Here's what students say about Dr. Neera Puri's classes:

"Neera Puri was my instructor for Foundations.  Her willingness to give of herself--both her time and her expertise--was incredibly helpful to me and had huge personal impact.  On several occasions, she offered to spend significant amounts of time helping me on business development projects I was working on outside of class.  Her insights were extremely helpful.  I felt very supported by her as my instructor."
-M.M., Psychologist, Private Practice, Bellingham, Washington, USA

"It is difficult to know where to begin in terms of describing how I have benefited from completing the Coaching Foundations Course at Mentor Coach.  It is as different as harvesting a crop by hand or using a combine.  I feel I have brought a greater set of skills to the table and my clients are the beneficiaries.  I have a renewed confidence in my ability to empower my clients to reach their own goals by helping them access their own talents, skills and resources to make it happen.

The facilitators that I have been fortunate enough to work with embodied the spirit of coaching. Neera did not just teach the course but she lived the role.  We felt the joy she experienced each time we shared a win in our own journey and she shared our pain as some of us were effected by loss or problems in our personal lives along the way.  I have taken many professional development and continuing education courses over my career but I have never had such an effective teacher until I took the Coaching course.  You simply cannot take this course without growing as a person and a professional. Thank you for this opportunity and wish you continued success."

-P.D., Career Coach, McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada

"There are many times I meet very talented coaches and health care professionals who don't have the visibility to promote their service. The first thing I ask of them is 'Do you have a website?'"

"I fundamentally believe the website is the modern day business card. It provides a safe way for your clients to access information about you. I stumbled upon just how important websites are for service oriented companies, when 10 years ago I was on the board of a Southern California non-profit that was doing outreach with domestic violence in the South Asian and Middle Eastern communities. "

"They did fabulous work, however not enough people knew about their services. I gathered a technology team, and assisted with getting the non-profit online within their budget. The next thing I knew, clients were immediately contacting them for help. What amazed me at the time when this technology was fairly new, was to see that even clients facing domestic violence situations can feel safe approaching for help online."

Dr. Neera Puri later went on to research the phenomena of online help-seeking. Her results showed that even for the most stigmatizing issues such as sexual concerns, people preferred the anonymity that virtual coaching (by phone or online) provided. Now Dr. Neera Puri is a faculty teaching virtual coaching skills, with the dream that more men and people from minority communities will receive the support they are sorely lacking.

"If you resonate with my vision of getting more men and women from minority communities the help they need, then I am ready to mentor you and share my wisdom."
