Executive Coaching, Keynote Speaking And Leadership Workshops

Executive Coaching for Leaders

CREATING CLARITY

Executive roles can be complex and isolating. Binod’s coaching creates a confidential space to challenge assumptions, examine difficult decisions, and confront blind spots. The work is direct and practical, helping leaders gain clarity, sharpen judgment, and move forward with purpose.

Leadership Workshops And Corporate Training That Actually Sticks

THINK. DECIDE. LEAD.

Leadership is tested when pressure rises and the stakes are real. These workshops focus on how leaders think, decide, and communicate when systems, politics, and people collide. No theory. Just practical insight leaders can apply immediately inside complex organisations.

Keynote Speaker for Events Across the globe

IDEAS THAT STAY WITH YOU

Drawing on three decades across boardrooms and entrepreneurship, Binod challenges comfortable assumptions about leadership, power, careers, and culture. His talks cut through jargon and surface the patterns shaping modern organisations, leaving audiences thinking differently long after the keynote ends.

What Leaders Say After Working with Binod

Binod is an exemplary speaker with the ability to turn a very complex subject into an easily digestible and enjoyable session. Our participants benefited greatly from his teachings and his expertise. His friendly style and personality allowed our participants to connect with him easily and benefit immensely from his teachings. I highly recommend Binod as a speaker and facilitator.
- Mona Tavassoli Founder, Mompreneurs, Toronto
Binod is an amazing speaker. His presentation on “Bridging the Skills Gap” was really insightful. I could relate to so many areas of his personal story. His experience in overcoming challenges thrown at him over so many years and his insights into mountaineering – how it teaches you to embrace failure and yet keep on moving forward- would have motivated many individuals.
- Nikhil Bansal VP, OakNorth Bank, Bangalore
Binod ran a session for our Group of HR Professionals entitled: “Coaching Your Future Leaders”. His presentation was very insightful and interesting and was deemed very relevant given today’s challenges faced by people leaders. His extensive knowledge coupled with his robust work experience shone through his presentation. I also appreciated his open style and commitment to deliver an excellent presentation as he made sure that I am happy with the content by holding several conversations with me prior to the event. I highly recommend Binod to anyone who’s looking for an insightful speaker!
- Mark Galea CHRO, , Malta
I had the pleasure of attending a session by Binod Shankar on ‘Women in Leadership’. The depth that Binod went into gave the audience a taste of what women face in breaking through the glass ceiling. His practical advice on how ‘stuck managers’ can advance their careers by increasing their influence at work and being more visible was really simple when you think of it in hindsight but not many make a conscious effort to do them.
- Eugene D’ Souza CFO, Sony Middle East, Dubai
Binod was an exceptional speaker. His session on “Finding Your Values” was truly inspiring and thought-provoking. Binod’s ability to connect with the audience on a personal level was remarkable. His practical insights and real-world examples made the complex topic of values easily understandable and applicable. I highly recommend Binod as a speaker.
- Ritesh Singh Director, Imarticus Education, New Delhi
I attended Binod’s session-” Let’s get unstuck ” in Sept 2024. Binod is a no- nonsense guy. Honest and passionate in his work. Tough but realistic in goal setting. I highly recommend Binod for those who are bold enough to make a change to live their values to the fullest.
- Rashita Puthiya Senior Lecturer, Middlesex University, Dubai

“What started of as a random breakfast idea is now evolving into a beautifull quarterly ritual. It feels amazing to be with a bunch of like-minded professionals; who engage in enriching conversations without the need to filter thoughts (no judgments at all), like to express opinions, seek answers and just have fun together”

“These are important topics that don’t usually get enough coverage or occupy much of our mental space ; To have the platform to reflect, listen, and discuss this openly with such a diverse and talented group of people is quite a privilege”.

“The atmosphere in the room was electrifying and full of positive energy. Each participant shared their journey, personal experiences, success stories, failures with learnings and answered questions posed by the group in a very transparent manner. The experience, wealth of knowledge, the humility, the authenticity and openness of the participants to contribute and provide feedback was really impressive. They actually held up the mirror so you could see the ‘real you’ as well as shared pointers on how you could do things differently to positively affect the outcome”.

“The ‘Break Free’ group is an eclectic group brought together by Binod Shankar. While it may seem like there may not be an obvious common thread or connection, all of us, individuals with different backgrounds, interests, skills, and perspectives come together to learn from one another and become better versions of ourselves”.
