Dear Mr.Sharma,

We the entire team of Voltas Mozambique would like to thank you for coming all the way from India and delivering a highly useful and wonderful program on behavioural aspects which would enable our team to perform par excellence in professional and personal life.

I am happy to state that the feedback received from staffs who attended the program was entirely positive and they were enthused by the simple and understandable contents & methods. The modules were well organized and tailored to meet the requirement of our team's specific need. Your delivery was exceptionally well and every single person attended the program enjoyed a lot. The session was quite interactive and the participation level of the team were high. I hope this would benefit in team engagement and thus the personal productivity. I spoke some of our team members who attended the day one program, suggested the training would help them to approach their internal and external customer differently.

We appreciate and thank you for the efforts taken by you a few days ago, in making an effort to bring out the Leadership Skills within us. Am sure that these inputs, bundled with the Leadership & Coaching sessions we had will go a long way in helping to bring out the best in each one of us. A collective effort with the involvement of few other chosen colleagues would no doubt benefit the organization in a very positive way. To say the least, these two days were one of the most intense, exciting and fun days of our lives. Am sure that with these inputs and self-belief we will be able to perform much better in our professional and personal lives. Asante Satwant & Karibu Tena.

Best Regards from the entire team in Shelys, Dar-Es-Salaam-Tanzania.

Coaching by Mr SK Sharma was excellent and had helped in creating the role clarity among the participants.

Mr Sharma did intense homework, by shadowing the participants, which helped in devising the right tools and dashboard. The session was well organized and executed. Overall the experience was positive. The group's enthusiasm and delight was remarkable. Unlike any regular training Mr Sharma also offers a follow up with the participants which ensure continuous engagement and mentoring.

Coaching (online) by Mr. SK Sharma has encouraged me to set higher goals and achieve them, with his management tools not only helped me set my priorities and goals in my personal and professional life, but also helped me identify various options that gave me clarity for greater future prospects. His skills and experience in man management training modules and his experience in Sales and Administrative areas would be of a great value to any organization.

Vikram Phulara

Sr Manager International, Nector Lifesciences

I was going through a phase of conflicts both professionally and personally in early 2010. I was lost amidst a cluster of ideas and plans occurring and failing every day. I was fortunate enough to find SK Sharma, who, with his management tools not only helped me set my priorities and goals in my personal and professional life, but also helped me identify various options that gave me clarity on my better future prospects. I was pleased to attend the "Design Your Destiny" program at Dar-Es-Salaam, which changed my paradigms in life and encouraged me to set higher goals and achieve them.

Simmeo Kashiringi

Country Manager – Uganda, Beta Healthcare Uganda Ltd.

Coaching by Mr. SK Sharma has contributed tremendously to my career. I was just a Salesman when I came in contact with him in 2005. Just in a short span of time, I could become the Country Manager for Uganda. The two days training program on 'Field Sales Management' at Hotel Bluepost, Thika Falls, Nairobi was the turning point in my career, where I learnt the Managerial Skills & Leadership style. The follow up coaching provided by SK has been empowering & motivating, all through. His coaching style, guidance & encouragement is highly appreciated. SK is my mentor.

Dear Mr Sharma, I had a chance to chat with some of our colleagues last week and they mentioned what a meaningful & memorable time they had while attending the team building session (Making Music Together) organized by Sterling Stride last month. Hence, I write this mail to thank Sterling Stride for a remarkable job done in successfully customizing an event for BD India, Diabetes Care team that kindled team-spirit & morale with adequate flavor of excitement, creative problem solving & challenge. The uniqueness was in the approach of your associates who actively listened, discussed & engaged our team to come up with optimal solutions within the framework of the ‘right values’ that too while meeting our time constraint!

Thanks to you & Sterling Stride for an excellent event organized!

I am indebted to SK Sharma for his Training session at Hotel Blue-post, Thika in 2006. That was a turning point in my career and it changed my attitude towards life. In the short span of last five years last I have risen from Salesman’s position to National level manager and now running my own business with very positive outlook to life in future. SK has always been there constantly in touch over the years.

Lavina Kishnani

With Mr Sharma’s guidance in formulating a Business Strategy, I managed to establish a successful operation, with skilled staff, and learnt to deal with the finer intricacies of working with the Indian Market. During this time, I realised that Mr Sharma is not only a valuable asset in corporate strategy but is also proving to be an impressive coach on personal level. He helped me with my overall career goal planning & taking charge of my career in a way I had never done before. He also coached me on a personal level to resolve some conflicts I had at the time. His conflict resolution method proved to be the best I’ve ever come across. I am and will always be immensely grateful to Mr SK Sharma for this.
