About
Working with me is a collaborative partnership built on taking action. I will help you grow to become an authentic leader, unlock a greater understanding of yourself and others, build high-performance teams, transform culture, improve communication and overcome any fear of public speaking. And that’s just scratching the surface.
I first became interested in human potential when I was a teenager. Truth is – I spent most of my childhood struggling with social anxiety disorder. I spent years seeking help and learning to thrive despite this challenge, and this is what sparked my life’s passion in helping others reach their full potential.
I was born in West Bengal, but by the time I could crawl I was living in Australia. These days I live in Melbourne with my wife and business partner, Lina. We have two wonderful children, Oliver and Austin.
Experience
I typically work with company executives, HR business partners and organisational leaders who want to get more productivity and higher levels of performance from their people.
As a professional speaker, elite performance coach and facilitator my experience exceeds three decades and thousands of workshops, seminars and special events, addressing more than 30,000 people in talks and seminars worldwide, from everyday employees to middle management as well as C-Level audiences.
