Senior Director, SAP Germany

I met Faisal at a stage when I was moving back to India after 20 years of being abroad. My sessions and brainstorming with him helped me to transition back into India smoothly. Faisal quietly challenges your assumptions and guides you into the right activities and paths.


He is very sincere in moving you to a path of success and his management insights coming out of strong experience helped to shape my career transition. He does not hesitate to share his knowledge and frameworks that will help you.


I hope I will get to work with you again in the future.

Hi Faisal,
Hope you are fine and doing well!!


I was lucky to have you as my coach, mentor & guide during a midlife transition phase in my life. I realise how much of an impact you have made on me to improve as a person. You helped me to build my confidence, motivation, focus and have given direction to my future.

Now I feel I am in a much better position to handle my issues than I was some months earlier.


I would like to thank you and wish you success in your life.

Ram Krishna


Director Enterprise Sales – ASUS

Thanks Faisal for being coach at the most difficult phase of my career.


You listened patiently and assessed my situation well. Your suggestions were very apt & meaningful which helped me move ahead sooner from the crisis than I had anticipated. Your attitude to help people is commendable. You were very practical and kept pushing me to go beyond. Your knowhow, futuristic thinking helped me a lot.


Based on these factors, he involved me in designing a plan of action and asked me to record my actions and progress, to assess and improve the effectiveness of the program.


Even after 16+ years of experience, I got to learn a lot in each session with him. He recommends bite-sized actions, which are easy to take and get you in the execution-mode.


He makes you full of positivity and has very pragmatic ideas. Whenever I digressed from the priority, he would remind and bring me back to focus on the priority


He shared an innovative method to expedite the favourable hiring decision, where multiple rounds of interviews had already happened and they were still taking the time.


He is genuinely interested in your improvement and highly empathetic, even if you miss a promised action, instead of scolding, he motivates you to execute.


I’m immensely thankful to him for the impact he’s made in my life.


Regards,
Ram

Sr Manager, Rolls Royce, Bangalore Rolls-Royce

Hi Faisal Sir,


I would like to take a minute and say thank you for all your guidance throughout my coaching. I am really fortunate to have a mentor like you during this period. Your guidance and expertise helped me in securing a great career opportunity.
Every session that we interacted, was an enriching learning experience for me. The way you have mentored me - elevator pitch & exit statement, staying positive, art of negotiation, financial planning and choosing the best options were really commendable and I will never forget those mantras in my career.
I am really thankful for extending your inputs on quickly assimilating in to new organization and mentoring me for next career growth (short and long term goals, networking and creating visibility). Few competencies that I really admire you sir & I wanted to inculcate in me! You are really approachable, great listener & mentor, interpersonal savvy and you are really kind to help others.


I am sure there are many people out there would really get benefited with your experience in this field and I strongly recommend the service for others when in need.


Thanks for everything

Shahnaz Sultana


Country Head – Wells Fargo, Bangladesh CEO - FINSAlliance Bangladesh

I had the opportunity to have Faisal as my coach recently


My sessions and brainstorming with him really helped me to transform my passion and vision into an effective and disciplined plan. I am now really enjoying my work every day keeping track of my actions connected to my broader plan as CEO, FINSAlliance.


Faisal is a good listener, a rare and a valuable quality that empowers others when they can share their side of the story. He is very resourceful with providing references, tips and other materials which can help smoothen the rough edges. I truly appreciate his honesty and the way he shares it in an optimistic way motivates one to move ahead.


I have read much about the importance of coaching but never really had one in my professional space. I have to admit that it can really make a difference and I strongly feel most of us in the corporate world do need coaching from time to time to remain focused, balanced and continue to make meaningful contributions towards our own community.

Faisal Urf Guru ji


I was trying to get some time to read some best of the best testimonials to give you my feedback. My heart was just saying Just be yourself to write your feelings about it. Finally I m penning down my emotions for your support...


First a simple thanks would not be sufficient, hence I quoted you as one of my Guru. Who leads others with a light of life for someone who lost Hope’s.


Every session I had with you changed my attitude towards positivity and I m trying new things in my life, which I was never even dreamt of taking such steps.


I am now able to take more pain, responsibilities, face more challenges, mould my attitude, take initiative a towards entrepreneurship, property management, fitness management, could climb Himalayas.


I have not reached my goals yet but I m not given up. Trying much better compared to earlier in news to solve all such things which were pending since 2 decades. Without you it couldn't have been triggered such a spark in my soul.


Thanks again for your wonderful wishes and as well as pushes

Alina Borda


HSBC, United Kingdom

I have been in my role for enough years to feel confident in what I am doing, but having the support from Faisal Paul was a unique part of the big puzzle.


He was able to make me discover my gaps and struggles and also find the solutions I needed to up my game. He managed to make me so conscious of what I learnt and I am so grateful every time I am coaching and I see myself doing what we covered together.


I cannot believe that after 3 observations he managed to make me realise so many missed opportunities and ways to help my team members improve, and help myself get better at what I am doing.


Besides making me realise so many things, he followed up on actions we agreed. He was human, he managed to build a relationship, to build the trust that I needed to take it all on board. He managed to motivate me in times no one else managed.


Thank you Thank you Thank you, Faisal !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
