Coaching Style
Vipul believes people are complete within themselves, they need to discover it by diminishing or eliminating the limiting factors. His approach uses the “Whole Self” where clients integrate their mental, physical and emotional parts to discover new and unique ways of being and communicating.
His foundational coaching style is inspired by Columbia University’s coaching model combined with experiential and immersive learning methods for deeper exploration by integrating tools from the world of Positive Psychology, Gestalt, Psychodrama, NLP, Acting and Transactional Analysis. Drawing inspiration from acting, he encourages experimentation and practice and not just theorising about it.

Both from my personal experience of ECC's approach, and from seeing the impact on our company I can particularly recommend their pragmatic approach and their insight into our collective and individual needs.
The six sessions I had with my ECC Coach changed my perspective of coaching. I was initially uncertain (and possibly sceptical) about the benefits of coaching but my coach read me very well and knew when to coax a response out from me by being encouraging and when to firmly push me to see the benefits of reframing some of my previously held positions.
