Bio
Prateek Kapadia
Leadership is a team sport, and Himanshu a beacon to leaders looking to enhance their sportsmanship. Himanshu made me realize my full potential as a leader, to understand and adopt my aura, poise and purpose. His coaching combines advice on simple transformational affirmations with practical day-to-day behaviours. Some of his priceless gems, like "the audience is more important than you", "practice less is more", and "scale builds skill" have been etched into my persona. Himanshu was extremely patient in supporting me through the change process with very practical advice on practicing new behaviours, and insightful feedback on my progress. I wish Himanshu and the COSM team many more accolades in their journey enhancing their client leaders' sportsmanship.

Himanshu was my first Professional Coach and the interactions with him have left an indelible impact on Life. The approach to discover myself and be able to put that into my personal well being as well as a professional, was very well curated by him during the coaching months. His involvement in the Envisioning exercise we undertook was quite stimulating, introspective and later on we were able to craft a pretty compelling vision. Himanshu displays a great calm and brings about an assured sense around him, making the environment around very conducive for free flowing discussions. An aspect I greatly admire and wish to emulate. Triggering strategic thoughts and deep insightful thinking has been a segment he delves very beautifully. I would strongly recommend him for Organizations and Leaders wishing to build a strong Strategic Framework and Executive Coaching as a 'go-to-man'. Best wishes Himanshu.

Himanshu has served as my career coach and guide through my journey of being elevated as Partner at Deloitte. I found Himanshu's coaching to be relevant and practicable through the use of models and implementable directions. Himanshu also takes personal interest in the development of his trainees which benefited me. It has been an excellent experience working with Himanshu and I look forward to continuing working with him.
