspired us for the rest of our workshop. I was impressed by the quality of his intervention, and the light and confident way he managed our group.

Head of Engineering German Auto Co.

Aman and I worked together to deliver a leadership development workshop for a business unit of M&M. Aman brings immense perspective to the table, and was very receptive to our needs from the very beginning. He was able to draw an instant connection with our senior team and there was a spontaneous level of trust and comfort established with the participants. He can make people think and introspect on some of the toughest people challenges they may face as managers, and push the boundaries of their rigidly held ideas. His calmness and balance set him apart and make him an absolute pleasure to work with.

Deputy Manager Human Resources

Aman’s consultation has made a big impact on the efficiency of my business. After Aman and I worked on my Strength profile, I feel 50% more productive and also less tired mentally. I am able to direct energy to my core area and my co-founder takes on her core area. I recommend that every entrepreneur, who has dreams, wants to get things done & grow their business, have a session with Aman.

Founder Food Startup

Aman takes pains to understand the needs of the training, the business and his audience. This sincerity combined with high energy helps him establish a good connection with all participants. We did a couple of programs where he was a facilitator and he was very well appreciated by his audience in those. His knowledge of Strengthscope is excellent and his debriefing helped all of us in understanding our strength areas. In fact his debriefing on my areas of strength and the visibility of the same helped me to plan my career ahead. I would recommend him as one of the most capable facilitators.

HR Manager Pharma

Aman is an amazing story teller. I attended a workshop with him on ” the stories we tell ourselves”. One of the exercises in the workshop was to write a fictitious story. When Aman narrated his story, it had a very powerful & healing effect on me. An anger that I held within me for many years shifted. I was simply amazed at how a simple story, the way it was written & narrated could bring about such a huge shift in my life. Thank you Aman!!

He carries an openness that cultivates curiosity, and a celebration for new stories of people, cultures & profound questions. As a storyteller his uniqueness lies in sharing his stories with ease and fearlessly. You will hear clever and resourceful stories. Listening to Aman will put your whole brain to work.

Founder Consulting firm

It is said that’ KNOWLEDGE is love affair with ANSWERS' and WISDOM is love affair with QUESTIONS”. Aman very genuinely and consistently asks questions to reach the root cause, which at times shake the basic paradigms and make people think which helps one unlearn and learn. I appreciate his sense of humour which makes his sessions light. He also keeps things simple to understand which helps all participants to connect better.

One thing that keeps ringing in my head, rather biggest takeaway from one of his workshops was, sharpen your objective as much as you can! Funny, excellent orator, charismatic leader. Keep inspiring people to degrees unimaginable!

Deputy Manager Training

The best Train the Trainer session I had. His calm and cool personality makes the audience comfortable to open up and explore and enjoy the session. He is a true example of talk less and listen more where he just gives you a little push to think of ideas which are already with you. Had a great time and learning.

Trainer Telecom Gaint

A seasoned facilitator and a wonderful human, Aman’s eye for detail, tenacity and solution-oriented approach helped customize a perfect learning journey for our participants. Aman’s involvement in the action learning projects and mentoring initiative in the journey made learning more enriching for the learners. His facilitation is business driven, outcome focused and during the sessions, he was able to bring out the learnings from the participants making it a basis for the desired change in behavior. He coached the participants in their transformational journey and we had many success stories created of them. Many participants have successfully assumed leadership roles within the organization. As the Lead Facilitator of the entire initiative, Aman played a pivotal role in driving effectiveness of the learning and ROI.

Specialities

01.

Facilitation

Facilitation is a multi-disciplinary science that draws upon psychology, sociology, neuroscience, literature, training methods etc. My experiential approach to facilitation creates environments where free-flowing dialogue creates fresh insights for learners, into their context.My focus area is Leadership Development but I apply experiential methodology in all kinds of development workshops.

02.

Coaching

With years of leading teams and helping individuals excel at their jobs, I recognize the role that coaching plays in focused professional development. When used in conjunction with facilitation, it results in learners applying their insights to their jobs and taking the opportunity to review progress with their coach.

03.

Strengths

The question that stumps organisations is one of intrinsic motivation. The answer lies in helping people understand their strengths. Strengths have been found to positively impact both engagement and performance. I help you harness your strengths and those of your people and unleash the resulting intrinsic motivation back into your jobs.

04.

Engagement

Employee Engagement is a measure of the emotional commitment that people bring to their work. That human beings are powered by emotions and the role of positive emotions in employee engagement is underrated. My formula for employee engagement takes insights from positive psychology to create solutions for a workforce that experiences higher commitment to their work

I was gifted a guitar for my 9th birthday. My teacher was a Bengali gentleman called Mr. Batabyal. The guy would give me a lesson with notes and ask me to practise it and come back after one week. If I was able to play what he gave me, he would give me the next […]

For instance, in Treta Yuga, humans were supposed to be 8 feet tall; and by Kali Yuga, they are supposed to have shrunk to 6 feet, and will keep on shrinking as this yuga progresses.
