About Shailesh Kantak

With 33 years of professional experience, I have dedicated my career to helping young leaders and entrepreneurs grow their leadership skills beyond theory. Based in Mumbai, India, my coaching approach is practical, focusing on the nuances of leadership that go unaddressed in conventional training. My goal is to equip aspiring leaders with the skills, mindsets, and frameworks necessary to inspire their teams, make impactful decisions, and build sustainable growth.

  • Grounded: Being grounded means staying anchored in your values, beliefs, and principles. Great leaders operate with integrity, remaining steady and resilient through challenges. In my coaching, I emphasize the importance of self-awareness and aligning leadership decisions with personal and organizational values.
  • Inclusive: An inclusive leader fosters collaboration and creates an environment where every team member feels valued and heard. It’s about recognizing diversity within your team and encouraging different perspectives. I coach leaders on how to build trust and inclusivity, which are key drivers of innovation and engagement.
  • Visionary: Visionary leadership is about seeing the bigger picture and setting a clear, inspiring direction for your team. Leaders who master this trait are able to anticipate future trends, set ambitious goals, and align their teams around a shared vision. I work with clients to sharpen their strategic thinking and craft long-term visions that motivate and align their teams.
  • Empowering: Great leaders don’t micromanage—they empower others to take ownership of their roles and grow within the organization. Empowering leaders build future leaders by delegating effectively, offering support, and encouraging personal growth. In my coaching, I help leaders adopt the mindset and tools needed to inspire, mentor, and develop their teams.

Shailesh’s GIVE Leadership Model helped me shift from micromanaging to truly empowering my team. This change has led to better delegation and stronger performance across the board. His coaching approach is incredibly practical and grounded in real-world experience.

Shailesh has been an important influence in helping me grow to my fullest potential in my professional career. His GIVE model of leadership is a natural evolution of what he himself embodies as a leader and a human - He is among the most grounded, inclusive, visionary and empowering mentor/leaders that I have come across. I am sure that anyone who spends time with him discovering oneself and together unlearning (yes, you read that right, its more about letting go than adding more) the art of leadership will benefit substantially both professionally and personally.

Frequently asked questions

What is one-to-one leadership coaching?

One-to-one leadership coaching is a personalized development experience designed to focus on your unique leadership challenges and goals. Unlike generic training programs, this type of coaching tailors each session to your specific needs, providing customized strategies, feedback, and support. It helps you build self-awareness, improve your leadership style, and achieve measurable growth in your role.

Who can benefit from leadership coaching?

Leadership coaching is ideal for entrepreneurs, new business owners, aspiring leaders, and professionals who have recently stepped into leadership roles. It’s especially beneficial if you’re looking to develop a clearer vision, boost your confidence, improve team dynamics, or navigate the complexities of scaling a business. Whether you’re an emerging leader or an experienced executive, coaching can help you reach the next level of leadership.

How does leadership coaching differ from mentoring?

While both coaching and mentoring involve guidance and support, they serve different purposes. Coaching focuses on achieving specific leadership goals through structured conversations, feedback, and strategies tailored to your needs. Mentoring, on the other hand, is typically more informal and involves sharing advice and experiences based on the mentor’s background. Leadership coaching is goal-oriented and often short-term, whereas mentoring relationships tend to be longer-term and more general.

What can I expect during a discovery call?

A discovery call is a free, 30-minute session where we discuss your leadership challenges, goals, and what you hope to achieve through coaching. It’s an opportunity for you to learn more about my approach and see if it aligns with your needs. We’ll explore how coaching can help you grow as a leader and determine if the Leadership Accelerator Program or personalized coaching sessions are the right fit for you.
