Srivibhavan BalaramManaging Director, India Operations
Vocera Communications

“We approached Abanel with a need for a customised coaching programme for our key Talent. Our Leaders wanted to invest in the identified key talent and ensure they developed skills and competencies which would set them up for success: this included Communication, Executive Presence and Stakeholder Management. What interested us was the creative and research-based approach Abanel had towards Leadership Development through Coaching. Their approach focuses on the whole-person growth and provides substantial opportunities for self-reflection and meaning-making. It helped our leaders drive personal growth, a clearer sense of self and reduce stress to enable real transformation. Their approach includes addressing psychological approaches to growth. In spite of the busy schedule, our participants found time to engage in a lot of learning through byte-sized learning provided by the Abanel team. Our participants found Abanel's “Taking Learning Back to Work” approach the most appealing. We could see perceptible changes in our leaders after the 6-month programme.”

“We turned to Abanel for Leadership Development through Coaching for our MOMs (Manager of Managers). Our goal was to empower them to build and nurture effective teams while maintaining a comprehensive and connected business perspective. What set Abanel apart were their ability to connect with the team and the innovative approach of “Taking Learning Back to Work”. We witnessed noticeable transformations in areas such as leadership presence, communication, adept handling of challenging team dynamics, effective collaboration with peers, and a more profound connection to the broader business landscape.

Abanel's approach prioritised holistic development and encouraged moments of introspection. It provided our leaders with a much-needed pause from their demanding daily routines, allowing them to re-evaluate themselves, their work, and their lives. Consequently, this introspection led to a rekindled sense of purpose, not only in their professional roles but also in their personal lives. We are grateful for the transformative experience Abanel provided.”

Aequs Private Limited

“Like in any industry, competency enhancement is critical for the industry we operate in: Aerospace. Abanel worked on capability building for one of our core talent segments, middle and senior managers. Their design was anchored on competencies and we were impressed by the unique approach they had: a blended approach to learning, with a key responsibility of learning resting on the learner. Abanel had a robust approach right from understanding our exact requirement, to designing, developing and also working with our internal team to implement it. The quality of content they curated for the learning sessions and the programme design focused on connecting the learning back to the learner's workplace synced well with our requirement. The feedback from the learners and their managers spoke about the changes they were able to experience. It was a meaningful partnership with Abanel for building sustainable competitive advantage at Aequs through people capability enhancement.”

“Thank you for hand holding our 25 young managers group and coaching them individually to discover their latent potential in each of them. The participants are all excited to practise the learnings they had during the 6 month programme. The programme was successful as it was a customised journey with an excellent blend of individual coaching and high quality curated content for each participant. The areas explored by individuals varied from Executive presence, Assertiveness, Influencing skills, Handling stress / anger, Communicating for impact, Cross function working so on and so forth! During the 6 month programme, we could see the positive impact of the programme on these participants. The focus of the programme, as Abanel coined it as TLBTW (Taking Learning Back to Work) was appealing and added value to our organisation. Appreciate the efforts taken by the Abanel team to work with each YMP participant's individual requirement and staying connected to our group throughout the programme, demonstrated the commitment towards achieving the desired results.”
