I admire Prof. Raju Vir because I notice he pays attention to details, his understanding of people’s needs is outstanding, and he makes everyone who works with him feeling heard and important. I believe he infuses all team members with positive energy and keeps everyone focused on what they need to accomplish. As a professional team coach and individual coach, Prof. Raju Vir deserves my highest recommendation.
