Exploring contexts, co-creating solutions and facilitating personal transformation has been core to my 20 plus years work experience and it’s what gets me bouncing out of bed in the morning!

About Sandeep

When growing up, I lived life at the intersect of different cultures, generations, gender role expectations and social classes. As the youngest sibling of three, I had a perfect vantage point to notice differences in the way we thought, felt and behaved in any given situation. In navigating these differences, I observed how the way we think can influence the outcomes (successful or not).  

This unquenchable curiosity continued into my professional career where I began as a mental health and behavioural change therapist in the NHS and then went onto working globally for a leading professional services firm.  Exploring contexts, co-creating solutions and facilitating behavioural transformation has been core to the 20 plus years work experience and it’s what gets me bouncing out of bed in the morning!

Even now, living at the intersect between cultures gives me the fertile environment to pay deep attention to the cultural codes we operate within and the masks we wear that help us to ‘get along’.  As a Coach, it’s within these cultural codes in the workplace and our personal lives that I work with my clients to manage the delicate balance between fear, power and desire to inform the way we want to show up in the world.
