Testimonials

When I think of Jaba I think of an ultimate Coaching Professional with a high level of intellect, maturity and presence. She embodies the elements of great character, strong values, gratitude, humility and dynamic personality. In the world of executive coaching, there are many coaches to work with. However, it will be the truly savvy executive who decides to work with Jaba as they will soon experience the wisdom and power of truly one of our great global executive coaches.

I was fortunate to have Jaba as my coach for 7 months through the Coaching Fellowship program. Over our 9 sessions, Jaba helped me become more aware of underlying beliefs and behavior patterns that were holding me back. She also shared tools to think through my priorities and set realistic goals. This was my first experience with professional coaching. I didn’t know what to expect going in but after working with Jaba, I am convinced of its value.

I was fortunate to pair with an excellent coach as Jaba. During the four-hour session which we split it within a month time period, I found Ms. Jaba Menon as an excellent coach, generous and a giving leader. In all of my conversations and engagements with Jaba, she has shown to be a great woman of character, intelligence, and talent. I greatly enjoyed my engagement with Jaba, and I strongly believe that she will be an asset to any coaching program. She leads by example.

I truly am fortunate to have had her as a coach. She has a gift for creating an environment of safety, so opening up with her seemed the most natural thing to do. She has the qualities of what I thought an expert should have: knowledge, communication skills, ability to listen but what sets her apart is that she can somehow always find just the right insight, the right tools for the discussion at hand. I had so many "aha" moments with her that can still remember.

Jaba has a patient, intuitive and easygoing manner that makes her a natural coach. She has the unique ability to quickly connect, listen deeply and hone in on the tiniest threads of self reflection, helping to illuminate what lies beneath the surface that can either hold one back or propel one forward. Her thoughtful direction makes the process not only rich, insightful and supportive, but also quite a delightful journey of self discovery...

I highly recommend Jaba to anyone looking for a coach who creates a positive, nurturing and no-nonsense approach to supporting personal and/or professional development.

She is a great coach; throughout our coaching sessions she probed so many questions to us to get the answers for the solution. That is how I learned coaching form her. I recommend other professionals to learn coaching in a useful way like she does.

Working with Jaba has been one of the best things I've done for my career and myself. I am able to be my most vulnerable and authentic when working with her, and she challenges me to think beyond my limits. She puts tremendous thought and effort into each session, and I leave with a new insight every time as well as the tools to apply this to my daily life. I see immense value in coaching, and in working with Jaba in particular.

It was a pleasure to have Jaba as a coach. She facilitated the sessions well and encouraged participation from all. What I like the most was that she could grasp different concepts, sometimes quite vague but she could made it concrete, broke it into smaller sections so it was easier to digest. I also like the way she put things into different perspective, which helped me to realize other viable options to see things or in decision making.

I had the pleasure of being coached by Jaba. Her sincerity, wisdom and kindness are true gifts in enabling transformation in her clients. She has an amazing range of tools that she freely shares with her clients, equipping them past the powerful conversations on their journey towards achieving their goals. A highly recommended coach!

It’s my absolute pleasure to recommend Ms. Jaba Sen Menon as a coach. I thoroughly enjoyed the coaching sessions which were very helpful. She has been able to guide me on what areas I need to work on and also how to use my strengths as a Supervisor and a Supervisee. Also, Ms. Jaba has been able to provide feedback on how to deal with conflict resolution especially with the supervisor. Using Hogan Assessments, she has explained where my strengths and areas of improvements are and how to go about knowing oneself to deal with the outside world.

Great coaches are hard to find. Jaba is a fabulous coach, she is calm and insightful, her words of wisdom gave me just the right push at the right moment to make the difficult transition in my career and family life. She also helped me to radically reinvent several aspects of myself.

Jaba supported me to know myself better and to identify the areas where I needed coaching. She then started the coaching process which helped me discover the attributes I have and I value as a human being and as a professional. She kept the conversation very simple and explained the tools, which are easy to use in daily life to know where I stand and where I want to reach. I was able to explore myself more fully in her company.

Jaba led me to take some good decisions by asking the right questions. Through her empathetic listening and non judgmental environment that she provided, I was able to reflect on my own inner challenges and move forward towards my professional goals.

Jaba was one of my MBA coaches and met with me via Skype to provide career coaching and guidance. She does an excellent job of listening and providing tools to reach your goals. I would recommend her to any MBA student looking for clarity!

I have been coached by Jaba and highly recommend her. She has a rich quality of being professional while at the same time reassuring and understanding towards my needs and expectations.I felt comfortable and safe from the moment our sessions started. Without any suggestions or leading me I found answers in my own quest with the help of well-chosen and carefully placed questioning.

Jaba invest in her clients during sessions as well as following up after sessions. I got a wonderful sense of well-being feeling empowered after each session.

I highly recommend Jaba as a coach. Not only is she open and compassionate, she's also results focused. She helped me to realize just how my inner critic was sabotaging my progress. Jaba also helped me focus on small and manageable changes that are sustainable. The next time I feel stuck or lack faith in my own ability to achieve something difficult, I'll definitely be giving Jaba a call.

Jaba brings together a rich mix of experience that pans across development and corporate sectors. Her career trajectory exemplifies how perspectives on development and private sector approaches can inform each other for strengthened results. Jaba has also leveraged her skills as a communication professional to bring together a vast set if stakeholders to a common thinking platform.

I have had the opportunity to work with Jaba for 11 years. Through these years I have seen Jaba as a leader who leads from the front and as a successful risk- taker. She is a diligent professional with 100% integrity and is down to earth, which is rare. I have learnt a lot from her and and always admire her clarity of thought and her passion for moving forward under any circumstances. Even today, I can rely on her for her any personal and professional matter, since I have always found her caring, honest and straight-forward and very focused on meeting an objective.

Working under Jaba was like meeting new challenges and discovering yourself all over again. All assignments were totally left to us and we got help only when we asked for it. While we did not like it sometime but in the process, I learnt to handle complex issues successfully and independently. I realised the value of this leadership style instead of being spoon-fed much later in my career when I saw my colleagues finding it difficult to handle situations until each step was conveyed to them, while I had learnt to find solutions creatively on my own. I also admire her for her grit to live life. She is one person whom I have always looked up to whenever I needed any advice in my life.

Jaba has been a true Mentor to me, both personally and professionally. I had the privilege to work in the Marketing team she was leading at Centum Learning Ltd. I have always idolized Jaba for her buoyant spirit, professional wisdom and kindness towards everyone. She is fearlessly enterprising and her sheer resilience and positive outlook in everything she pursues, is contagious. It is remarkable how she patiently and selflessly invests her time in nurturing the skills of her team members.
