When we started coaching with Behnaaz back in May 2018 we were a team of 14 people, with monthly revenues of approximately 3 lakhs a month. We are now over 600 people, approx. 6cr revenue a month and present in multiple global markets like the UK, US and Canada. We could not even imagine this when we started. If you have a big goal, a lot of work and growth ahead of you, and need to prioritise and streamline what to do, you will find Behnaaz’s coaching contributing to your ambitions immensely. As a founder and CEO it is not always easy to decide where to focus collective energy. And so in our coaching sessions I set small achievable goals month on month and keep working towards achieving those goals one at a time. I use this space to identify and reflect on what are the priorities and review failures to understand what can be done differently next time. Both I and my team members have benefited from regular coaching with Behnaaz.. As my coach she has seen me and my team members grow and evolve over 5 years - this long term perspective is very valuable.

Behnaaz is an excellent business coach - the reason I had approached her was to develop an ability to focus on what needs to be done now, given the multiple tasks that an organization in growth phase has. Over the duration of my association with her I have worked on developing a laser sharp approach on what to do now and what to do next in business and drown out all the noise. My ability to plan and execute projects as an individual and in a team has shot up exponentially. She has a wide range of tools at her disposal for coaching and you can count on her to pull out what's right for the situation time after time. She can effectively guide for any kind of situation you are dealing with at work as a business owner.

Behnaaz played a pivotal role in guiding me through crucial aspects of managing and expanding my law practice. Through our sessions I developed a clear vision for the future of my legal practice, understood my strengths and streamlined my practice areas. She helped me navigate the intricacies of delegation, ensuring that responsibilities were distributed effectively among team members while maintaining accountability and efficiency. Her emphasis on setting up and managing processes tailored to my law practice was instrumental in enhancing my operational efficiency and paved the way from an individualistic way of handling work to a more team and management oriented approach to my practice. Our insightful conversations impacted so many areas of work - business development, strategies for growth, effective delegation, and the establishment of streamlined processes to manage different functionalities within the firm, to name a few. Her expertise has proven invaluable in my journey.

Behnaaz played a pivotal role in my transition from an employee to an entrepreneur, and there has been no looking back since then. As my accountability partner, she provided objective guidance and helped me craft a solid vision for my business, which has become my guiding North Star. Her support has been invaluable in my journey as a corporate lawyer running my own practice.

I highly recommend Behnaaz Engineer as a personal success coach. I have worked with her for more than a few occasions when I wanted to understand situations in my life that I was stuck on and could not get past *or* to get through moments of 'crisis' whilst feeling overwhelmed with the challenges life was throwing at me *or* working on progressing in my career. She has been my go-to when I wanted to tackle, unpack, address or move on from difficult situations of life. Behnaaz's talent lies in her ability to help gain clarity, build self-motivation and a clear sense of direction often through reflection and resetting to a positive orientation. She helps you change your life and be where you need and want to be. Thank you, Behnaaz, for everything.

I started off with Behnaaz at a key point of my career (4 years ago already!) and I'm very thankful to her for her gentle yet powerful support. Behnaaz has been an incredible ally in developing my leadership style and skills, and unlocking my potential. At first skeptical towards coaching approaches, I am today amazed at how effectively Behnaaz's methods have helped me broaden my perspectives and evolve professionally. She offered her support to a colleague of mine and her sessions proved to be as successful and impactful as I expected them to be. Ultimately, Behnaaz has been instrumental in the stability and the growth of the organization we both work for.

I cannot express enough gratitude for the transformative impact Behnaaz Engineer has had on my life. Before working with her, I was in a state of complete brain fog, struggling with procrastination, and feeling stagnant in both my professional and personal life. However, through her guidance and expertise, I experienced a profound shift towards progress, clarity, and action. In just three months of working with Benaaz, I went from feeling unable to line up any projects to surpassing my peak earnings. Her support enabled me to transition from being highly unproductive to accomplishing daily 10k jogs in my workouts. Moreover, she helped me navigate through a messy personal situation to achieve a sense of peace and stability. The invaluable insights and recommendations I gained from our sessions continue to guide me daily. They have empowered me to achieve more, create the life of my dreams, and find genuine happiness. Working with Behnaaz is like receiving a gift that keeps on giving, and I am forever grateful for her expertise and unwavering support. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking positive transformation and lasting change.

Working with you, dear Behnaaz over the past months has been transformative. Your guidance not only helped me regulate my emotional well-being but also honed my professional skills at TARA. Through your different approaches in dealing with everyday professional setbacks, I have achieved specific wins, such as being able to productively reflect, see another's perspective acknowledge my feelings …. there are many but these are my favourites. I really appreciate and  am also thankful to you for your ability to blend empathy with practical strategies, creating a supportive yet effective space for my growth as an individual. And I remember that together, we have celebrated my little and big wins and victories. In one line "Reflecting upon my journey with you fills me with Gratitude". Once again thanks so much for all your patience and togetherness.  

Hasina Khan

COO, TARA | Child Protection and Empowerment

I worked with Behnaaz in what has easily been one of the most difficult years of my professional journey. And the work with her contributed to us not only making it through the year but growing through the year- she ensured that as a leader I kept calm, weighed my options, asked for help, zoomed out of every tough situation and saw the bigger picture. The solutions we identified together have ranged from practical things like scheduling in time for field and for HR and Finance to shifting perspective on how I think of various partners. Whether it was the operations of a Material Recovery Facility or the exit of key employees working with Behnaaz ensured that I drew the most learning out of each experience and then left it behind respectfully. Highly recommend her as a coach to add reflection, insight and personal growth to your professional journey.

Behnaaz is a terrific coach! Coaching sessions with her were extremely useful in enhancing my overall clarity and focus. I became much more aware of my strengths and trusted techniques, and also came face to face with how I sometimes was, in my mind, attempting to be someone or something that wasn’t fully authentic to my own experiences and context. Her deep commitment and gentle, considerate manner both put me at ease and also built my own resolve in working upon myself. I found. The sessions helped me a lot in making decisions with greater clarity and having a truer sense of myself.

I feel short of words when I try to describe the value that Behnaaz was able to bring to my life. Her forward focused, inward looking, and gentle conversations with me helped me prioritise my short term goals along with my long terms goals. She helped me clear my disserving narratives, and mid-session confusion would so beautifully transition to end-session clarity - I was amazed, each time. I highly recommend Behnaaz to anybody wanting to explore their professional life and come at it with authenticity and self-care.

Working with Behnaaz has been a rewarding and enriching experience. I had stepped into a new lead position when we began working together– Proud to say I thoroughly enjoy my role now. I achieve and cross important milestones with her. She helps me bring clarity to chaos and breaks it down into digestible pieces. Our sessions focus on results and accountability, her approach is personal, definitely not a one solution fits all approach. Coaching with Behnaaz is empowering, may not always be easy - be prepared to bring commitment and curiosity to every session to truly maximise benefits for you and your company.

I worked with Behnaaz and found our engagement extremely fruitful. It eased my transition into the new spaces of being a co-founder and CEO of a climate action non-profit. Her coaching process is direct and outcome focused and this brought a lot of clarity despite the general messiness of the climate action space. I also found her reflection and goal setting exercises super useful. I highly recommend working with her, especially to objectively address cognitive biases related to your approach to work. It is a pleasure to have Behnaaz as part of my growth journey!

At my very first session with Behnaaz, she skillfully and swiftly helped me find my core strengths and helped me identify my driving forces. These were truly surreal, like a breath of fresh air. Looking forward to many more revelations about myself and who I truly am with her help.

I entered the workshop hoping to get some clarity on my work path ahead, and I did. But more interestingly, it felt like I was being introduced to myself again. Joining the dots between my goals when I originally started out, and the path that lay ahead made me realize there is a workable plan and I needn't scramble anymore.

Behnaaz is by far the best thing that happened to me in 2017! I say that because she helped me realise that my 2017 could be different than my 2016 and I'm the ONLY one who could make that happen. Her methods are extremely simple yet powerful. I love her approach where she focuses on making you self sufficient and completely independent. Her empathy and objectivity makes the whole engagement very pleasant and meaningful. If you are stuck, meet her over a coffee, because genuinely a lot can happen over a coffee. All the best Ben!

Working with Ben was insightful and effective. Through our coaching sessions, I saw myself over the last 20 years and became keenly aware of recurring patterns through this time. The 'aha' moments have helped me see my strengths and blind spots. This awareness has powered me tremendously.

Dhvani Shah

I wasn't sure what to expect when we started off. But as soon as Behnaaz implored me to fully commit myself to - my Self, the "how" revealed itself. Through the process she has been the link between me, as I was then and the me as I wished to be. Thank you Behnaaz, for initiating an internal dialogue and being that voice which so beautifully guided me and brought clarity to my chattering mind. Her agreeing to "coach" me, as I see it, is paying heed to the Inner voice.

Rashmi Mehta

Amazed at the observable shift in emotions ... At a particular point in my life I realised I need to unlearn and relearn some of my belief systems about money and financial security . As a practising psychological counsellor I have worked on this part of myself through in depth reading , meditation and my own therapy. When I read about Access Consciousness I wanted to pick this particular challenge up and see if it helped. Behnaaz has a very anchoring energy. Through the session I felt calm and safe. A few days after the session I specifically observed if certain conversations were triggering strong emotional responses in me like they used to and I am surprised at the objective neutrality with which I can approach these conversations now. This was the impact of a singular session with Behnaaz and I am very impressed by the observable difference I feel .

I have been coached by Behnaaz at crucial times through my professional journey but did not know what to expect out of Behnaaz and Access Consciousness. Let me begin by saying "This is Magic". Behnaaz creates a safe space where I feel understood and accepted. Every bar session feels like taking off layers of old stuff that no longer serve me. Running my bars with the clearing tools have helped me understand how my past experiences have shaped my beliefs about myself and the world. I'm so grateful for Behnaaz's guidance and support as I continue to discover more about myself and what I'm capable of with her and Access Consciousness. I feel lighter and more free with each step forward. Sneha Sandhu Chief business officer Inextis events

I fondly remember all our coaching conversations beginning with a hot cup of tea in our happy hands. Time with Behnaaz has created a profound impact on my path of thinking, being and doing. She has been a gentle stirrer of wisdom with an even gentler might. With her, over many years and over many circumstances, I have grown to learn how to be self-reliant, self-assured and have received many tools to manage conflict and self-regulate variant emotions. I thank Behnaaz for everything she has brought into my life and wish many, many, many more receive her kind, caring, soft-spoken and genuine coaching techniques.  She always chose to be humane and that is what makes her an exceptional coach and a life-long, trustworthy learner. Simply put, Behnaaz is that alchemist who will bring about long-lasting change in your life. You will notice your conditionings melt away, replaced with grace, grit and growth.
