I was looking to coaching to help deal with a job loss and with my feelings of anger and disappointment at the poor behavior by that company’s management. I was also quite skeptical about coaching and people who engage a coach – I’d worked with some people who had been big Tony Robbins fans and they had been dishonest failures as people both personally and at work– including one girl who bankrupted a company with her behavior.
Akarma was great at addressing my concerns and putting me at ease and explaining the process so I could see the structure and value. The program was quite easy to understand whilst still being very thought provoking. I could also see it starting to produce results quite quickly. Akarma has an understated style - very good for someone like me who was a little hesitant and skeptical about coaching. Akarma is also someone that is not going to preach – but rather explain and question and guide. Akarma was very good at getting to the heart of issues and the reasons behind them.
I’ve found the program very useful for focusing on what is actually important, what I’m good at and what I’m not and what I need and need to change. It also helped me through a very difficult time and to focus much more on the positives. I’ve also realized that I’d been in a rut of sorts for some time and that I will need coaching / mentoring in the longer term to keep me focused on achieving change and growth
And Yes – I think this coaching process has value to all different sorts of people as it’s very tailor-able.

I met Akarma when he worked with me as an IT consultant in one of my projects at Foxtel. Since Akarma is a type of person who is easy to work with mostly because of his transparency and honesty, I remember always finding myself engaging in interesting conversations with him (and I tell you – we could go on..).
When Akarma talked to me about his program I instantly became interested and without hesitation, I said to him – “I would be glad to be in it”. And so the journey begins..
I did not quite know what to expect, although I felt positive about it so I said to myself - “I’ll go with it”. All I know since then is that every session I had with Akarma has revealed something that has changed the way I see and lived my life to this day.
This program for me has been a journey and this journey does not end where we concluded our sessions. Finding out what really counts in my life is just the beginning. Now it’s time for me to make this life count!
Akarma, I am forever thankful for this experience!

You have helped me discover so much about myself, both good and not so good aspects of my personality.
Not just that you’ve helped me to be comfortable with not so good parts as well.
You’ve helped me remove psychological barriers that were existing for so many years without my knowledge.
I look forward to the time I spend with you.
I’ve always valued your opinion as a friend, but as a coach I’ve lot of respect.

Initially I approached Akarma to help me overcome my insecurities and beliefs which were holding me back from achieving my best and reaching my full potential.
I originally expected a barrage of different suggested techniques, strategies and motivational buzzwords to keep me going, but that was not the case. Akarma focused on finding out the roots of my surface-level problems, and in doing so, helped me to bring a lot of my underlying subconscious beliefs and thoughts up to the surface – thoughts and beliefs that have affected me for a long time without me being consciously aware of it. It was only after that he had established what the root of my problems were, that he then suggested the appropriate strategy. Through this process so far, I have been able to slowly find my way back to clarity in my life.
For many years I have been attempting to overcome my challenges by reading a whole bunch of different self-help books and attending seminars. These are helpful, but I find myself continuously getting bombarded with lots of different strategies and techniques to deal with too many issues at once. Having someone who you can speak with, who is as straightforward, and is as understanding and patient as Akarma, really assists with focusing on the specific kind of help that you need in your current situation and reality.
It has been less than a month, and I am already thankful that I have met Akarma. Thank you.

I went into the session feeling thoughts of hesitation and concern as I did not know Akarma at all. Akarma welcomed me to the call and made me feel at ease immediately.
Akarma's coaching skills were outstanding; he was able to get to the core of my issue super fast which allowed for the rest of the session to be about the changes I wanted to see in myself. I left the call inspired for immediate action and generally excited about my life.
Thanks so much Akarma!!

Akarma was introduced to me by my close friend and I had over-the-phone session. I had never been open to anyone about my problem I was dealing until I spoke to Akarma.
Akarma was simply great, he asked me the right questions to understand the root of the problem. Once Akarma identified the REAL problem, he encouraged me to come up with the lasting solutions to finally find the real peace. This not only motivated me to let go of the past, but also rekindled the passion and confidence that I was lacking.
Today, I am more relaxed, passionate, confident and focused towards my goals and it is new ME in new journey of my life. I would like to thank Akarma, he is not only professional, but also very easy to deal with. His coaching style is not only unique but also very effective. I know exactly whom to contact whenever I am stuck.
Akarma, once again thank you very much for everything and wish you a very best of luck.

I came to know about this program and met Akarma, he was simply great as I was thinking whether I will get any help or not but talks with him had proved wonders to me, he is the keen observer expresses his thoughts very effectively. Talking with Akarma has been fantastic! I was not sure of what to expect, but once the session started Akarma responded promptly with amazing explanations which helped guide me through the process. He quickly sketched up a few icon ideas and we proceed to refine the concept until we came up with the final icon. The results were great. If I need further help in the future, Akarma will be the first person I contact.
Working with Akarma has helped me to recognize my own strengths, to value myself and to help me discover who I am and what I want for my life. Coaching with Akarma has been a wonderful experience for me. Years of therapy did not “kick-start” me down my path like a handful of sessions with Akarma did. I was drowning in a sea of self-doubt, indecisiveness and fear. Akarma threw me a life line and is helping me to clarify and focus on my goals, giving me invaluable encouragement along the way and not accepting any excuses for why “I can’t”. I look forward every week to our sessions and always hang up the phone with renewed commitment to myself and to living my life authentically. I am so grateful Akarma! He encouraged me so that I felt sure of my abilities and authenticated my own sense of self worth. I had a reliable ally in my fight against negative thoughts, fears and feelings of doubt. He helped me to recognize my fears and gave me the tools and guidance to overcome them. Once I was able to identify and articulate my fears, it was easier to overcome them and keep them from stopping me on my journey to a more meaningful and full life. He kept me focused on what I wanted to change in my life and the steps necessary to achieve that change.
I am on my way to a happier and healthier future thanks to the work that I did with Akarma. Akarma helped me identify all the negative self talk that I would hear when confronted with daily conflicts. Thank you Akarma. Working with Akarma was easy and very helpful. In a short amount of time with Akarma's assistance, I was able to sharpen my tools to increase my productivity as well as my level of happiness and peace. Our time together will benefit me for the rest of my life.
Thank you for helping me put the past in the past and for teaching me how to live in the present.
Manisha Kumar
Today I realised that I’m restraining myself from trying new things which I always wanted to do in my life but because of my beliefs I was not able to fulfil it. I had some fears back in my mind because of which I was not doing it but from today try to do new things in my life to achieve my goal of my life.
From today’s event I am able to understand the difference between values, my beliefs and how are my values and my beliefs help/not help in achieving success in my life. Now I have got to know how to differentiate between my values and my beliefs and what is required to achieve my goals.
Sudeep Kumar
I wanted – to get answers to my BIG ‘WHY’; to see how I can get my mojo back – without applying any logic; to let my momentum alive; to give me time to sit back & think “what” I want out of my current situations; to exactly know what I want; to exactly know how should I think to know myself better. You mentioned it in start – to give our mind a kind of shake.
I realised – I need to work from the core/roots (values – beliefs); Yes I can do that, I will figure out later how I will do that; I need to keep the momentum alive. No comfort zone, try without logic!
Ajay Singhal
I needed – ways to deal with my problems. I know my problems but want to be guided about the ways to overcome them; to find out my fears which are pulling me back; ways to minimise those fears. I’m being introvert want to bring a shift in my personality changing it to extrovert. Is it really possible to change the personality you are born with? If yes then I need to figure out the ways.
I’m now – motivated to look into the factors without actually wasting any more of my time. The event has again brought a focus on the problems I’m facing and had somewhat forced me / inspired me to look into the solutions.
Kiran Pandey
I came with open mind. However was in need of some technique to use to overcome personal situation.
I gained - some very good basic principles to use in life. Learning about a number of things e.g. ok to make mistakes.
Vinish Khanna
All the topics you covered were somewhere there behind my mind although I never realised them and also getting free from procrastination.
I realised what I actually need to know and what was holding me back.
Sweety R.
I was not sure exactly what I would achieve but I wanted to know where I was and how I get there. I wanted to know what I’m missing out by not doing certain things.
I needed – a path in which I can achieve my goals. How I can think out of the box and have a peaceful life and achieve internal satisfaction. A successful future for myself.
Ahmed Merchant
I needed – to really understand what I want to achieve and how to reach there. Many times we simply waste opportunities just because we don’t realise we have the potential. This session helped to shed some light on what I am and what I can.
I learned - how to target a goal; set it and grab it with the potential we all have.
Subhash Kollarath
I wanted – to hear some motivational ideas to recharge/enhance my life; get some space to hear & reflect.
I learned – the HOW will work out at the right moment – this is my takeaway; belief is only a possibility filter; understanding the conflict between beliefs and values and being conscious about it.
Binu Jacob
I wanted – self-reflection of own values and beliefs. Your beliefs are based on values.
I learned – setting an action plan – with positive thoughts and not much logic behind taking the initial steps.
Savita Agrawal
I wanted to learn about - achieving success and happinessI learned – people make mistake which is a learning curve. How important to have goals, beliefs, values in life.
