If human capacity development through coaching and mentoring is a passion for someone, Gaurav stands out. If impacting people by transferring the right skills and empowerment needs to happen, Gaurav creates a worth. If conducting high-intensity developmental sessions for senior leadership keeping all facilitation skills in place is an easy play for someone, Gaurav proves himself there.My association with him happened during the ICF certification journey and Gaurav, you impressed me simply because you breathe coaching and mentoring. Wish you grow more internally and externally and shape up the coaching ecosystem in India. Cherish association with you!

I recently attended a program to become an ICF certified Coach and Gaurav Arora was our facilitator for the Coaching Program. Gaurav is a very accomplished Coach and a self-aware human being in particular. He brings his authentic self to the program, helps connect the theory with real life, enables a seamless blend in the story of coaching. His ability to captivate attention is outstanding and does a tremendous job for the Erickson Coaching International Program which spreads the word of building his ambition of making India the coaching capital of the world. He doesn't shy away from BHAGs and that's a golden quality. In specific, the drive Gaurav has to make coaching connect with human self-awareness is most infectious part of the program. I wish you Gaurav and Erickson Coaching International India all the success for their future endeavors.

My association with Gaurav began when he interviewed me for his podcast. We met for 20 minutes in person the previous day just to get to know each other and had a spontaneous single take podcast the following afternoon. I was very impressed with the depth and authenticity of his questions, his ability to push boundaries in a conversation so you can become the best version of yourself. It is later that I paid attention to his immense accomplishments as an executive coach. He is equally adventurous in pushing the envelope in embracing technology and experimenting with newer methods to add value to individuals as he is in the art of conversation that ignites, inspires and illuminates. A pleasure to know this accomplished professional

A couple of weeks ago, I attended a prestigious program on Coaching (The Art and Science of Coaching) by Erickson International, and having Gaurav Arora as a Master has been an experience I hadn't thought about when I registered for the course.He takes Coaching as a subject to a different level and doesn’t limit it to a Skill but allows exploring oneself and others linking it to the” journey of a Coach, which is the journey of a human being” & 'People are OK'. His unique ability to allow oneself to look within and revisit the different perspectives has been a gift to me. Authentic, and empathetic in his approach provided a safe space to have an open discussion even though the session had only 16 virtual classes. He sticks to a structured approach while teaching different frameworks for coaching but beauty and authority lie in the way he brings them to life with real scenarios making them tangible and relatable. His passion for coaching is infectious and truly gets reflected in his conduct as a Master and Human, enabling others to check the hidden potential all have.

I am undergoing Gaurav’s Coaching program. I highly recommend it. Absolutely phenomenal. His statement - “You are; how you coach” has stayed with me. Truly provokes you to continually work on being a better version of yourself. His program empowers you to both undertake this journey while also equipping you with skills to becoming a coach.

“Who you are is how you coach”. This was Gaurav’s introduction sentence to coaching, as I embarked on this beautiful journey. Three months down the line, as I reflect back on how Gaurav has influenced my approach as a coach, I couldn’t agree more. During the sessions that he took for us and my subsequent interactions with him, Gaurav has personified the various coach competences - never ever letting the other person get overwhelmed with his vast experience. No wonder he’s among the torch-bearers when it comes to shaping wonderful coaches in India.My best wishes to you Gaurav in establishing India as the coaching capital, and I look forward to contributing to this beautiful mission in whatever small way I can.

Highly recommend Gaurav, an exceptional coach whose expertise and dedication have made a significant impact on my Coaching Journey. Gaurav has a remarkable ability to build Strong connections and create a supportive environment that fosters growth and learning...,His coaching programs are thoughtfully designed on Global levels and his extensive knowledge as a well-qualified MCC coach truly sets him apart. Each session with Gaurav is not just a coaching experience; it is a journey of self-discovery that equips you with the tools and insights necessary for success.One of the standout qualities of Gaurav is his principle of 'Shukrana' (the Power of Gratitude), which he incorporates into his coaching philosophy. This approach not only enhances the coaching experience but also inspires a positive mindset and resilience among his clients...

Spending four hours of quality time on four evenings every week (Wednesday to Sunday) for four continuous weeks was difficult, yet a journey par excellence. There was never a dull moment. There were self-realizations galore. And, needless to say, every moment spent was worth its investment in terms of time and efforts. And Gaurav is the one, who made it possible, not only for me, but also for all other Co-travellers.Gaurav has that uncanny way of putting complex ideas in very simple terms. That made the 'journey of a Coach, which is the journey of a human being' so interesting.Not only the program well titled 'The Art & Science of Coaching' is very well designed, Gaurav, as the facilitator, played a great role in providing energy and impetus to all the attendees.I strongly recommend aspiring Coaches to be a part of this cohort and begin their inspirational journey.Well done Gaurav.Thank you.

I attended the training covering Module 1 and 2 of the TASC program during Feb-Mar 2024. The program was nothing like I ever imagined. Relying heavily on group discussions and deep introspections, the format unlocks deep layers of one’s personality and thinking patterns.The tools and techniques involved in conducting a coaching session were of course covered and were very practical. The pace of the program is slow-burn: a lot of emphasis is placed on absorbing a concept through deliberation and practice - and I think it was necessary. I really benefitted from this program - as most of us noted at the end of Module 2 - it was a life changing experience. As Gaurav taught us on day 1 - who we are is how we coach and unless we learn who we are and become self aware, we cannot truly progress on this journey.A word about Gaurav - I think to do justice to the sort of program format I described above, you need a facilitator who can create a safe space and Gaurav aced it. We all shared openly because Gaurav taught us to be non-judgemental by being just that. He made failing normal so that we could just practice without any fear of coming out awkward or forgetting our ‘lines’.I made great friends as well 😊. Would surely recommend this program to anyone considering learning about how to become a coach.
