Definition

• "A Coach is your partner in achieving your
  personal goals, your champion during turnaround,
  your trainer in communication and life skills,
  your sounding board when making choices, your
  motivator when strong actions are called for,
  your unconditional support when you take a hit,
  your mentor in personal development, your
  co-designer when developing an extraordinary
  project, your beacon during stormy times, your
  wake-up call if you don't hear your own, and most
  importantly your partner in living the life you
  know you're ready for, personally and
  professionally."

Testimonials
26

• I have enjoyed working with Akruras Gita
  Coaching and will continue to do so. He has
  helped me to become more organized, focused and
  efficient. His coaching technique is professional
  and powerful.
• Vaisesika dasa (ACBSP), ISKCON North America
  Book Distribution Minister

27

• Gita Coaching helped me chart out a plan and gave
  me some good tools to work with to get things
  moving. Akrura jump-started things and helped me
  keep the momentum going. He helped me paint a
  clearer picture of where I could go and kept me
  focused on how to get there - keeping me focused
  on my goals, not my obstacles. I recommend his
  services to anyone who feels they are not as
  productive as they should be or to those who are
  having difficulty realizing their goals. And if
  you don't know what your goals are, Gita Coaching
  will help you clarify them and then get you
  moving towards them.
• Mahatma dasa (ACBSP), Japa Retreat Facilitator,
  USA

28

• I do not know where I would be without my Gita
  Leadership Coach Akrura. He is always there
  guiding and helping me to make serious decisions
  about my spiritual life. I really feel he has my
  interests at heart and see me for my potential.
  This is greatly encouraging and empowering. I am
  blissed and blessed to have him as my coach!
• Jai Nitai dasa, President, ISKCON London

29

• Gita Coaching helped me prioritize my values and
  tasks in my area of responsibility in accounting
  and administration (this helped me to tackle my
  tasks in a way that increased my productivity
  while easing pressure of service), and improve my
  family relationships by seeing my family
  situation from a third-person point of view,
  which helped me be more empathic. I used to serve
  long hours and was therefore tired most of the
  time, which affected my service. Gita Coaching
  also helped me discipline myself to leave service
  earlier and exercise regularly. I started to
  actually do this and now I think, feel and work
  better.
• Ram Charan dasa, Financial Controller, ISKCON
  London

• I feel that I am more dynamic and proactive
  through the coaching experience, and more ready
  to respond to needs and challenges as they
  arise.                                         
  Bhuta Bhavana dasa, M.A., speaker, facilitator,
  and spiritual consultant

31

• I find the sessions very inspiring and always
  feel revitalized and reinvigorated upon leaving.
  Akruras coaching style is firm, drilling into
  your head those things that need to be
  learned/heard and yet there is a sensitive side
  which listens and sympathizes with your problems
  and then offers practical solutions and advice to
  resolving them. Since beginning my coaching with
  Gita Coaching, I have been making serious
  progress in my life and would not have been able
  to achieve my current set of goals without his
  help and support. I can honestly say that it has
  made a dramatic improvement to my life! I believe
  this so strongly that I have already highly
  recommended his services to close friends of
  mine, who have begun to reap the benefits of this
  excellent coaching system.
