Each time I interact with any of the coaches from the Coaching Foundation of India, I learn something new. I will not hesitate to credit CFI for several new things I have learned over the past 10 years. I am grateful to CFI and its coaches.

B. Thiagarajan, Executive Director, Blue Star

This year we’re introducing the coaching concept in a new way for the next level of leaders. As they take on business challenges, they are also going through a personal transition and transformation into being great leaders and we’re seeing the positive impact of that in the organisation.

Kavita Singh, Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO), Hindustan Zinc

“CFI has brought an edge to our executive coaching. I especially appreciated CFI’s ability to use a network of coaches to find the right coach for each person; and their ability to ‘project manage; to deliver quality and results over more than a dozen individual coaching engagements. We continue to work with CFI extensively across our whole group of companies, and I would not hesitate to recommend them as a partner!”

Harsha Viji, Managing Director, Sundaram Mutual

“CFI’s coaching has greatly benefitted our executives and also our company. The coaches went quite deep into the personality of the individual coachee and fine-tuned their coaching approach specific to the coachee. We have seen significant improvements in our executives after the coaching exercise. CFI’s coaching has opened a new vista for us for our employee development programmes, as they also prepare our executives for the next role. CFI also provides tailor-made solutions for specific requirement. The methodology adopted by CFI is unique and liked by the coaches.

We remain connected with CFI and explore new opportunities to engage our executives for their improvement both on the career and family front.”

“Classroom sessions were extremely lively and interactive and a practice session after every presentation was unique and great learning experience. The internship was rigorous and the seniors’ supervision was very reassuring. Excellent programme.”

Ashok Dhingra, Executive Coach & Management Consultant, SABMiller India

“Two things to be lauded about CFI – Firstly, their coaching process – it was clear, never straight jacketing me as a coach, it allowed me to tailor-make my approach as per the requirements of the coachee. It was for the coachee, what the coachee wanted to do and had a completely coachee centric approach. Secondly, it was their robust supervisory support system. Overall, CFI gave me a sense of fulfilment as I saw my coachees move into larger roles.”

Oscar Briganza, CEO Coach, Ex-Executive Director, Marg Ltd.

“The experience has absolutely blown me. What I like about the CFI methodology is its human-centric approach, it’s all about helping the coachee. Another facet of CFI I highly appreciate is that it is an extremely ethical and value-based organization.”

Anant Talaicaur, Advisor & Former Chairman & Managing Director, Cummins India

“One of the positive features of CFI is their diligent approach. They have a rigorous framework, and they approach it with a lot of focus and attention.
They maintain confidentiality with their coachees very seriously and that gives the coachees a lot of confidence and trust to share their challenges. They helped build leaders within our company and I thank them for getting the coaching culture within our organization.”

Balaji E, President, People Solutions, TVS Supply Chain Services Limited

“The PGPEC programme has been a great journey of self-discovery as we got the opportunity to interact with outstanding professionals, understand ourselves and also build our skills as effective coaches. This course has been meticulously planned and the faculty show great commitment to the whole process. We will continue to benefit through various interactions throughout this year.”
