"There will always be someone who can't see your worth. Don't let it be you." Neeraj Juneja on storytelling and getting teams and leaders to connect
One thing I love about being a coach? Meeting other coaches, who are often just the loveliest, upbeat people--and thoughtful too. Coach Neeraj Juneja is a favorite new coaching friend this year who has already taught me so much. For ~20 years, Neeraj has worked at American Express, BCG, NatWest, and Axis Bank and has coached leaders for the last 6+ years at BCG and NatWest.
In our interview (Neeraj in New Delhi, India, me here in Wisconsin, USA), we hear of his eternal optimism, his love for storytelling, and the power of staying upbeat, even during these turbulent times. We hear of the tapestry of his career, which spreads across multiple industries. We hear of Neeraj's pride in his humble roots, coming from a small town in India known for famous sweets and little else, and how well he works as a coach to bring teams and leaders together.
You can find Neeraj on LinkedIn here. Please do book him for executive and team coach work, talent development, or global facilitating. And you can anticipate he'll come back to my show again.
