Know Your Coach
My Story: How Leadership Coaching Embraced Me!
It all started four years ago in 2020 when my inspirational wife, whose intuition I deeply admire, introduced me to the world of ICF coaching. Little did I realise, this would spark a journey that would forever change my life for the better. After completing 60 hours of ICF professional coaching, I entered a three-year self incubation period. Then one ordinary day in February 2023, as I sat at my desk replying to a routine work email, I heard a whisper: “What about coaching?” I turned around to realise that I was alone! Even today, remembering that incident gives me goosebumps that I cannot comprehend. When I shared it with my wife later, she calmly said “I’ve always believed coaching was your path. Maybe this is a sign from God and the Universe.” That moment shook something in me and soon after, right doors opened, right people showed up and opportunities began appearing, and before I knew it, in November 2023, I founded Selah Consulting Solutions to fully embrace my new calling as an Executive and Leadership Coach.
My vision today is being committed to learning, unlearning, and growing, with an aspirational goal to be in the Top 1% of Executive and Leadership Coaches in India. My mission is to help leaders globally transform into the best versions of themselves. I work with leaders using my unique personalised coaching pathway grounded in my philosophy of Pause, Reflect, and Evoke to inspire lasting, positive change—within themselves, their teams, and their organisations. I draw on my two decades of corporate experience in senior leadership roles to ensure that coaching is both practical and deeply rooted in the realities of corporate life.
It’s been an incredible journey so far! Along the way, I’ve been honored with accolades such as being named one of the ‘50 Under 50 Inspirational Leader’s, LinkedIn Top Coaching and Mentoring Voice, and India’s Top HR 101. I’ve actively contributed to the HR space as a Top Author in All Things Talent HR magazine. I also hold the prestigious LinkedIn Blue Badge for my contribution to the community as a Top Executive Leadership Coach.
Through it all, I live by the words of Harvey S. Firestone: “The growth and development of people is the highest calling of leadership.” This belief continues to guide me as I support global leaders in their pursuit of excellence!

Kenneth’s Unique Coaching Pathway
Pause
Dov Seidman beautifully captures the essence of “Pause”. He said ‘One of the simplest and most powerful tools we have as individuals is the ability to pause. When we press pause on a machine, it stops. When we pause as humans, we begin. Pausing creates a space where one can see clearly.’ In his coaching journey, Kenneth cultivates these reflective moments by posing thought-provoking questions. It’s within these intentional pauses that his clients find the crystal-clear clarity needed to chart their journey ahead with confidence and conviction.
Reflect
‘The only real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.’ says Marcel Proust. Deliberate reflection allows us to slow down and prioritise what truly matters. It serves as a reminder to stay present and fully engaged in our journey of self-awarenss, self-growth and development. Kenneth empowers his clients to embrace deliberate reflections, rediscovering their true selves and their path forward.
Evoke
Kenneth empowers his clients to evoke their inner awareness and ignite the spark of self-mastery within. To evoke is to awaken a deeper understanding of ourselves, unveiling our true potential and lighting the path to our unique aspirations. An anonymous quote encapsulates this sentiment best: ‘Evoke your inner fire and let it light the path to your dreams.’ Kenneth believes that the power to evoke awareness resides within each of us and that coaching supports to bring it to the forefront.

Leadership Individual Coaching
Lead yourself - It begins with you!
Inspired by the quote – “True leadership begins with mastering the art of leading oneself with purpose and integrity”, our coaching journey will primarily focus on:
Self-Awareness: I partner with you to increase your self-awareness. We do this through a deep introspection of your strengths, values, triggers and opportunities. You will explore your inner-self to uncover “who you are meant to be?”

Team Coaching
Maximise Teams Performance Potential
It’s not just about improving individual skills, but about enhancing the way a team functions together as a whole. It is about how coaching can enable a team to act as One team with One dream by demonstrating Collaboration, Trust, and Self-Belief.
Taking the theme from Simon Sinek quote “A team is not a group of people who work together. A team is a group of people who trust each other.” , our coaching journey here focuses on:
Align on Goals: I uncover the degree to which each team member is aligned with the shared vision and goals. I then coach the team to collectively own and work on addressing the identified gaps.
Build Trustworthiness: I support the team to understand the importance of trust to unlock their collective potential. I work with the team to see what they are missing beyond the skills that could be a game changer for their success as a team.
Enhance Communication: Through coaching, I enable teams to become aware of their communication patterns, both effective and ineffective. This opens doors for team members to be more transparent and own their collective success and failures.
Group Coaching
Harnessing Collective Wisdom for Organisational Excellence
It engages the collective strengths and insights of the group formed by individuals from different functions and domains. It’s about leveraging the group’s dynamics to foster learning and development, which can lead to improved performance and alignment with organisational goals
Inspired by this anonymous quote “Corporate group coaching empowers individuals to not only find their voice but to harmonise it with others, creating a symphony of collective wisdom and progress.”, the coaching journey here explores
Shared Vision and Goals: I partner with individuals from across functions and domains in a group setting. Key focus is to ensure we understand that it is the act of rowing the boat together that helps achieve collective objectives at an organisational level.
Leadership and Influence: I help navigate the group to allow them to uncover insights into different leadership styles and influence within the group. They also learn how different leadership approaches can be optimised to enhance group performance and engagement.
Interpersonal Dynamics: My coaching work reveals the interpersonal dynamics within the group, including communication styles, how conflict is managed, and how support is provided.
