“A good coach can change a game. A great coach can change a life.” – John Wooden. Yukthi, you are a “Great Coach”. Your coaching style is amazing.
I knew how to play the game. But you taught me “how to win the game”. In every minute of our coaching session, you inspired me. You always supported me and encouraged me to get results. I believe the time that I invested over 12 weeks is one of the most valuable investments that I have made in my life, because I have been able to transform my life.
I began coaching sessions with you as a newly-appointed manager. Your coaching put my career on a new, positive, and upward trajectory. Your coaching sessions have really helped me to introspect, identify my strengths and weaknesses, and to convert my job responsibilities into work processes. In addition, you coached me on how to build and lead my team. In financial terms, I can say that my return on investment in this coaching programme is beyond measure.
One thing I realized from your course is that I can find solutions to my problems within and by myself. This is an approach that I plan to apply at work when interacting with my subordinates. Now, when a subordinate comes to me with a problem, I can be a coach rather than a solution
giver. This approach will help me to develop my team as well as to improve my leadership skills This is possible because you have also transformed me into a coach.
Thanks, Yukthi! Great Investment! Great Coach!

“What an encouragement, Sir. I am strictly following the Immersion Technique. I know my level, and how much I have to improve. It was a wise decision taken by my bank, as we are here to serve her for nearly 15 more years. Also, the coach selected to take us on this journey is fantastic. Really, we enjoy whilst learning. Thank you, Sir”
When I was first introduced to Mr. Yukthi Gunasekera, I was just promoted as a manager and was not sure about the value of an executive coach. Although my time with Yukthi was reduced to a few weeks, he gave me a different point of view of leadership. With his relentless help and laser sharp guidance, I could recognize where I could improve myself as an effective leader.
Yukthi was instrumental in honing my corporate communication skills. He used many of his unique strategies and learning tactics to help me identify skills I did not know I had – and help me tap into talents to motivate and
lead others. I now feel like a leader with the right skills who will move the company forward and in the right direction.
I strongly recommend Yukthi as an Executive Coach. He is a careful listener, incredibly effective in helping you identify your skills, and has an innate ability to help you stay focused on what is most important – to yourself – and the Company as a whole.

“When I was selected for an interview at a Big Four firm in the Cayman Islands, I got in touch with Yukthi Gunasekera for his professional training on job interviews. The in-depth training, mock interviews, and feedback really helped me understand how interviews work and the mind of an interviewer. As a result, I used everything I learnt from his training at my interview and was prepared for any scenario.
Today, I’m at that Big Four firm working my dream job.”

“I wish to express my sincere appreciation for the unmatched service that you have rendered as an executive coach.”
Yukthi was introduced to me by my former boss with glowing recommendations as he had done an Executive Coaching Program at her company. I then started attending some of his training programs with my colleagues and found him to be really good at what he does. He goes above and beyond taking time to share all his knowledge with the participants. Due to his generous nature in training, I got him to be my coach and he has been my coach and mentor since then.
As a person who has not had much experience having a coach before, I realized the difference in having a coach such as Yukthi. He is extremely professional, courteous, and at the same time gives me feedback directly. With his coaching sessions, I can confidently say that my motivation, self-confidence, and realization of who I am have gone up significantly. He is also one of the most positive and superb humble human beings I have ever come across and I am glad and honored to have him as my mentor and my coach.
