Trainers Profile

Mr. Sandeep Khanna expertise and passion is helping leaders manage and thrive on transitions. This is linked to his core value of helping leaders become a better version of themselves

At the heart of his coaching philosophy is the belief that true leadership begins with understanding oneself—why we do what we do—and extends outward to inspire others. He sees his role as a guide who helps leaders peel back the layers, revealing the core motivations that drive their decisions and actions. He emphasizes starting with “Why” because clarity of purpose is the anchor in times of uncertainty.

However, clarity alone isn’t enough. He encourages his clients to embrace vulnerability as a strength, not a weakness. Leadership today requires courage, the kind that comes from being open about our struggles and imperfections. It’s this authenticity that builds trust and deepens connections with others.

His approach is highly personalized—no two leaders are the same, so his coaching isn’t either. He cuts through the noise to focus on what truly matters. He provokes thought, challenges assumptions, and, most importantly, supports his clients in translating insight into impactful action.

Training Programs

The whole suite of leadership and manager development programs. In addition,

He has created and delivered specific programs on Managing Unconscious Biases as a way to build inclusion on one hand and programs around personal well-being and managing one’s energies on the other.

Specializations

Mr. Sandeep works with anyone in a state of upward or lateral transition and would be the kind of leader I would love to coach. Tools like Hogan are great but not critical. He can also work with any psychometric tool to unpack insights.
