Vinay has been helping grow leaders at FARRAGUT since 2017. He has coached senior leaders one-on-one and worked with teams. He has been instrumental in helping us bring about culture change and achieve better business results.
What sets him apart from other leadership consultants is that he engages with heart. This work is more than professional self-expression for him; it is service. Helping people grow in a wholesome way is a calling for him. It is his life’s purpose.
Vinay has mastered strong conceptual frameworks for leadership growth. His book “Language and Pursuit of Leadership Excellence” provides comprehensive guidance on self-mastery and communication. I also admire his expertise in Leadership Circle Profile, and the accompanying work by Bob Anderson and Bill Adams.
Above all his expertise, what shines the brightest and is the most helpful to others is his heart connection, his desire to be of service, his love for the work he does. That’s where the magic happens.

I've been the recipient of Vinay's leadership coaching for almost a year. His coaching has made a tremendously positive impact not just on my professional life, but my personal life as well. Vinay's coaching has helped me develop a deeper understanding of the "inner game" - my ongoing, subconscious, mental dialogue that so often governs my decisions, thoughts, and actions. He's taught me to recognize and be mindful of these thoughts, thereby empowering me to leverage the positive and not be overtaken by the negative. Vinay has made me a better leader by helping me deepen my understanding of myself and translate that understanding into more effective relationships with others.

Vinay is an excellent executive coach and workshop facilitator and extraordinary person. With a deep love for helping others create meaningful change in their lives, his authenticity and enthusiasm for his work shine every time he engages with someone. As the Coaching Administrator in the Key Executive Leadership Programs at American University, one of my activities is to track and monitor quality for our executive coaches, I consistently receive high praise from his clients. He is always receptive to feedback, willing to help, and goes above and beyond to serve. It is a joy to work with Vinay and we are very lucky to have him on our Executive Coaching team.
Vinay served as my executive leadership coach over the past year. He evaluated my 360-leadership assessment and within minutes of our first session, he was able to pinpoint areas for development. Vinay recommended books and TEDx presentations to add to my personal development plan. I committed to attacking these areas and noticed an immense change in both my professional and personal life. Vinay's guidance and words gave me the courage to address areas I may have once avoided. I am a stronger leader today!
