As Marshall Goldsmith stated - "What got you here - won't get you there!"

Yes, as a mid level manager, you work hard, adhere to directives, work with your team, you deliver results and are good at self-advocacy.

So do others!

There are several other mid level managers, who also work hard, deliver results, and along with you, are competing for the same senior level positions. They are also high performers, and they too ask for promotions.

Surely, what got you here – won’t get you there!

What makes you different? Why should you be chosen over others?

Discover your Mantra – the differentiator, the authentic you that is the game changer. Achieve your ambition, your goals.

Leverage your uniqueness to stand out and get counted. Go beyond just the numbers games and the quantifiables.

Success often goes beyond the quantifiable.

In fact, presence, engagement, creativity, communication skills, conflict resolution abilities, authentic visibility, networking, charisma are amongst the major differentiators, most other things being equal. After all, being the first amongst equals is a reflection of your uniqueness, authenticity and the way you stand out in the minds of those around you!

I strongly recommend Colonel Ajay for the executive team’s leadership journey.

Dear Coach Ajay, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me out when I was going through a rough patch in my life. Your patience and perseverance helped me to move ahead. You motivated me to believe in myself. I continue to find benefits from your coaching. Thank you for teaching me to be ME in life. I would recommend all my friends and family Coach Ajay Ramakrishnan for being the best. He is focused, appreciative , motivator and a great listener. His in-depth knowledge of human psychology is amazing. Thanks again. Regards

I had the opportunity to engage with Ajay and benefit from his executive coaching. I was part of the delivery team of an MNC Bank as a Vice President for the India Delivery Center. The focussed engagement helped me strengthen my leadership skills around Strategic thinking, Influencing, partnership & collaboration. Instant decision making in moments of crisis, role model leadership. I was able to draw upon Ajay’s rich leadership experience to further enhance my leadership skills to manage teams as large as 1400 employees. This was one of the enablers in my overall skill development and also contributed to career progression.
