Hi, I'm more of a friend than a formal life coach

Transforming Lives Through Workshops, Laughter and Real Life Scenarios Techniques

After spending over 15 years navigating the highs and lows of corporate life—across global MNCs and scrappy start-ups - I’ve come to realize that the most powerful transformations don’t happen in boardrooms. They happen within PEOPLE

I used to be the guy who rehearsed “hello” five times before saying it—and still whispered it. Social gatherings felt like obstacle courses, and public speaking? That was a horror genre. But somewhere between awkward silences and accidental eye contact, I discovered the power of people skills. Now, I help others rewrite their own scripts—from wallflowers to wow-factors. If I CAN DO IT, TRUST ME, SO CAN YOU.

I’m here to prove that confidence isn’t inherited - it’s built. ONE LAUGH, ONE STORY, ONE SKILL at a time.

Mission & Vision

Our Mission

To help people who’ve ever rehearsed “hello” in their heads 17 times before saying it out loud. TAPS exists to turn awkward silences into confident conversations - using humor, heart, and a dash of mythological magic.

TAPS is on a mission to turn awkward into awesome - using humor, heart, and a toolkit built from real-life fumbles.

Our Vision

A world where introverts don’t just survive meetings - they own the room. Where public speaking feels less like a horror film and more like a heroic comeback.

TAPS envisions a future where introvert feels No more hiding in the background. We’re building a world where voices rise, ideas land, and applause isn’t a surprise - it’s earned.

We Talk It Out

You share where you’re stuck, what you want, and what’s been getting in the way. I listen-not to fix, but to understand.

We Map It Out

Together, we sketch a game plan. No jargon, no pressure-just clear steps that feel doable and personal.
