About Arjun
I bridge gaps and solve conflicts, help people connect to their best, proudest selves, so they can find their voice, grow vibrant teams as well as impactful organizations. My journey began in India where I spent my formative years on the debate stage, captaining my school and college teams both there and later in college in the US too. Since then have spent more than half my life in the US, my new home. I’ve been fortunate to travel to many countries and meet even more varied people of different cultures - teaching cultural communication is part of my work, so I help people understand each other and get on the same page. I come from 20 years in academia, teaching the best and brightest both in undergrad as well as MBA, but also the most at-risk students, gaining an appreciation for the patience needed to impart learning to those who need it most. This academic background balances with over a decade and a half of working with corporate executives, startups and small businesses of every industry - I am fascinated by business problems and finding solutions. Perfectly comfortable reading financials and P&L statements alongside communication briefs. My goal is to help people realize their dreams with practical solutions, but those solutions are grounded in sound communication and leadership research. In closing - I bring empathy to my work but also instilling the courage needed to navigate unforgiving work environments and life at large.
Why do I coach?
I coach to help talented people realize their true potential - without changing themselves or compromising on their values. Coaches and mentors shape the course of our lives, giving us the needed edge to overcome doubt and skill gaps. I had amazing people in my life give me guiding principles that shaped who I am - focusing on the people more than things, focusing on why as much as how, and always making the right choice, even if it is daunting. A coach can make all the difference between being good, and being great. My promise - I will always come through for you, giving up is NOT an option.
