"Puneet is a coach who will walk alongside you as you forge your own journey. Always respectful & uplifting, his intuitive approach creates safety and trust from the very first discussion, while also stretching you and challenging you to go further.
I thoroughly enjoyed exploring new approaches & philosophies with Puneet as they added to my thinking and reflections in ways that I hadn't considered. Coming through the white, Western, male dominated paradigm of leadership in my senior leadership journey to date, the power of remaking that story as a female leader in a way that is truly authentic to me has been a powerfully transformative experience that I will be carrying onward into my future as a new CEO."

"I had been in a VP role for two years, leading a cross-functional team of 150 through a major re-organization. With projects halted, resources lost, and mentors departed, I felt isolated while needing to realign my team under a new strategy. Working with Puneet was a breakthrough. He helped me identify my core leadership values, align my actions with them, and lead change with clarity and purpose. Through our sessions, I built trust with my leadership and team, creating alignment on our new direction.
A key turning point was the mindfulness practice Puneet introduced. It transformed how I interact—with greater calmness, curiosity, and intention—helping me build trust even with skeptical colleagues. His deep understanding of people, change management, and leadership made every session impactful, equipping me with strategies for everything from 1:1s to CEO presentations. His coaching is truly unique, and I highly recommend him."

“There was pretty immediate affinity. Puneet has an incredible gift of seeing people. Puneet has X-Ray vision. If you are interested in the type of coaching that is strategic, because Puneet is very strategic, very intelligent but he offers a whole another dimension to his coaching, something I appreciated wholeheartedly. There are many people who can coach you into achieving your goals, but what Puneet does for his clients - he not only coaches you on the goal line of your development but also on the soul line of your development. He is going to create illuminations and realizations because he sees so deeply. If you are looking for holistic development and getting to higher levels of freedom, I could not recommend anybody better”

"Working with Puneet has been a transformative experience. His unique approach, which combines mindfulness practices like breath work and body scanning with practical leadership tools, has helped me grow both professionally and personally. I’ve learned the power of active listening, empathy, and intentional leadership, which have not only improved my relationships with my team but also fostered a more collaborative and inclusive workplace culture.
Puneet’s ability to create a safe, reflective space allowed me to gain clarity and confidence in my abilities, while his genuine commitment to my growth challenged me to step out of my comfort zone. I highly recommend Puneet to anyone looking to deepen their self-awareness, enhance their leadership skills, and drive meaningful change in their organization or personal life."

“I felt an almost immediate shift when I started working with Puneet. He just “got me” and I felt understood - on a human level. He took the time to understand my vision, could instinctively see when & where I needed support, and helped me shape my way forward. Through working together I was able to tap into his experience, expertise, and instinct, and what I have been able to achieve during this time is mind-blowing. Thank you Puneet, you’re amazing!”

“When first introduced to Puneet, I wasn’t really sure what to expect - his background was impressive, with a wide array of professional experiences as a leader and influencer - perhaps he would be intimidating? Not at all - within minutes of meeting Puneet, I was completely at ease and found it surprising that it was so easy to be comfortable with someone so unique - who could talk about coding, AI, leadership, finance, human resources, and spirituality (sort of left and right brain ambidextrous).
Our first few conversations were nothing short of transformational for me, and it was easy to see that working with Puneet for the longer term was something that at this point in my career was not a “nice to have" - it was a necessity. We quickly got to the heart of what I wanted to work on and Puneet immediately recommended some practical approaches to working through the challenges I was experiencing at the time.
I would recommend Puneet to any senior leader who has the courage to take a hard look at themselves on the outside and the inside, is willing to be honest with themselves, and do the work to move through whatever may be keeping them from truly functioning at their highest, most unencumbered level.”

"Puneet Sachdev is an awesome Executive Coach. His unique style and approach has helped me (a seasoned executive) in a profound way. I certainly find his style very different from many mentors & coaches I have worked with. It’s a good thing. I was initially resistant because I needed to shift my expectations and thinking which I wasn’t ready at the time however he didn’t give me a hard time at all. His gentle approach calms me at a deeper level and I think that’s how I was able to evolve so quickly.
His words are so profound too. He got what I am saying right away and his response addressed the issue directly again in a gentle way. He helped me improve my self-esteem and confidence more so than anyone has. In less than 3 months, I feel that I am equipped to tackle deep-seated issues which were barriers to me achieving more in my professional aspirations. I highly recommend Puneet!”

"Working with Puneet over the past six months has been a transformative journey. Initially unsure, I quickly realized it was exactly what I needed, especially during such uncertain times. Puneet helped me establish powerful practices and build specific plans to achieve my career and personal aspirations. He challenged me to align my goals with what truly makes me happy, leading to a deeper sense of self-awareness and fulfillment.
Puneet’s guidance has been invaluable in helping me unlock my full potential. His support has empowered me to take bold steps towards my goals with confidence. I I feel like I have been able to kick-start a side of me that is more aware, more conscious, and more driven. It has been a pleasure working with Puneet.
I could not recommend anyone better than Puneet if you are ready to operate at a much higher level of success and fulfillment or want to transition to a deeper calling that has been reverberating internally"
