Impact
Why and how did Call Your Shots Coaching (CYS) get created?
Despite the amazing growth and glamorous projects, I enjoyed people development as a former people manager and a corporate mentor more than anything else and found it extremely rewarding. My dad spent at least 20 years giving back to the community and he inspired me to help others. Hence I decided to build a practice dedicated to helping professionals build meaningful careers and one that is completely aligned to their interests and abilities.
