Sohail is an amazing leadership coach. With his help, I was able to unlock my own potential as a leader. He facilitated my self-discovery as a leader. Through the deep, non-judgmental, and goal-oriented sessions that I had with him over a period of 6 months, I was able to reflect on, assess and reimagine my values and leadership style, mission and developed a personal leadership navigation guide. I am now leading a national teacher education and development organization in South Africa. I was able to see what I was not happy with and took action about it. Coach Pedari is a rare leadership coach.

I have had the pleasure to attend one seminar which Sohail led during his time at Marriott International. The level and nature of participation were simply exceptional, with concrete exercises and examples, excellent analysis, and feedback. It was one of the best workshops I have ever attended. I enjoyed it thoroughly and I am certain that anyone would benefit from attending a course trained by him.

I have known Sohail (Coach Pedari) since 2009. He is an incredible individual, dedicated, extremely focused, and goal driven. We traveled on many occasions for business within middle-east and throughout this experience, I realized how connected and respected he was. I don’t think the word “impossible” exists in his vocabulary and I am delighted to know him as a friend and look forward to a time when we can reconnect again.

Having worked with Sohail for over 5 years, I am always impressed by Sohail’s passion for investing in developing people and helping them expand their knowledge, options and points of view. Sohail is committed to finding and making time to review his team’s performance, finding out what drives and motivates them and how he can involve them in projects that speak to their passions, areas of interest and areas of development.
I remember speaking to teams who had attended his trainings, even recently, and the consistent feedback that came across was: “Sohail speaks from the heart and is very genuine in his delivery”, “Sohail relates to the market and the challenges that both sales people and clients have to deal with and leverages real and both local and regional examples”, “Sohail is an interesting presenter that people want to attend trainings with”. During our time at Marriott Sohail played a major role in localizing our Sales training examples, engaging with real clients to be featured in our training videos examples, making it REAL.
He has also helped many people through encouragement, positive reinforcement and motivation. I am glad I had the opportunity to work with Sohail, I recommend him for any organization that is looking to develop their teams, to drive positivity and to open their teams eyes and help them focus on expanding their vision. Sohail, true coach.
