About me
KNOW ABOUT ME
From Boardrooms to Breakthrough Conversations
I am Rakesh Verma, a former corporate leader now turned Professional Coach & Mentor.
For over 25 years, I led high-performing teams, scaled businesses, and delivered transformations across Indian and global organisations. Yet what truly inspired me wasn’t the numbers or titles it was the people I mentored into confident, purpose-driven leaders.
Today, I work with mid-career professionals and senior leaders as a thinking partner, helping them gain clarity, strengthen their leadership, and navigate important career and life transitions.
My coaching is aligned with the standards of the globally recognised International Coaching Federation and enriched by my training in the Stakeholder-Centered Coaching methodology developed by Marshall Goldsmith, with a focus on sustainable behavioural change and leadership effectiveness.
All within a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space where meaningful conversations lead to real breakthroughs.
With purpose. With heart. From one human to another.
From Insight to Impact: My Journey
With 25+ years in corporate leadership, I bring a unique blend of real-world business acumen and deep coaching expertise to help ambitious professionals thrive.

My Turning Point
Alongside building businesses, I was investing in my own growth. Landmark programs, ICF-accredited coach training, NLP, and Mindfulness weren't just certifications they became catalysts for transformation.
