Tbusiness coaches
possess a unique
combination of real-world
company expertise and
coaching skills, including
active listening and the
ability to ask probing
questions. They act as
catalysts for developing and
implementing action plans
and assist with key
performance indicators
(KPIs) to create
accountability and real-
world results. These
experienced specialists
provide guidance and
feedback to startups,
entrepreneurs, and
corporate leaders based on
their actual company needs.
Business coaching is a
personalised procedure in
which a trained coach
assists a businessperson in
achieving their business
objectives. Whether it's
developing leadership
abilities, devising a business
strategy, or improving their
mentality, the coach tailors
the approach to meet the
individual's needs. Skilled
business coaches assist
customers in identifying the
gap between where they are
and where they want to be
and help them construct a
robust and strategic
business plan that supports
company growth.
This personalised
approach that business
coaches provide is
particularly important
because many leaders need
help inding support
through traditional sources
such as books, websites, or
executive workshops.
Business coaches like
Radhika Srinath, Founder
and CEO of IRA Coaching,
can bridge this gap by
bringing extensive
knowledge of speci ic
sectors and specialisations
and irst-hand experience as
an entrepreneur or business
leader.
Coaches like Radhika can
provide personalised advice
and concrete plans that lead
to exponential personal
growth by combining these
critical components with

administration, and talent
grooming, Radhika Srinath

Coaches as Con idantes
A business coach plays a
vital role in holding
corporate executives and
business owners
accountable for their
actions. Accountability is
essential in driving progress
and achieving success, and
coaches can help clients and
teams act on big ideas and
address issues that may be
causing concern.
Additionally, coaches can
serve as trusted
con idantes, providing a
safe space to discuss
personal and professional
challenges and offering
guidance on how to
overcome them. By
fostering progress and
helping individuals and
organizations reach their
full potential, business
coaches can have a
signi icant impact on the

Knowledge for
Empowerment
n old lady of 80
Ayears was once
sitting in the front
porch where her son was
doing some repairs under
his jeep vehicle with the
jack on. Suddenly the jack
slipped and the whole
weight of the vehicle came
on the chest of the son
which could have killed him.
Seeing her son dying, the
old lady did something
unbelievable; she lifted the
jeep with her bare hands
and saved her son's life.

to hear this impossible feat
that the mother had
performed to save her son.
People wanted to interview
her but she refused meeting
anyone. One reporter got
through though and asked
her how she felt about the
incident that saved her son.
To his astonishment, the
mother replied, "I feel very
bad! Not because I saved my
son, but all these 80 years I
have been living an ordinary
life with all that strength
and potential buried within
me."
"Don't die with the music
still in you." - Wayne Dyer
Is it not a tragedy that
most of the people who live
on this earth never discover
their true purpose and
potential in life? They live a
life that is a copy of
someone else. Maybe their
parents have passed down it
to them; they learnt it from
their peers and the society.
Many of them go for the life
that is the current fashion.
It's not new to see students
who opt for a course
because their friend did the
same or it is the current hot
course that the market is
open with opportunities for.
The major culprit for this
tragedy of human life is our
education system that fails
to empower. Here are some
of the solutions that I
propose that can help our
education system to be
more empowering.
Self-awareness:
Whenever you are lying a
chopper, the ATC asks you
three questions viz. Who are
you? Where are you? And
where do you want to go? I
believe those are the three
questions that our students
should ask to themselves to
be self-aware. Self-
awareness means simply I
am aware of my real self. I
know my strengths and
weaknesses and I am aware
of my purpose and the
talents that I possess to help
me ful il my purpose in life.
Our education system
should not treat students as
copies of one another. If one
student is excellent at Math,
the teacher should not force
other students to be
excellent at Math too. The
teacher should understand
the unique and varied gifts
that students possess. Our
education system can be
more empowering when it
stops making students
copies of each other and
helps them to self-
introspect and be self
aware.
Holistic Approach:
Education system should
have a holistic approach.
Human beings are made of
four parts viz. body, heart,
mind and spirit. Our
education system caters
mostly to the mind and to
some extent the body. We
cannot empower our
students who never have
exercised their emotions,
their bodies or their spirits.
Education should teach
students about
relationships and managing
one's emotions. Education
should cater to inancial
learning and healthy living.
Education should help
student to be spiritually
connected to the Higher
Power. How to create and
manage wealth? How to live
longer and healthier? What
it means to be successful?
Relationship Management,
Self-actualization, how to
start your own business?
These and many more
subjects need to be the part
of our curriculum in schools
and colleges. Many of our
students who have excelled
in school education don't do
well in life. Many of our
students cannot handle
failures in life and take
extreme steps. Many of our
students never become
inancially independent.
Many of our students are
swayed by religious fanatics
for extremism. When our
education system just caters
to one or two areas it is
natural for others who can
feed our students with the
wrong kind of knowledge.
Encourage Curiosity:
Education that empowers is
the education that
encourages the spirit of
inquisitiveness among
students. When our
education system is
designed in such a way
where students are not
given ready-made answers
but asked to discover them
by asking the right kind of
questions, then we can
assure empowering
education. The exam system
is designed for rote learning
rather than conceptual
learning. This has to change.
How about awarding
students to come up with
the right questions and
helping them further to
discover the answers. If our
textbooks and exam system
is designed to do this, it
would greatly help students.
Lack of research bent of
mind is the result of loss of
inquisitive and curiosity in
our education system. If we
can give students problems
to solve, they would
surprise us with their
ingenuity. But by giving
them ready-made answers
we limit their potential. I
know of a student who
solved a mathematics sum
by his own method that was
considered to be very tough.
His teacher acknowledged
the correct answer but also
advised him not to use the
method while writing the
exam. What kind of
education system is this that
kills the creativity of
students at its very budding
stage?
My article is not
comprehensive to address
the issue of Empowering
Education. It is just
intended to spark a thought.
You may know many more
ways to bring about the
positive change in the
education system so that it
becomes empowering. I
invite you on that journey
that can spark a revolution
in the education system. If
you already implement the
above points in your
education institutions, I
applaud you. May we all
come together to build a
better education system
that will empower our
students, free them to be
themselves and help our
world to be a better place. T H E

skills and qualities. Effective

professionals gain valuable
insights, develop effective
strategies, and enhance
their ability to meet sales
targets.
Small Business Coaching
Small business coaching
caters to the unique
challenges faced by
entrepreneurs and owners
of small businesses.
Running a small business
requires expertise in
various areas, including
marketing, inancial
management, operations,
and growth strategies. Small

to develop comprehensive
business plans, identify
opportunities for growth,
overcome obstacles, and
improve overall business
performance. By providing
guidance and support, small
business coaches empower
entrepreneurs to make

It's important to note that
the success of business
coaching lies in the
collaborative relationship

client. Through open
communication, trust, and a
commitment to personal
and professional growth,
business coaching can truly
transform businesses and
individuals alike. As
businesses continue to

provides a unique
combination of tools, skills,
and industry knowledge to
assist leaders in
determining the best path
to take their business from
where it is now to where
they want it to be.
Rexy Ravindran,
Managing Director of Rex
Global Business Education
Services LLP, is a prime
example of a business coach
with an impressive
academic background. He
graduated with a degree in
science, specialising in
chemicals, from Mumbai
University. He went on to
earn an MBA in Marketing
from Symbiosis Institute of
Business Management,
Pune, in 1984. With over
three decades of experience
in the corporate world, Rexy
brings a wealth of
knowledge and expertise to
his coaching practice,
helping businesses achieve
their goals and thrive in
today's competitive market.
Building the Foundation
This was the pre-internet
era when an individual's
learning and personality
development was de ined
mainly by family, friends,
school, college and books
and other print media
which was available and
accessible. Electronic media
was rather limited. Digital
media was not born.
Essential skills like
communication, con idence
and practical knowledge
were acquired mainly
through a long process of
experience-based learning
as against a structured
learning process. Rexy was
very interested in this, and
it helped shape his outlook
towards career and society.
Rexy began his career
with Bharat Petroleum
Company Ltd., Mumbai, a
Fortune-500 irm, where he
spent over 20 years
marketing and distributing
petroleum products to
industrial and retail
consumers across India. He
served on the board of
directors of TOTAL
Petroleum JV irm in India,
the world's sixth largest oil
corporation, and developed
and commissioned their
Bitumen factory in Jodhpur
in record time.
The Multifaceted Career
Rexy founded his own
consulting irm, Rex Fuels
Management Pvt. Ltd., in
2005 with a group of like-
minded experienced
professionals, providing
advisory services to clients
for Crude Oil, Natural Gas,
Light Diesel Oil, and other
commodities; his irm has
successfully completed
many projects of Bitumen
modi ication plants, storage
and distribution facilities,
and consultation with over
1000 customers. In
addition, Rex Fuels arranges
high-pro ile industry
conferences and trade
shows.
Rexy, an entrepreneur
with a passion for
education, founded Rex
Global Business Services in
July 2019 to provide
complete overseas guidance
services for students, with
an exclusive tie-up with the
prestigious La Sierra
University in California
(USA) for MBA program in
Business Analytics (STEM).
This is a one-year STEM

which is eligible of three

himself in a variety of ields,
including petroleum

Idea Behind the
Innovation
Rexy Ravindran realised
early that more than a
graduation degree is
needed. More importantly,
communication and
con idence are perhaps the
most important factor in a
successful career.
During his interaction
with many youngsters who
had just graduated from
college, he realised the need
for more con idence,
practical knowledge, and
exposure to the changing
business environments. The
adaption of new
technologies in real-life
situations needs to be
improved.
Hence, he started a Global
Coach website for
candidates who needed
mentoring.
Expanding Reach
Rexy also wanted to give
Indian students an
opportunity to make a
career in the most sought-
after market, the USA. He
tied up with La Sierra
University, California, for an
MBA program in Business
Analytics (STEM). This is a
one-year accelerated MBA
program with a courseware
curated by top academics
and Silicon Valley
professionals. This provides
the best combination of the
classical MBA and also the
Business Analytics with the
STEM accreditation. This
program is in high demand
from the industry and is
re lected in the starting
median annual salary of
USD 86,000.
The one-year residential
MBA program in Business

Bringing a Dream to
Fruition
The corporate journey was
a great learning and deeply
enriching experience for
him. System, Structure and
Hierarchy were some of its
de ining traits. The
entrepreneurship journey
has been inherently more
exciting and riskier at the
same time for him. More
importantly, it allowed him

scratch, build and share a
dream, and bring it to
fruition.
All this requires a team of
equally driven colleagues
with a complementary skill
set. Rexy Ravindran feels
fortunate to have created a
team of domain experts
with diverse experience to
deliver consistently
superior value to the
customers.
Creating Value for
Stakeholders with Ethics

The uniqueness of Rexy
Ravindran is the ability to
coach and mentor students,
help them interact with
industry leaders, and offer
them career development
assistance after course
completion.
Enhancing Key
Employability Skills
According to Rexy
Ravindran, "Indian students
require appropriate
communication skills which
are country-speci ic and
become lexible to cultural
differences they would face
in the country of education."
This is one of the major
challenges Rexy Ravindran
and his team is facing right
now.
To overcome it, the team
has arranged special
coaching and training
before course
commencement to prepare
students to face the
challenges fully.
Daily market updates and
weekly business reports are
also created, which are
shared to keep students
updated on business
developments.
Horse of a Long Race
Rexy Ravindran believes
that the future demand
from the business world
would come from STEM
courses as the institute is in
constant touch with the
industry inding their
changing requirements.

valuable feedback and
discusses the same with the
University to develop
effective course content.
Some of the short courses
are also developed, which
are given free to students so
that they are prepared to
perform better academically

cultural environment the

28. However, selecting the
right business coach
necessitates meticulous
consideration and thorough
evaluation.
The signi icance of inding
the right business coach lies
in their ability to provide
tailored guidance that aligns
with the speci ic needs and
aspirations of the client. A
competent business coach
possesses the experience
and understanding to
identify potential obstacles,
capitalize on strengths, and
design a roadmap for
success. By carefully
assessing the unique
circumstances and goals of
the client, a suitable
business coach can craft an
individualized approach
that maximizes growth
potential and accelerates
progress.
Furthermore, an effective
business coach serves as a
reliable sounding board and
a source of unwavering
support. They offer an
outside perspective,
allowing entrepreneurs and
business owners to gain
valuable insights and
consider alternative
viewpoints. A skilled coach
fosters an environment of
trust, where clients can
openly discuss challenges
and uncertainties without
fear of judgment. This level
of support helps individuals
overcome obstacles, build
con idence, and maintain
the necessary motivation to
persevere through dif icult
times.
De ine Your Goals and
Needs
Before embarking on the
search for a business coach,
it is crucial to de ine your
goals and needs. Determine
what speci ic areas of your
business or personal
development you want to
focus on. Whether it's
leadership development,
sales improvement,
strategic planning, or
overall business growth,
having clarity about your
goals will help you ind a
coach with the right
expertise and experience.
Research and Credentials
When searching for a
business coach, conduct
thorough research to
identify potential
candidates. Look for
coaches who have
experience in your industry
or possess the skills you
require. Check their
credentials, certi ications,
and educational background
to ensure they have the
necessary quali ications and
knowledge. Additionally,
explore their track record
and client testimonials to
gauge their effectiveness
and success in previous
coaching engagements.
Compatibility and
Chemistry
The relationship between a
business coach and client is
built on trust, open
communication, and
rapport. It is essential to
assess the compatibility and
chemistry between you and
the potential coach.
Schedule initial
consultations or discovery
calls to get a sense of their
coaching style, approach,
and personality. A good
coach should be someone
you feel comfortable
working with and who
understands your unique
challenges and aspirations.
Coaching Methodology
and Approach
Every coach has a unique
coaching methodology and
approach. Some coaches
may focus on accountability
and action planning, while
others may emphasize
mindset and
transformational coaching.
It is crucial to understand
their coaching process and
determine if it aligns with
your preferences and
learning style. Ask about
their coaching techniques,
tools, and how they
measure progress and
success. A coach who
employs a methodology that
resonates with you will
enhance the coaching
experience and increase the
likelihood of achieving
desired outcomes.
Support and Availability
Consider the level of
support and availability the
business coach provides.
Determine the frequency
and duration of coaching
sessions, as well as the
availability for additional
support between sessions. A
coach who is responsive,
accessible, and committed
to your growth will be
better equipped to address
your needs and provide
ongoing guidance when
challenges arise.
Budget and Investment
Business coaching is an
investment in your personal
and professional
development, and it is
essential to consider the
inancial aspect. Determine
your budget and evaluate
the value you will receive
from the coaching
engagement. While cost
should not be the sole
determining factor, it is
crucial to ind a balance
between affordability and
the level of expertise and
support provided by the
coach.
Trust Your Instincts
Ultimately, trust your
instincts when choosing a
business coach. Consider
how comfortable and
con ident you feel with the
coach during the initial
interactions. Pay attention
to your gut feelings and
intuition. If something feels
off or if you have any
doubts, it may be a sign to
explore other options.
Finding the right business
coach is an art that requires
careful consideration and
evaluation. By de ining your
goals, conducting thorough
research, assessing
compatibility,
understanding coaching
methodologies, evaluating
support and availability,
considering budget, and
trusting your instincts, you
can make an informed
decision. Remember that a
business coach can be a
valuable asset in your
journey towards success,
and choosing the right
coach can have a signi icant
impact on your personal
and professional growth.
