Kartik Krishnan.

Quantitative Trader / Portfolio Manager / Derivatives Trader:

“I had worked with Manoj, at Nomura, and was really pleased to hear that he had started his own venture in the Professional Coaching space. He offered me a complimentary session and I was only too happy to accept! The two hours that I spent with Manoj were incredibly interesting – Manoj asked several questions to which I thought I knew the answers, but it turned out that I wasn’t really sure about them! The session left me with a different view of both my professional journey, so far, and what I wanted it to look like, going forwards. I was also inspired to push at some of my boundaries in terms of the scope and depth of my personal projects and in terms of what particular projects I genuinely felt were the best possible and most interesting use of my time. It was a really great session and Manoj’s approach was absolutely fantastic. I left the session with a changed perception of myself and with new-found motivation to take on some challenges that I had always wanted to, but always brushed aside in the past. Since the session, I continue to ponder on some of the questions that I now ask myself, and I wonder why I hadn’t asked them before! To anyone who does receive the opportunity to be mentored by Manoj – I would say that you should definitely take it – it could well change the way you look at a lot of things – in a really wonderful way!” – via LinkedIn

Rich Waterman.

Professional Coach, Mentor, Speaker:

“I have known Manoj since 2012 when he joined a group coaching programme I ran. What a pleasure to have known him all these years and see him create his own coaching practice. Manoj is a highly skilled coach and really understands the challenges of those in the banking and finance sector. He equally knows how people from these sectors can transform their lives. You will rarely meet anyone with the insight of Manoj and he also deeply cares about the people he works with. He is one of the most authentic and trustworthy people I know. I unreservedly would recommend him and his coaching.” – via LinkedIn

Deborah Harvey.

Business Coach, Hypnotherapist and Psychotherapist:

“Manoj is a highly professional coach and mentor who has helped me to realise my vision of becoming a Business Coach.  I’ve been working with some amazing people in the start-up world and he has championed me along the way, celebrated the great bits and kindly (yet firmly) challenged me when the voice of negativity has got the better of me and I think I’m not doing a good enough job.
He brings depth and structure to his coaching which I’ve really appreciated. He is a very thoughtful individual and asks great questions which have stopped me in my tracks and challenged my perspective, particularly of myself.
Manoj is an expert in wealth creation who coaches from the heart first and foremost and I’m really enjoying his Mastering Money, Financing and Investing Masterclass which I joined in October.”

“I found Manoj’s coaching useful and practical. The sessions allowed me to be very focused and professional at the office. Always looking to do the right thing and to strive well in a very competitive environment, to getting into agreements with my bosses and colleagues.

Kind Regards F.”

Graham Street.

Senior Market Data Engineer:

“I have known Manoj for over three years through our connection with the public speaking practise society at our company. He was kind enough to give me some of his time where we discussed my hopes, goals and ambitions. I found him to be a great listener and the perfect ‘sounding board’ from which to bounce ideas.
The art of the coach is reflected by their ability to listen to ask the right questions,
Manoj is an excellent coach.”

Kaye Kaur.

Social Media Expert:

“Manoj took the time and effort to familiarise himself with my business thoroughly. He was very proactive and insightful and he offered many strategies to help grow my business. From week to week he was thorough and coherent in his approach to getting me on the right track. He gave me tasks to work on over the week and pushed me to operate out of my comfort zone. It is much easier to face new challenges when you have the right support. Thanks for all your help Manoj!” – via LinkedIn

Elton Cilliers

Headshot & Commercial Photographer:

“Manoj, having seen some of my posts on LI about my struggles of being self-employed and finances being rather tight, kindly offered me two sessions with him absolutely free of charge. When someone donates their most valuable asset, time, then you know you’re dealing with someone who genuinely cares about other people and not just their own bank balance. It was great to have someone to speak to, as a sole trader it can be quite isolating. Manoj listened and asked many leading questions to get me to think about things and gain some clarity with my business. Thank you for your kindness Manoj, all the very best for the future.” – via LinkedIn

Sunil F.

Dentist & Private Investor:

“Completing the Gym of Wealth coaching course has been an invaluable experience for me.  I have had a keen interest in investing and wealth creation since my mid twenties, reading many investing books and studying gurus like Warren Buffet.  Doing this course has added so much more financial knowledge and first hand insight into the financial world.
I have a much better understanding on how the economy works and I’m now able to manage my money with so much more confidence than before.  With so much conflicting information out there on which stocks to buy and how to invest your money, Manoj was able to give me the tools to manage a solid portfolio on my own and most importantly manage my own psychology when making investment decisions.
The course structure has been excellent in addition to Manoj’s open friendly approach.  His simple yet thorough explanations of complex financial knowledge will definitely help me in achieving my long term goal of becoming a sophisticated investor.  Great course.”

Investment Bank Technology Specialist:

“I worked with Manoj as my coach during parts of 2017 and 2018. Through career coaching I’ve managed to keep up my work ethic, improving my technology skills along the way. Manoj is a knowledgeable and positive coach who instils belief in his clients. I have found that his coaching is more than just hiring someone to achieve a goal, I  created a positive relationship with someone who I can bounce ideas off and seek advice from who has a wealth of life experiences.”
