I’m so glad I was able to connect with you, and I benefited from your guidance and support, especially when I needed the most. All your tips were extremely helpful; especially you changed my own mindset and confidence, and the pre-work guidance was extremely helpful. All of this helped me with my leadership goals of growing within the organization.

Sandeep was an excellent facilitator. She took the discussion where it needed to go, used language that made sense to our work, she brought in readings and evidence where it made sense but it remained practical and suited to the objectives of the day. She really worked from where we were at as a team and created a great environment for discussion.

Sandeep really understood our challenges and the organization. Sandeep was prepared and did not hold back from asking some tough questions. That is needed to be productive and got us to a great place in developing our team norms.

I have completed the DSIC assessment approximately 4 times with different organizations and at different points in my career. Sandeep’s presentation, representation of the findings and ability to relate the information into understandable and applicable examples was incredible. She found a way to make everyone understand the complexities of their work style and ensured that they felt not only accountable for their style but that they needed to be accountable in flexing to others. The DISC program doesn’t change, but the facilitator is where the real value in the results is. Without her style and time with us, the results would be on our shelves collecting dust. We are now living these documents and recognizing how we affect others. She is, in a word, incredible.

I wanted to say THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. Working with you has been an amazing and growing experience that stretched my thinking and abilities. You are very knowledgeable and shared great strategies for me to move forward and look at the big picture. Your patience, presence and listening skills are out of this world. You are very kind and professional in the way you approach coaching sessions and I feel privileged to have had the opportunity to work closely with you for 6 months. I hope our paths cross again sometime soon, and I appreciate everything you have done with and for me. THANK YOU!!!

Our research team successfully obtained funding to hold a needs assessment workshop to characterize the educational needs of elementary school teachers across the GTA in terms of their knowledge base about pediatric acquired brain injury.

Sandeep was an incredible resource and quickly became a key team member. Her knowledge of health, research, and school systems was incredibly strong, and she provided a broader industry perspective and context that helped make the workshop successful. She carefully planned activities that motivated and interested attendees while meeting workshop goals. Her ability to summarise findings, concerns, and comments from a large, diverse group (>50 people) was outstanding! She was met with rave reviews at the end of the day. She also framed the findings into a concise report with clear recommendations and action items that propelled and framed the project’s second phase.

I emphatically recommended Sandeep to anyone in these sectors, and I am excited to work with her again in the future!

I met Sandeep at a workshop on motivating and executing effective change in the cancer treatment system in Canada. I found her keynote compelling, evidence-based and inspirational.

After meeting Sandeep at a keynote she delivered, I engaged Sandeep as a consultant to help my team in a strategic plan to advance our combined research, educational, clinical and policy-related goals. She rapidly analyzed our situation, and understood and appreciated our context and team dynamics. Sandeep used her excellent and dynamic skill set to evoke many solutions and commitments from my team. In other words, she helped us unlock our potential. Lastly, her recommendations to me as the team leader are practical, realistic, and implementable. Eternally grateful for the advice.

Sandeep’s keynote was a great success! The audience enjoyed the content and appreciated the opportunity to engage in the conversation through her use of technology. From the moment we engaged Sandeep, we felt she went above and beyond in understanding our needs. She held discovery meetings with senior leaders and did an excellent job at customizing her keynote using language and challenges that were specific to our audience. We especially appreciated her responsiveness and genuine curiosity to understand our organization. Her efforts in creating a customized keynote and a relatable speaking style lent her talk credibility and relevance needed for our diverse audience to appreciate the keynote. Working with Sandeep was a pleasure from beginning to end, and she provided great value to our professional development day.

Working with Sandeep is always an amazing self-discovery journey! I love the way she guides me to approach challenges and overcome my fears in ways that help me get more grounded and propel me into the future with renewed energy. Time and again, she helped to confront the limiting beliefs holding me back and identify new perspectives to address the issues. And every time I come out of our sessions, I feel more confident and reassured that I have everything in me to succeed. Her extensive experience and knowledge keep bringing out the best in me. I’m sure that there are numerous leaders and professionals who could benefit from having this kind of honest conversations with her.
