CLIENTS SAY

I have been associated with Venu for the last five years.In my association with a large number of experienced and senior consultants during this period. I find Venu as one of the best facilitators in the country. He brings in his rich insights, gained from his vast experience of 40 years in so many varied fields, into the Learning and Development Programmes that he anchors.He has been carrying out Leadership Development programmes for over two decades. He is also a very effective Coach. He carries simplicity, humour, high energy,focus and the highest level of commitment to all his engagements. Venu knows who he is and what he does, without carrying even an iota of air around him. I wish him all the very best in all his future endeavours.

I have known Venu since 2000. Venu has been an incredible partner to help facilitate Team interventions - be it during the storming phase or be at the performing phase ... Venu has this amazing Capability to work with any kind of team ... be it a front end team or a project team or a team with diverse members.... Venu is a learning professional, who continues to learn learn & learn all the time. Programs facilitated by Venu, according to me, are a sure short success...!!!

Group. Capt. is a fantastic person, very professional and believes in delivering results. He has done some superlative work for us and his programs are still remembered by employees. He takes his work very seriously with a single minded objective i.e. to bring to the table more than the customer expects. His domain knowledge is deep and wide. The processes are excellent. He is dedicated to getting the best out of every client he trains or coaches. Absolutely non-commercial, his financials are testimony to this. I highly recommend him if one is looking for driving change and wanting to get the best out of their employees.

I have employed the service of Venu to transform my team into a high performance unit. At that time my team was highly demotivated and lacked clarity in what they wanted to achieve. Venu first discussed with me and my senior management and understood the ground realities. On the last day of the program I joined Venu and my colleagues. I found a fresh glow on the faces of my colleagues and new found sense of purpose. I myself felt very refreshed when I was at this program. Most importantly, the team started performing very well after this program. This formed the basis for a major transformation of culture in my division.Many of my colleagues are now leading a balanced work-life and are happy and have a sense of gratitude to Venu. I wish him well for the future!!

I have worked with Venu (as a co-consultant) in many client assignments during 1998 - 2002. And after 2002 till 2005, I have hired Venu as a consultant when I was in Sasken (as a client) for many assignments including one of the flagship culture building intervention called "Team Sasken", a confronting intervention along with internal facilitators and Manford Alliance starting from the very top.

Venu is a thorough professional who is completely committed to improving the effectiveness of his participants and is willing to stretch them in order to help them discover their own hidden potential. He has the rare ability to sense the underlying group dynamic and to surface the hidden blocks to working together. He is unafraid to call a spade a spade while always remaining sensitive to the demands of the situation and context. His varied experiences and qualifications sit lightly on his shoulders and it has always been a rich learning experience to partner him in helping him conduct his programs.

I have known Venu since the 70s. As an individual, he has established a reputation of being a forthright and committed professional and mentor who reaches out to enrich the lives of other professionals who seek his guidance. He personifies the virtues of sanity and balance;combining intense personal charm with a deep commitment to social values and extraordinary objectivity in professional pursuits. He epitomises physical and moral courage and inspires these virtues in others.For those who aspire to become better leaders, I strongly recommend his well structured intervention and coaching.

I have had the pleasure of knowing Group Captain Venu Gopal for the past 25 years, while in the Indian Air Force and also subsequently after we took up different careers in the civil. An original thinker and Innovative leader, he is always ready to put all his energy and stamina to achieve the desired results. He has an in-depth understanding of leadership requirements and is very well read on a wide range of subjects. Venu has a very high value system and has been a good mentor to several colleagues and associates.

Venu, sir and his team are right on target to explain basic building blocks of career, personality, communication and anything which involves human interaction in limited time. Of-course, it is up-to the participants to build on that knowledge. I recommend him for sure.
