“Coaching helps you stop the crazy mind chatter in your head that tells you all the time that you are not good enough” – Oprah Winfrey
Coaching and mentoring are essential for honing leadership and business skills. Successful Indian organizations such as the Aditya Birla group, Wipro, Godrej, and many others are using coaches on a regular basis to advance behavioral as well as business skills of their leaders.
Recognizing the need for learning as well as coaching and mentoring for leaders of enterprises, the LEAP Entrepreneurs’ Mentoring Board (LEAP-EMB) offers an exceptional platform for leaders of small, medium, as well as large enterprises to connect and learn from experts, and also one another.
