“Having worked with industry leaders like Wipro, CommScope (formerly Avaya) and Dimension Data, I have traveled extensively to develop new markets, acquire customers, operate joint-ventures, while servicing key accounts and leading large teams and projects”, says Charles. “I have enjoyed every bit of these experiences. Travelling regionally and internationally has expanded my knowledge and skill sets.”

“I understand the nuances that businesses require to create a niche for themselves in their respective markets. By providing training, coaching and consulting to individuals and companies, I assist them in achieving their personal, career and business objectives.”

Charles has a BA (Economics) and Diploma in Computer Applications, he is a Certified Practitioner of Neuro Linguistic Programming, N.L.P (National Federation of Neuro Linguistic Psychology, U.S.A.).

So – why Life Coaching?

“I love working with people” says Charles, “and this is a good opportunity to be with people who want to make a difference in their personal and professional lives.”

And why did he choose Symbiosis Coaching for his Life Coach training needs?

“I did some research on coaching institutions and had an opportunity to talk to a few, but Symbiosis was my choice. The details provided on the website and Sunil’s crisp and clear explanation of the course details were very encouraging”, says Charles. “The fees was very affordable compared to many other courses. The course was conducted very professionally, and Bina was an absolute super hit in the way she conducted the sessions. Of course flexibility was a key to the program being very effective to me. Course content is well designed, especially the student login section is awesome, I will be using it all through my coaching career. Just Super Cool…!!!”
