"Kul is a brilliant coach and mentor. He has helped me to develop my leadership skills and to become a more effective leader. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking to improve their leadership."

Samuel T. Reddy CEO of TriExForces Group

“Kul is very different to the average leadership and development trainer/coach as he takes his content and delivery much deeper in terms of challenging delegates to consider their emotional intelligence and the impact this has. He genuinely cares about what we want as his customer and I can honestly say his coaching and training has an impact not only on the individuals who take part but also on us as an organisation. He brings energy and passion into everything he does and that is what makes the difference to us.”

Tracey Laing Assistant Director of People, University of Lincoln

Our cohort have learned and grown in ways I don’t even think that they thought possible and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed working, collaborating and delivering with him.”
