"I am now able to communicate confidently, understand others’ emotions, and embrace responsibility. I nurture every member of my team and they respect and value my presence."

To be a better leader, I realized I needed more than technical skills. I had to improve my communication, control my anger, and connect with the people I was leading on a deeper level. This realization is what led me to a transformative journey with Zenith, changing my perspective, and evolving how I operated as a leader. Today, I've overcome challenges, thanks to my mentor Gurleen Ma'am's push to "Give it, whatever it takes." With Zenith's guidance, I've improved my communication, empathy, and leadership. I've earned respect from my team and rebuilt connections. I'm grateful to Zenith's team, especially Aafreen and Mridu, and the supportive community that feels like family. This journey has been amazing.

“At Zenith, I was very fortunate to get guided mentorship throughout the training from Gurleen ma’am”

I had worked my way up the professional ladder only to find that I was struggling to establish a connection with people, was hesitant to express myself, and was unsure if what I had to say was relevant to the people in my professional and personal life. I went from being a self-centered communicator to an involved leader. I never thought that establishing a connection with the people I am communicating with could be broken down into such tangible and scientific steps. I feel so light as I have drifted away from the fear of failure and judgment.

"Over the last 12 weeks that I have had the opportunity to be mentored by Gurleen Ma’am, I have learned about the proper approach to think deeply, to comprehend the reasons behind my negative thoughts, and to begin making real and genuine connections with the people in my life."

Gurleen Ma’am taught me how to get rid of the negative conflicting emotions that I used to be constantly plagued by. Now, each morning when I get up, I greet the King within me by saying, “Hello King, you look great. Today is going to be a successful, and happy day. You are going to nail it.” I have started using the Zenith mindset to get rid of my actions and mindsets that were hindering me from my growth. I have now stopped dominating conversations, cutting people off, and spending the majority of my time on social media. These poor behaviors are no longer practiced by this Osman version 2.0

“I've learned that when I invest in myself, it benefits others too. This realization fills me with gratitude.”

Making the decision to invest in myself to be a part of this program was not easy. Ultimately, the pivotal realisation that drove me towards Communication Intelligence was the understanding that we readily invest our time, money, and resources in our loved ones—our spouses, children, parents—while often leaving ourselves behind. However, in the past few weeks, I've come to understand that investing in myself is, in essence, a way of investing in them. Because as I grow, the people around me also experience growth. It's for this profound realisation that I feel deeply grateful today. I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to Gurleen Ma'am and her exceptional team for guiding me out of my former self and empowering me to become a more loving, confident, and empathetic individual. This journey will forever stand as one of the most significant and enriching experiences of my life

“Zenith helped me grow and become impactful in communication  which has gained me the respect of my colleagues"

I was delighted to be experiencing new aspects of communication - every day felt like a day I was growing. Over the last 12 weeks, I have experienced immense growth and refinement in my communication with peers. The people around me have started noticing the clarity in my communication,

which is totally different from how things used to be. I have gone from being someone with just good ideas to someone who knows how to put those ideas in a structure and present them.

“Discovering Authentic Connection is one of the learnings that has completely changed the way I exist”

Participating in the Communication Intelligence program has taught me a valuable lesson - I have learnt that when it comes to establishing a connection with the people in my life, be that personal or professional, how authentic my expression is can be a game changer. I have learned that I don’t need to be someone else to be admired by people. Communication Intelligence is all about how I can be my best, most honest self, and still have people admire my expression and presence. This one learning has completely changed the way I exist, and I am very grateful for it.

"Transformative Mentorship: My Journey with Gurleen Ma'am and Zenith Principles has been miraculous"

Gurleen Ma'am’s mentorship has been truly exceptional, and I'm incredibly grateful for the profound impact it's had on my life. Initially, I thought this program would mainly help me professionally, but it has far exceeded my expectations. It provided me with a comprehensive guideline tailored to my specific needs, including those areas of work that I did not even know existed before joining the program. Now, in every conversation, I consciously stay present and use simple yet powerful techniques to manage my emotions. I focus on achieving my goals, actively seek value, and welcome new perspectives. I am confident that I have set myself up for success in these last 12 weeks. I am sure that the knowledge and personal growth I've gained are just the beginning of my transformative journey. Now, I am fully committed to living my life by the Zenith principles. Forever grateful!

“Recognizing and celebrating my progress and hard work has transformed both my internal dialogue and external relationships significantly.”

The last 12 weeks with Communication Intelligence have taught me that it's often the smallest of actions that have the most significant impact. I have gone from being someone who would hold myself back from expressing, to someone who can connect with anyone that I come across - be that a stranger in the pantry of my office, my team, or the guard outside of my apartment building. I have learned to recognize and celebrate my own progress and the hard work I put in towards my goals. This little shift in my internal dialogue is what ultimately drove my external communication and relationships to a remarkable transformation

“I've embarked on a journey of self-discovery, shedding layers of self-doubt and insecurities, and embraced the power of self-confidence and belief that was always within me."

The decision that I made several weeks ago of joining Zenith and being a part of the Communication Intelligence program marked the inception of an extraordinary transformation in my life. Over the past 12 weeks, I've embarked on a journey deep within myself, peeling away layers of self-doubt and insecurities. Along this path, I have uncovered the remarkable potency of self-confidence and self-belief, learning to trust in my own abilities and wholeheartedly embrace my unique strengths. These last few weeks finally taught me something so pivotal to my connection with those around me, that I am almost sad I didn’t learn this earlier in my life. I now understand that when it comes to relationships, "It's not about me, but about them." I am committed to continuously enhancing my Communication Intelligence, utilizing it to foster positive impacts in both my personal and professional relationships. Now that I have uncovered the Zenith within myself, I am committed to keep digging, keep growing.

“I've had a profound revelation: my happiness isn't dependent on perfection or accomplishments; it's deeply rooted in the quality of connections I forge with the people in my life.”

These past 12 weeks have taught me the importance of personal growth. I now value my learner’s mindset and enter every interaction with the intention to learn something new. Being at Zenith, my attitude and the way that I approach things has completely changed. I spend every minute in an attempt to evolve and be better. While I've strived for perfection in my work over the years, there has always been a sense that something is missing. Now, after these eye-opening 12 weeks, I've had a significant insight: my happiness doesn't depend solely on perfection or achievements. It's about how well I connect with the people in my life. To achieve this, one key element stands out – Communication Intelligence.

“I'm immensely grateful to Gurleen Ma'am, my coach and mentor, for being the driving force behind my personal and professional growth."

Honestly, I have not seen such a dedicated mentor who is so engrossed in the development of every single student, in the last so many years I have spent in the corporate industry. The kind of self-reflection our inner self goes through and how the program makes us imbibe these learnings as a part of our character is truly commendable, and Gurleen Ma’am has been the key to this transformational journey. I cannot thank Gurleen Ma’am enough. I am blessed to have been associated with her as my

coach, my Guru and mentor who has been a positive driving force in my life. Her guidance is what has pushed me ahead in my personal and professional life

“Gurleen Ma'am's mentorship has been my unwavering source of confidence, guiding me to persevere and thrive, even during uncertain moments.”

Since becoming a part of Zenith, my ability to convey my ideas with confidence and persuasion has not only opened exciting doors but has also fundamentally transformed the nature of the opportunities that are now knocking at my door. It was not all unicorns and rainbows, but is actually in moments when I stumbled, did I realize the value of being a part of a mentorship program, instead of another training program. Gurleen Ma’am’s mentorship has been my saving grace, the one thing that gave me the confidence to keep going and growing, even in moments when I wasn’t sure.

There is a saying that goes, “With the right support and unwavering determination, the possibilities are boundless.” But, I'd like to rephrase this and say this instead: "With Gurleen Ma'am's unwavering support and endless motivation, nothing is beyond my reach.

“The Communication Intelligence program extended its impact beyond enhancing my verbal communication skills; it enlightened me about the significance of my non-verbal communication, shedding light on how it influenced my authority in the workplace.”

Adopting the Zenith lifestyle by getting an opportunity to be a part of the Communication Intelligence Training Program has truly been a game-changer for me. The Communication Intelligence program went beyond just improving my verbal communication; it taught me to recognize the importance of my gestural communication and how that was impacting my authority at the workplace. My interactions now are much more nuanced and insightful, allowing me to establish deeper connections with the people that surround me.

“Communication Intelligence has been more than just a program - it opened my eyes to perspectives and skills worth a lifetime”

I was never really taken seriously and was perceived as immature and not ready for bigger roles. Undergoing this training in Communication Intelligence has completely transformed my way of existence. My responses are so much more mature, and I look, feel, and am perceived as much more in control. The techniques and concepts of this program have definitely become a part of me. I am deeply grateful to Gurleen Ma'am, for making me realize the power of simplicity when striving to make a difference.

When People ask me what I have achieved after joining this training program, I happily say that now I know how to nurture and have meaningful relationships, I know how to make emotional connection and be an outcome-driven communicator, while ensuring that all parties go back with a smile on their face. Gurleen Ma’am has switched on the light in the darkest parts of my mind. I have gone from being a cluttered Bhumi to someone who now has wings to fly higher. I'm truly grateful for Gurleen Ma’am’s impact on my life. I'll miss her after this program, but I promise to keep flying higher with the wings she has given me.

"I have learned to take the initiative and speak up - I am now being seen differently by my colleagues and supervisors"

After joining Zenith, I realized that learning to communicate clearly and consistently with others is essential for developing healthy relationships. I now understand that communication is an art that involves expression, empathy, and the ability to drive whatever outcome I want out of a conversation. Before, I spent all my energy following poor communication principles and was misunderstood and often caught in conflicts. Now, when I interact with my clients and customers, I don’t just give in – I am in the driver’s seat at all times, and I know the right things to say because I now understand the psychology of my listeners.

"Looking back, the growth I experienced in my personal and professional life through Zenith has been nothing short of a miracle"

Soon after I got the promotion I toiled hard for, I realized I struggled to handle tricky situations tactfully. Even when my heart was in the right place or I had a great idea, I found it difficult to express myself convincingly, sometimes leading to misunderstandings. Gurleen Ma’am’s guidance and mentorship have changed my perspective and counterfeited all my negative belief systems. I went from being perceived as constantly angry to someone warm and approachable. I feel so empowered as the challenges that once stood in the way have become stepping stones to possibilities I thought were out of reach for me.

"As a senior leader for half of my career, I've discovered at Zenith that internal communication is as crucial as external communication, reshaping my leadership approach."

Having been in senior leadership positions through half my professional life, the one thing that no one ever taught me was that my internal communication was just as important as my external communication. This is something that I have learned at Zenith that has completely altered the way in which I now lead. I now recognize that how I engage with my own thoughts is just as crucial as how I communicate with those in my circle. Skills like empathetic listening and building trust before imparting facts have become central in my conversations. I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to Gurleen Madam, Ms. Aafreen, Ms. Mridu, and the entire Zenith team for being there for  me on this transformative journey. I take great pride in my personal growth and achievements, knowing that I have come a long way.
