"Shailaja Khan worked as an Associate Coach with The Bedrock Program on our After-school Career Discovery program targeted toward high school teenagers. Her goal was to deliver the career coaching workshop to interested students at an international K-12 institution in Dubai, UAE. Having worked with Shailaja in the past presenting youth-focused EQ workshops I knew that she had a disciplined, hands-on approach with solid coaching expertise and could deliver the 12-week program without issue. Shailaja exceeded expectations in every way.
As a result of her diligence, Shailaja developed the support and results we needed. She took the time to prepare the delivery for each session and facilitated it in her inimitable style within the allocated time. She built a good rapport with the group to achieve wholehearted participation from the students, went to great lengths to be inclusive of viewpoints, persisted in involving those with special needs, and praised contributions across the group. Her enthusiasm and ability to create a safe and comfortable space helped to increase the group’s interest and bring out their best. After a few sessions, numbers went up. She guided the students meticulously through their classroom activities and homework and followed up on irregular submissions which encouraged them to take the program seriously.
The group enjoyed the sessions and gained real clarity about their future career prospects. The program was a success and as a result, the school has signed up for another round of the after-school program for the next term.
Shailaja is a trusted and dependable resource, and I would easily recommend her as an asset for any interim coaching projects."

"Shailaja is an AMAZING coach. I went through a few sessions with her and she was always able to give me space and time to ponder over my issue and speak my mind. She is also able to accurately capture my thoughts and emotions to help me gain clarity at certain points of the conversation. Through our sessions, I realized that we share similar personalities and work experiences, this has been useful as she could use the right metaphors and language to help me reflect better.
Although we came from very different backgrounds and cultures, she was able to make me feel at ease and I trust her fully with my issues every single time. I particularly loved her coaching style as she came across as genuine, compassionated, non-judgemental, and encouraging during the session. The most valuable thing that I got out of the entire experience is that I had made another friend for life."

"Shailaja helped me realise what was exactly that I wanted and how to navigate through that difficult situation in my career. And to be honest the best part was that I came up with that all on my own. Needless to say, Shailaja is a very experienced coach. She is amazing at what she does. If you need help with any kind of counselling, she comes with my high recommendation."
