- 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.

Answers you seek

Is there a standard approach?

The concepts, principles and techniques of coaching are universal and it’s how they are applied to each situation that’s different. Binod starts with the Foundation (core beliefs, core values and traits) with all his clients. Once that clarity has been achieved, Binod focuses on the specific goal/s that you want to achieve.

What if I don’t know my goals?

Binod will help you set your goals. Certain elements of the Foundation will drive and also clarify your goals and even specific careers and Binod will discuss the options with you, each with its Pros and Cons. It can be quite an exciting and revelatory journey.

What if I also need mentoring?

A coaching session is almost never 100% coaching or 100% mentoring. Coaching and mentoring are valuable tools that a coach uses when appropriate. Sometimes with a client Binod may question and listen (coaching) and sometimes he go into domain expert mode and instruct (mentoring), depending on the situation.

How long does it take?

Behavioural change takes time and effort compared to learning a skill like accounting, financial analysis or presentation. Because unlike learning skills you have to look inside, unlearn, re learn and practice. It also depends hugely on how motivated you are to change. Binod usually recommends at least six sessions of regular coaching to start seeing meaningful results.

What does it take to transform?

Binod underwent a transformation from manager to leader years ago. There were aspects of his behavior that had to change but hadn’t changed despite feedback. The real reason it finally happened was that after many years, Binod had a clear and compelling WHY and he had a coach. Binod will help you find your why.

What are the goals that clients aim for?

Some sample goals from Binod’s coaching clients:

  1. Discover more about myself
  2. Build confidence
  3. Gain assertiveness
  4. Improve resilience
  5. Upgrade communication skills
  6. Create a personal brand
  7. Chalk out a career strategy
  8. Expand professional network
