Who Can I Help?

Hi, I’m Dharmesh Chheda. I help mid -to senior-level professionals, teams ,oandleaders in finance and accounting roles. Those that are particularly feeling “imposter syndrome”, navigating their step up into a senior role, and how they can demonstrate this through behaviours and skills that elevate their confidence, contributing to the broader organisational goals whilst maintaining authenticity and their expertise. The client needs to be ready to be coached, and I do this through an intake session to establish compatibility.

How can I help?

As a coach, I facilitate a conversation and thought process that challenges and stretches individuals and teams. The objective is to shift mindsets through a learning approach rather than teaching. Offering a safe and confidential space, I encourage coachees to be open and honest to get the best out of their sessions.

I help to overcome challenges by clarifying outcomes, identifying strengths, opening possibilities, and finally, committing to action.

I get finance to become champions of client service and integral to business decision-making. Having been Head of the Academy of Professional Development at ICAEW, I know and understand the challenges of finance functions. I have coached clients to really define and think about their roles, development needs, and those for their teams.

The coachee’s ownership and accountability lie firmly with the client. I ensure the client is leading the solutions and I am leading the process.
