Testimonials
“Kanchan is a tremendous executive coach and leadership development professional. Kanchan has a unique ability to listen with curiosity while providing feedback for development. She provides a confidential sounding board for racialized leaders and understands the challenges many Black and racialized employees face within the Canadian corporate environment. Kanchan coached me towards increased emotional intelligence through open and REAL dialogue. I gained insights into goal setting, new ways to approach complex conversations and, most importantly, provide myself the grace to make mistakes and improve. Kanchan, you're incredible. Thank you.”

“Kanchan is an executive coach in a class of her own. She knows precisely how to build a relationship that will let you search for and find the kind of insights that lead to break throughs. I consider my experience working with her among my greatest career learnings.”
Heather Logan
Executive Strategy Lead
“Working with Kanchan for the last 3 months has helped me in a way no testimonial can really ever cover, she has not only been an amazing coach but also a caring mentor. Her kindness, willingness to share her own experiences and wisdom while listening closely, are all qualities that I’ve learned from. Beyond that, as a coach she has always tried to help me become a better version of myself by gently leading the way to a better perspective. Kanchan has a unique way of making you feel at ease from the first session and pinpointing valuable insight from the clumsily shared information. Our conversations and multitudes of "AHA! Moments" have not only shaped my career path as a future leader but also personal life with lessons that I will hold and cherish forever. She has truly helped me uncover my power, power that I never knew I had in the first place.”

“Leadership coaching with Kanchan has been such an enjoyable and transformative experience. Most impressive has been her ability to guide/nudge/push me patiently but purposefully in achieving my objectives, help identify my blind spots and inspire my growth. I especially appreciated her ability to listen attentively, provide feedback and challenge me with alternate perspectives. Kanchan draws easily from her wealth of expertise to share insights and guidance that I will continue to draw from. Kanchan is truly an exceptional coach!”

“Kanchan created an enlightening and supportive circle of women of colour (WOC) coaches from around the world. Every topic and exercise was beautifully curated by Kanchan's commitment to have a deep personal exploration of ourselves first. It was lovely to be in the company of these powerful and vulnerable WOC coaches, which made me realize and take comfort in knowing that I was not alone! I highly recommend joining the next circle!”

“Kanchan took me through a journey that I wouldn't have been able to do on my own. Having her as a coach helped me both professional and personally. She asks thought provoking questions, give me stretch assignments without taking me out of my comfort zone. She can read people, adjust her style/approach while being completely relatable. I would recommend Kanchan to anyone who wants to improve, or simply, discover yourself for the better.”
