“I engaged Prof Sattar Bawany as my Executive Coach to help me think through and strategize an important leadership transition within my organization. His very coach-centric approach helped me anticipate the challenges that would arise and recommend best practices on how to manage those challenges. He can quickly get to the core of issues and have an extensive set of actionable recommendations. Working with him has amplified my strengths and addressed my key development areas. Each coaching session has left me with valuable insights and new leadership strategies I could implement immediately, which include new approaches to difficult conversations to new ways to inspire my team.”

“Prof Sattar Bawany has a very effective coaching style and approach. First and foremost, it comes across that he takes the coaching engagement very personally – there is a very strong vested interest in ensuring the coachee succeeds. Certainly, the breadth of his experience is impressive and provides a very good perspective for the senior leader whom he coached and transitioned to his new regional senior leadership role. There is certainly a case to be made about learning from the best, and he has this unique ability to distill learnings from the best-in-class leaders globally and pass that on in his coaching program. There is no doubt that my leader has benefited greatly from his experience with Prof Bawany as his Coach. I have seen my leader improve in all areas. I have no hesitancy in recommending DLI and Prof Bawany as a top-tier professional C-suite executive coach to any client keen on engaging him for a similar assignment.”

“As my Executive Coach, Prof Sattar Bawany has quickly become a confidant who I could trust to give an open and very honest assessment of my strengths and areas of development, advice on how a senior leader needs to position himself, and insight into the myriad of insurmountable challenges both current and yet to be encountered. His sound advice on how to resolve issues at the board and senior management level, how to implement these changes, and coaching on how to build relationships and drive focus in the company were excellent. The result was an increase in self-confidence and a sharper focus on what can make a difference to the business.

Prof Bawany acts as a dynamic sounding board, not merely reflecting thoughts and ideas but challenging them and subtly molding them in such a way that woolly uncertainty is transformed into crisp focus, backed by the confidence that the way forward is both achievable and enhancing for both myself as the coachee and the organization.”
