What Sameer Dua's clients say
"I must say Sameer, you have a great way of motivating people and kept the group on our toes all through the three days. Most participants, including me hung on to every word you were saying. You are inspirational and I enjoyed every moment of the Program. I look forward to working with you and my team for the next 11 months. I do believe this Program will help me clear the cobwebs in my head and help me regain my confidence. Sheeja added a wonderful dimension to the Program."
"Having worked in the field of education for nearly 30 years and had the opportunity to work with a vast and diverse collection of leaders from the arenas of education and business/industry, I am very excited about the Leadership Coaching program Sameer Dua has developed for current and future leaders. His focus on the need for authenticity and his recognition of the importance of language and context elevate this training program above the others with which I am familiar. Congratulations to Sameer Dua – this program is a winner!"
"The Being of a Leader program nicely combines input with practice and it does something that other programs do not do: it ensures continuity and learning throughout a period of time which allows participants to make self-reflection an inherent part of their individual growth. This concept paired with Sameer’s experience in Leadership Development and the wonderful person I got to know him as, will have a strong impact and will give a new perspective to leaders in making sustainable differences."
"I wanted to say ‘Thank You’ to you for delivering a impactful session and today I went through the complete slide deck you had shared for the team. This was a good reiteration and I will keep on referring it at regular intervals till this is in my blood. Thanks again."
"Sameer’s passion of teaching this subject and the way he motivates people in such training sessions, is just amazing. The way the last session on the third daywas conducted, including a group dance and activity at the end, was really mind-blowing and everybody was completely charged-up. I have never experienced that in my life!"
"We as a management team are currently going through a major change where we need to revise our current strategy in order to maintain our success in the future. Therefore we have done an incredible workshop with Sameer, which opened up the eyes and mindset of everyone of us in a really different and very powerful way. I am absolutely convinced that this workshop will support all organisations and individuals going through important changes to achieve the desired targets."
"During the course of my work of over 22+ years at various large organizations like Wipro, Microsoft & IBM, I have been a part of many training programs on leadership. However, “The Being of a Leader” program of Sameer Dua Training, intrinsically a Leadership Coaching program, is very different from the other Leadership programs. This program works on “self transformation” that when applied to your professional or personal life dictates miraculous results. I can state that the participants of this program can be guaranteed of a change that instills self belief, which is so critical to one’s performance resulting in exceptional success at work or in personal life."
"Sameer Dua has made a profound and a lasting difference in the way I live my life. His coaching continues to provoke me to question my own perceptions; my existing decision making patterns and redefine the way I respond to my circumstances. The expanded results that I have created through this coaching program have greatly elevated the quality of my life"
"It was a great pleasure to meet you and I also feel proud that I could attend this session. The presentations as well as training materials were well defined and your coaching was too good. I shall definitely recommend more people to attend this in future."
"Really happy to be a part of the C.E.O (Coaching for Excellence in Organisations) programme – Batch of October 2017. It is incidentally the first of an 11- month Leadership programme–. The programme got off to a flying start with what has been (for me) one of the most immersive 3-day affairs. The whole ambiance was electrifying (yeah there was dance too) along with some serious food for thought provided by the IGL team – Sameer, Sheeja, Geeta and a couple of others. The take away was the set of declarations made by each one of the participants in their area of care on day 3 which will be tracked and mapped against the milestone(s) reached as the programme rolls on…Sameer went to the extent of saying that he and his team is unequivocally invested in each one’s declaration and can be held to account! Now that is some Leadership initiative…"
