TESTIMONIALS

What do people say about the service

Leilei (Layla) Wu

Tech Program Manager @ Amazon

Aditya is insightful and understands my challenges well. He asks questions, not only to make sure that we target on the right problem and also push me to think from different angle. What benefits me the most are, his knowledge and advice from first hand experience as a business leader, and he follows up and makes sure there are take always and actions at the end each session so that I gain the most from “doing”. I definitely recommend Aditya to those who want to progress their career.

Nikhil Astir

Adeeb Khan

Technologist

Aditya's insightful and thought-provoking guidance on career advancement was truly valuable. He offered a unique peek behind the curtain into the mindsets and operations of leaders and managers, leaving a lasting positive impression. Thanks, Aditya!

Smitha George

Data Analyst Associate

I had a fantastic career mentoring session with Aditya and truly appreciate his time and insights. He was professional, quickly grasped my aspirations, and provided valuable guidance. His advice wasn’t the easiest path, but it offered a clear direction toward my goals. Aditya’s mentorship goes beyond career advice—he helps individuals grow personally and professionally. I highly recommend him for his thoughtful and impactful guidance. Thank you, Aditya!

Shibani Rai

Lead Sales Engineer

Working with Aditya to develop a strategic career plan exceeded my expectations to such an extent that I have since referred him to three of my personal connections. Leveraging Aditya's extensive experience as a seasoned hiring manager, he challenged my thinking and also held mock interviews leading me to effectively articulate both my past experiences and future potential and land my dream role.

Vincent Lam

Tech-sales guy | Ex-IBM

Aditya brings decades of experience to the coaching sessions. He not only helped me personalised my resume but he helped me tell a story that emotionally connects from a hiring manager’s perspective. We spent some time getting my story right and I believe that pays dividends down the road throughout my career. Overall I believe Aditya’s sessions are well worth the investment!

Impact

Why and how did Call Your Shots Coaching (CYS) get created?

Despite the amazing growth and glamorous projects, I enjoyed people development as a former people manager and a corporate mentor more than anything else and found it extremely rewarding. My dad spent at least 20 years giving back to the community and he inspired me to help others. Hence I decided to build a practice dedicated to helping professionals build meaningful careers and one that is completely aligned to their interests and abilities.
