Who We Are

In our journey of enabling people & organizations, either as a business professional or people consultant, we realized that clients primarily wanted to be heard. We heard them intently and helped them navigate through their ideas or challenges. In this process of sounding their ideas off to us and finding their own solutions, they called us their SoundingBoard. This is how we created our identity, as SoundingBoard.

As SoundingBoards, we enable our clients to become aware of their people/business issues by empathic listening, skill building through sustainable and applicable learning interventions, challenging them by throwing new perspectives and finally guiding them to solve the problem at hand.

We proudly call ourselves SoundingBoards. We blend coaching and facilitation techniques to help our clients in their learning and development journey.

Why We Exist ?

What we partner our clients on?

Our programs blend coaching and facilitation by using the learning methodologies and principles of:

  • Power coaching through mind kinetics
  • Accelerated Learning
  • Theatre of oppressed
  • Experiential learning
  • Scenario based / Simulation learning
  • Activity based learning

How does SoundingBoard work?

SoundingBoard designs programs as Learning Journeys for sustained behavioral changes that drive business impact and do not propose a program in isolation. We believe in aligning our interventions with a strategic business need to build a series of coaching / facilitation sessions.

Coaching or Facilitation @ SoundingBoard use the ACE Model. Through The ACE Model, we engage clients one-on-one or in large groups, in the process of questioning, probing, stretching them to see beyond the obvious and setting them free to define the way forward.

Country Director Not for Profit

My coaching sessions were Stimulating and led to a lot of introspection. They made me think through assumptions, self limiting thoughts, thinking patterns, what worked well for me in the past, what did not, situations for high performance, my strengths, areas of weakness. There are areas where I have converted unconstructive patterns into positive habits. We determined short term and long term goals, identified reasons for failure in the past and other roadblocks and then worked on options. Jayshree made sure that I work on my action plan and get results. There were times I failed but Jayshree would handhold me and give me enough impetus to get back on track. There was clarity in terms of what I wanted to achieve and how I would go about it with concrete actions. It led to a lot of clarity and I was able to tap into various areas of my life and improvise certain aspects.

Manager Learning & Development, Management Consulting

“Coaching session helped me to think on what I was doing and how I could do the same things in much better way. It helped me think what others think about me when I act in a particular way and helped me improve on my actions with all the more control on myself and helped me control my anger and behave more patiently. Jay was patient and listened to what I have to say. It feels really good when someone listens to the problems one faces without any interference. Her listening skills and giving suggestions helped me a lot. ”
