Saleha is a remarkable leader and an outstanding executive coach.

When I took over NSDL, Saleha and her colleagues designed and led leadership workshops for our middle management team at NSDL, effectively preparing them for the challenges ahead. Our team found the workshops transformative, noting their relevance, thoughtful design, and flawless execution.

Saleha also worked with me as DGM & Head of SBI ePay. Under her leadership, the product stabilized, operational issues resolved, and there was very good business growth. She turned around the story of SBIePay to one of remarkable success.

She helped me master the art of prioritization, including how to say ‘no’ in a way that empowers others while maintaining strong relationships.

As a senior executive in a global organization, I struggled with time management, often overstretched by attending countless meetings and neglecting key priorities. Working with Saleha was a game-changer.

She helped me master the art of prioritization, including how to say ‘no’ in a way that empowers others while maintaining strong relationships. and, driving exceptional business results.

Saleha provided a safe space for me to share challenges I hadn’t voiced before. Her ability to simplify complex challenges and guide with kindness improved both my personal relationships and overall happiness.

Dr. Saleha’s insights have profoundly shifted my perspective, not only in the immediate challenge but she also to handle future situations with greater confidence.

I found myself struggling to navigate a difficult workplace situation. A colleague’s actions were creating a toxic environment, impacting both my peace of mind and my productivity. Feeling overwhelmed but determined to address the issue, I sought guidance from Dr. Saleha.
Her approach was incredibly compassionate and professional. Her ability to pinpoint the root cause of the problem was remarkable, and the strategies she suggested were both practical and effective.
Dr. Saleha’s insights have profoundly shifted my perspective, not only in the immediate challenge but also to handle future situations with greater confidence. I am deeply grateful for the positive change she facilitated in my life..

my feelings changed, my life changed, my work changed. I actually became happy.

Good teachers introduce new thoughts, but great teachers introduce new ways of thinking. Thank you, Saleha Ma’am for having made me look at my thought process to help me navigate the challenges of a lifetime.
Before being coached by her, I was outwardly successful. Deep inside I felt I was a failure. I smiled when I met people but I knew I was only pretending to be happy. After coaching with her my feelings changed, my life changed, my work changed. I actually became happy. With me, my family became happier. At work, I started  feeling confident and sure of myself when talking to the top bosses.

After joining Saleha’s programme, I have concrete financial goals and my financial planning has become sound and regular and I am confidently working towards these goals.

I have become aware of the change that I need to bring in my career and am working towards that.

I was ready to give up but Saleha Ma’am  helped me realize my potential as a leader.

I had been posted as Branch Manager and I was feeling not up to the mark for handling the higher responsibility. I felt that my team was not cooperating with me in achieving the goals.
I have no words to express how the guidance and precious coaching from Saleha Ma’am made me stable and strong with a conviction to never step back in life. Surprisingly the atmosphere of the bank changed!  I took the leadership challenge, and my team started cooperating more. In fact, I won the best Branch Manager award and many other awards for achievement of targets in the region. I had not believed that I could achieve this. I was ready to give up but Saleha Ma’am  helped me realize my potential as a leader.

I am now handling important projects and my image has transformed.

Coaching with Saleha has been transformative.  In both personal and professional life, I moved from hesitation in decision making to confidence.

My procrastination vanished, I am now handling important projects and my image has transformed. The boss acknowledges that now the output is 3X of what it was. Saleha has a unique style of making you aware of your own behaviour  through experiencing it in the session. That just turned around my negotiation skills -with my team, my seniors and most importantly with clients.

I now lead with clarity, with decisiveness, and with trust, thanks to her coaching.

I had looked forward to getting a promotion in one year, I got it in a couple of months!!!

I was working towards a promotion, but it was uncertain. Then, I was coached by Saleha. She helped me make an action plan.  By working on that plan, I could remove roadblocks. I spoke to my seniors, and I started putting my ideas in larger meetings.I had looked forward to getting a promotion in one year, I got it in a couple of months!!! I realized that it was important to talk to my seniors about my expectations. Thanks to Saleha, I was able to work in a structured manner towards a specific goal and achieve it.

I could create the image of a capable, assertive leader.

Working with Saleha has been an incredible journey of growth in every sense. 

Earlier I was hesitant in saying ‘no’ to requests. I could not communicate change with assertiveness to my team.  

After coaching with Saleha, not only am I assertive with my team, I sell and  negotiate better with my bosses and with clients.  With that, I could create the image of a capable, assertive leader. Now, I have been made in charge of a high-visibility international project.   

I have also balanced my personal and professional life—spending more quality time with my son, committing to regular exercise, and improving my health.

Believe me she looks like ‘Durga Matha’ for me.

I can proudly say, if I write my life history, I can divide my life in to two parts– before and after

the training. Saleha Ahmad’s training sessions   profoundly impacted me. Earlier, my polio-affected right hand led to feelings of inferiority, making me withdrawn. One day, Madam asked me ‘Do you enjoy others appreciating you?’. I said ‘No’. Then she made me realize, ‘Accept them and enjoy’. 

This looks simple. But it made a big difference in my internal world.

Saleha’s sessions relied on small experiences fostering profound personal transformations. Saleha’s guidance altered my belief system, resulting in positive changes in my outer world, which were noticed by others.

Believe me she looks like ‘Durga Matha’ for me.

The coaching dialogues we have had together have been revealing, healing, and transformatory.

In the spirit of the Upanishadic and Socratic dialogues, these conversations between us have helped me bring to the surface deep-rooted attitudes and assumptions, and more importantly, examine them objectively in the light of my professional and personal growth and maturation.  And that is largely because of your expertise, experience, your capacity to listen well and the ability to frame the conversations in a meaningful way.

Dr. Ahmad, You have been an invaluable resource to me. I found you to be a talented and gifted facilitator, a trusted advisor and a wonderful coach. You have made a lasting contribution to my professional career!

Working with her has helped me highlight transferable skills and reassess my position within the current workspace. She is an excellent coach that equips YOU with everything you need to set and achieve your career goals. I owe my present progressive growth journey to Dr. Ahmad for she’s truly wonderful and I cannot thank her enough.

My biggest win was the regained confidence which had been spiralling down.

My unit was facing major problems in achieving the targets. There was a fear of social media backlash which could have impacted the company reputation. The pressure was such that I felt I would break under it! 

Then I started coaching with Saleha and suddenly, I was able to see the problem from a different perspective. Due to the steps I then took, almost all of the concerns have been resolved. In just 2 quarters, business soared by 60%, beating market conditions!!

My biggest win was the regained confidence which had been spiralling down. Now, with a fresh perspective, I feel transformation in both personal and professional areas of my life.

Thank you for helping me work on my goals and aspirations and also supporting me to cope with all the challenges and dilemmas of the Corporate World.

The Corporate World is one which is very tough and takes its toll. 

The challenges, tough targets, mad competition, all create many complexities in life and have often put me in a place where I am on cross-roads and have to make a good decision. 

Thanks for being my coach and guide and helping me to make better decisions. 

Thank you for helping me work on my goals and aspirations and also supporting me to cope with all the challenges and dilemmas of the Corporate World.

Thanks for reminding me to have faith in the almighty and for taking all the things in life gracefully.

Every time that I go to Saleha, she has always helped me get clarity and  find my answers

After getting coached by Saleha, I became regular with my work. Before that, I was really struggling with making a routine and procrastination. Every time that I go to Saleha, she has always helped me get clarity and  find my answers – whatever my pain point. I love the way she doesn’t waste any time and has so many tools and techniques that help me find my own solution and my path ahead. She is really phenomenal

Got a direction towards the path of happiness

I have been associated with Saleha ma’am for almost a decade now. She’s my mentor. Of late, I have taken one to one coaching session from ma’am which helped me in working on myself to improve in a few, very important aspects of my personality.

Everything that matters to me- my health, my relationships and my performance have improved significantly.

I was struggling with overthinking and anxiety issues. I seemed to be surrounded by problems and each problem seemed huge. Then I took coaching from Saleha and so much changed.

Now, I handle stress much better. I am less anxious, so much so that I have been able to reduce my anxiety and sleep medication. Everything that matters to me- my health, my relationships and my performance have improved significantly. At work, I communicate more effectively, achieve targets more efficiently and make better and firmer decisions.

I now have a very fulfilling relationship with my child.

Never thought that a simple activity of writing your goals can be so effective.

One of the goals that I wrote was spending quality time with my kids. I had a guilt that staying away from my family, I am missing connect with my child.

Working on this goal- I now have a very fulfilling relationship with my child.

Thank you for helping me achieve wellbeing in so many areas of my life.

I and my wife were spenders, never thinking of our financial freedom. After joining Saleha Ma’am’s programmes I have started financial planning with goals for myself, and my children.

I am in a highly stressful job but now I am able to go to gym 4 times in a week,

Now, I know what I am worth, have become aware of that and will soon have a job which pays me accordingly. Thank you for helping me achieve wellbeing in so many areas of my life.

She continues to pursue her passion for equipping people to live more fulfilling lives. If there’s anyone who can teach this, it’s Saleha!

Saleha and I had the opportunity to collaborate on several publications. We co-authored a case study on strategy that was published in Ivey Publishing. We explored a new concept, “Frugal Creativity,” which was published in the highly rated International Journal of Innovation Science. 

I greatly value my association with Saleha for her ability to think differently, analyse deeply, and execute diligently.

She continues to pursue her passion for equipping people to live more fulfilling lives. If there’s anyone who can teach this, it’s Saleha!
