Choosing Amrita as my mentor coach has been an absolute game-changer in my coaching journey. Amrita brings an unparalleled level of authenticity, transparency, and dedication to her mentoring. I can’t thank her enough for the invaluable insights she has provided to enhance my coaching skills.

Amrita’s coaching style is not just about ticking boxes; it’s a personalized and deeply invested approach that goes beyond the surface. Her commitment to our growth is evident in every interaction, whether it’s a group mentoring session or a one-on-one meeting.

What sets Amrita apart is her genuine care and the willingness to guide me through both strengths and areas for improvement. After a recent session where I was facing difficulty in sharpening one of my coaching skills, Amrita didn’t settle for superficial feedback. Instead, she took the time to help me understand how I could enhance my coaching skills.

This level of mentorship is rare, and I feel fortunate to have Amrita by my side in this journey. Her insights are not just about professional development; they touch the core of personal growth. Thank you, Amrita, for being an exceptional mentor coach who goes above and beyond to ensure our success.

I’ve had the immense privilege of having Amrita as my coach and my mentor over the last few years. Her wisdom and knowledge have truly inspired me and guided my own path towards becoming a leadership coach.

She has helped me see my own strengths and niche in the coaching world and has encouraged me to go deep into this powerful work. It is very evident that Amrita lives her values – she exudes them in her actions and her speech.

Every time I might have doubted myself, she helped me reflect on what was truly happening in that very moment.

Furthermore, she has helped me shape my own offering using my own unique background as I transitioned from one career to another. Grateful for her friendship and her guidance!

Coach, Coaching for Transformation

I chose to be mentored by Amrita after a lot of research in the industry as my focus was on transformational coaching, not transactional. Speaking with Amrita before the program gave me a sense that Back to Source was my answer as she considered my specific need for deep coaching, not just a certification. Amrita’s mentoring is spirit-led, her deep confidence in her mentees is powerful enough to gently hold space for the mentee as they go through a transformation process, while becoming the coaches that elicit the same qualities in their clients. In less than three months, my coaching evolved to levels where my clients could immediately sense the elevated power and precision, through love.

Participating in the mentoring program with Amrita has been transformational for me, personally and professionally. Both the group and one-to-one sessions offered a safe, loving and sometimes challenging space for me to explore more deeply my capacities as a professional coach. The experiential nature of the group sessions provided the opportunity to stretch and grow into a more confident coach. I gained so many valuable insights from listening to my recordings and receiving such detailed and constructive feedback from Amrita. She is a masterful mentor and coach, who deeply embodies the professional coaching mindset.

This program, under Amrita’s loving guidance, has truly reignited my commitment to my development and work as a professional coach. I am so grateful for this program and the powerful impact is having on my coaching journey.

Without a doubt, this mentoring program towards ACC Accreditation is something that I would call a ‘life saver’ program!
It also required me to do a lot of ‘pulling myself’ to do it. The framework and the group sessions helped bring a lot of joy in the learning process and enormous peer learning opportunities. Amrita really helped with all the patient guidance, at most of the steps. Now it gives me more confidence in taking coaching as a process and program all the way through. Thanks for helping me ‘release’ that tentativeness, and now work towards offering high-impact coaching for all my clients.

Joining the ACC mentoring program with Amrita was the right decision for me, not just towards the ACC credential, but also for my growth as a coach.

The program provided a spacious environment where I felt supported and encouraged to explore at my own pace, while still benefiting from the collective wisdom of the group. What truly set this program apart was the balance between individualized attention and group learning. There were many opportunities for practice, allowing me to hone my skills in a safe and supportive setting. The feedback I received from Amrita was deep and thorough and delivered with compassion and understanding.
I appreciated how seamlessly my learnings from the program could be integrated into my coaching practice. Amrita’s heart-centred approach created a nurturing space in which I was able to tap into greater capacity and connect with others on a deeper level.

I’m grateful for the mentoring journey and Amrita’s invaluable support through the whole process

The mentoring program designed by Amrita touched upon nuances of coaching from the ICF’s point of view, which was very helpful to understand. Along with it, everything that she shared from her experience and expertise as a coach, really helped in getting huge clarity in terms of our role as a coach, the presence we need to bring, the various manners in which we can approach something, ask a question etc. It opened my mind and widened my articulation.

The 1:1 mentoring sessions with Amrita were the most precious part of the program. The inputs that I got from her has made a huge impact on my presence as a coach, it has made me a far better coach than I was before this program. I am very grateful to her and her team for putting this together.

I have been privileged to be mentored by Amrita for my ICF ACC Accreditation requirements. The program was extremely revealing and beneficial. Amrita’s observations, powerful questions and alternative ways helped me smoothen out a few rough edges that I was carrying in my coaching engagements. I found the sessions, extremely uplifting for which I shall be ever grateful to her.

Instilling confidence and belief in my coaching ability is what this beautifully designed mentoring journey did for me. The explanation of the markers through personal examples made it practical and easy to understand them.
Amrita shared so much of her immense experience and wisdom freely and created this wonderful safe space for us to share and learn. Her keen insights & feedback during our 1:1 sharing not only my strengths but also gentle but firm callouts to my areas of improvement were a great eye-opener, setting the path for continuous learning and mastery.

The entire coaching program by Back to Source and Coach for Life had been such a phenomenal experience, that when it was time for mentoring, I was super excited to continue the association that much longer. The best part of the mentoring sessions was the 1-1 time to bring your coaching in its most authentic form to your mentor and to receive feedforward. After every session, I went back with a feeling that I was good at something and I also learnt something new.
The deep-diving into each marker, with examples, and with us playing out that marker was the most practical way to really understand them. And no one hesitated to come forward and share. It’s a safe space to bring your whole self.

Presence! The greatest takeaway from the mentoring sessions of Back to Source.

The sessions allowed me to be authentic and vulnerable. Mistakes in the session were gently corrected. Deep insights received as the mentor evaluated my coaching style and questions.

The Mentoring sessions were extremely useful to me for getting started in my coaching journey. They are amazing mentors and have an eye for detail. They helped me get out of my initial fear of coaching. The feedback I received on my recordings helped me fine-tune my coaching style and make the process my own. The entire approach is positive, educative, and empowering with hands-on experience during the group sessions.
I would highly recommend anyone going through the program to take up Mentoring to strengthen their foundations in Coaching.
