In today's episode, I invited Feroza Engineer. Feroza as a performance coach, she is driven by her lifelong mission of helping people create change that is scientific, realistic in achievement and that eventually helps them self - develop in the long run. You will usually hear Feroza say, “Everybody and anybody can coach themselves, they just need discovery and some tough-love”. A common thread that you will also observe from her coaching testimonials is that she’s personally invested in the coachee; making change easy and practical to achieve, systematically designing the coaching journey with specified outcomes and is relentless in her pursuit to help coachees be a better version of themselves.

Feroza is known in the industry as a learning leader who capitalizes on her 16 years of experience that has spanned across 130+ organizations, agnostic of industry, not only across India but US, China, Singapore, UAE, UK, Hong Kong, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.

Her core areas of expertise lie in CXO Coaching and Development, Building Organizational Learning Architecture, Measuring Impact through Learning Analytics & Neuroscience based Self - Development. Whether in her personal or professional life, trust & relatability are important qualities that she has managed to build successfully. For Feroza, authenticity is key. Hailing from a family of engineers, becoming a 'fixer' comes very naturally to her! And it is this spirit of unapologetically owning who she is that allows her to build meaningful relationships.

She is an ICF certified coach. Currently on the finishing lines of PCC. She has coached 46 unique individuals in the last 5 years from CXOs to First time managers, Professors, Start-up founders, Tech wizards, Women Entrepreneurs, IAS officers to Pro-athletes and LGBTQI professionals. She has also designed and deployed coaching frameworks, coaching roadmaps and coaching curriculum during her stints with Dale Carnegie Training, Target and Jombay. This relevant and unique combination of having been on both sides of the table, business-facing and consulting makes her a coach who is rooted in business wisdom and realities of everyday life.

Her expertise areas in performance coaching are Personal Growth, Leadership Development, Team Leadership, Growth Mindset, Self Confidence, Emotional Intelligence, Learning Agility, Career Transitions, Emotional Fitness, Lifestyle Habit Formation, Public Speaking & Large group communications.

She curates personalised coaching experiences and her coaching “walks” are quite a hit! It could be a walk or a simple workout, a hobby session or a simple luncheon where the coaches feels at home and is able to relate to the coaching process from their worldview.

In the virtual world, these experiences get slightly tailored, yet it keeps the coachee at the centre of the entire journey. These curated 6 to 12 sessions of 1.5 hours each is what she prescribes for deep-rooted behavioural change as through every session, there is a clear outcome followed by “homework” in the practical sense for the coachee to discover.

An honours graduate in Psychology from St Xavier’s, Mumbai and University rank holder, Masters in Counselling Psychology Mumbai, Feroza has immersed her life’s work in behavioural sciences, neuroscience and performance coaching. She has also worked and served in a coaching capacity at Performanse, Franklin Covey for Trust Immersions, Bergerac Leadership Communications.
