Success Stories from Our Alumni

Amazing workshop on leadership, you cannot miss this. A mentor! A leader! A Guide! All these are synonymous with coach, Dhawal! A person who will not only guide you with the right approach but also will inspire you to give your best. With a warm smile and a “Go-Get It” approach, he will ensure you keep up the motivation level. His teaching style of providing frameworks helped me take quick control of my managerial role. I was also able to convince my senior management to hire an additional team member in my team, which made us more efficient.

Excellent course on team leadership, extremely helpful The team leading course helped me to focus on a few key areas which are of essence to run a team smoothly. Most of us either have not paid attention to or have ignored those elements. Also, the live support sessions helped me to know and share a few real-time on-the-job scenarios/solutions which were very useful for me to handle.

I really enjoyed the Program. Especially the practical examples and scenarios shared. The hands-on practice in class was particularly helpful for me, as it allowed me to apply what I've learned. Even though I don't often work with cash flows, revisiting them in class brought back memories and enhanced my understanding. Learning new formulas like goal-seeking and scenario manager was also valuable. Overall, I give it a hundred percent—I feel confident and grateful for the wonderful teaching.

Amazing content, absolutely value for money I would certainly recommend the team leading course to all the professionals targeting managerial roles in their careers. Dhawal is very well informed and his ability to impart knowledge to the participants is commendable. The best part is, he relates his personal experiences and shares instances of his past and current roles, which adds up as an advantage for the participants. The course is highly practical and instills confidence in the students to take on managerial roles boldly.
