Haresh is one of the most authentic, caring and generous genuinely caring people I know. On top of that human factor, he is also the ultimate professional. I recently took a course with him - on PQ. Positive Intelligence Quotient, an extremely powerful personal development system, researched and developed by Shirzad Chamine. The program is easy to follow through an app. There is a whole ecosystem which facilitates learning. Haresh’s attention to detail, his discipline and his thorough follow up was the icing on the cake. I strongly recommend PQ. I have learned a lot and it has already made an impact on my daily life. I have designed and developed several courses in my 30 years at P&G, and been fortunate to receive a lot of world class training. PQ would be in my top five.

The PQ intelligence course was beyond my expectations. I highly recommend taking this course if you want to transform your life in all aspects. It was especially great because it was led by an amazing coach, Haresh Daswani. Thank you for giving me the tools to reshape my life and experiences.

Having worked with Haresh for 14+ years at Randstad, I was delighted to attend his “Stress Less and Achieve More-PQ” program. Part of the secret sauce in the program has to do with understanding when your mind is serving you versus when it is sabotaging you. This appreciation has tremendous positive implications in many areas of work and life including stress reduction, better ability to prioritize what truly matters, improved relationships, and so much more.

I have attended many programs that fizzled away in no time, and I can vouch for the lasting impact of this program with the follow-through tools that are an integral part of this program.

True to his nature of bringing people together, Haresh creates a safe and fun environment for participants in this program to interact with and learn from one another. Please reach out to Haresh! He has the gift that will keep on giving!!  I highly recommend his “Stress Less - Achieve More-PQ” program.

I had the pleasure of working with Haresh over a 6-week PQ program where he coached a group of us on the key insights and learnings of PQ. Haresh is a thoughtful and engaging coach. He is an excellent listener, offering insights and learnings when necessary, which is much required for anyone on a self-discovery/transformational journey. He made the sessions fun and engaging, while ensuring we got what we sought out from the program.

I recommend Haresh as a PQ coach and also recommend the PQ program for anyone looking for a bit of self-discovery and practical applications at work, in relationships, friendships, and life in general.

Haresh has incredible people skills and everyone instantly feels comfortable and connected to him and his energy. I can see why he shifted to being a life and career coach as he has a natural and innate passion and ability to connect with people and he truly cares.

Most recently I completed a course with him; "Stress Less And Achieve More". This could not have come at a better time in my life and career, having just moved back into a leadership role and taking on additional responsibilities. The course really gave me a lot of further insight into myself, as a person, and additional tools in my toolbox, personally, and professionally, to handle life's stresses. I am forever grateful to Haresh for telling me about this course, inviting me, and facilitating it in such a way that made us all feel very comfortable and safe to be open and honest, and sharing personal details about ourselves and our lives, as a group.

I highly recommend Haresh, his services, and guidance to anyone who is looking for guidance in their career and/or life! Thank you, Haresh!

As a veteran of programs on personal and spiritual growth, “Stress Less and Achieve More” couldn’t have come for me at a better time as I charter new waters in my life and career.

Needing more courage, less worry and less self-doubt, this program spins negativity and self put-down on its head. Learn instead how to nurture the creative, right side of your brain that lessens the monkey chatter and how to deal more graciously when stuff happens and you get a lump in your throat, a tightness in your chest and you feel a melt-down coming on. This course hands you the tools to turn around those episodes and even to mine the gold in those moments. You want to get on this river to sage-land. Led by Haresh with humor and committed authenticity, It is a journey filled with compassion, love and zen. It is a gym for your body, mind and soul that continues after the course is over and will stand you in good stead for the rest of your life.

I've had the pleasure of working and collaborating with Haresh in his Leadership and Coaching program which was a deeply beneficial and life-changing experience. 

A true professional, Haresh marries his real-world leadership experience and mastery of the coaching model he follows. It's clear that Haresh practices what he teaches in his day-to-day life and embodies the values that his program promotes. 

I cannot champion Haresh and his Coaching program enough and strongly encourage anyone to partner with him.

Haresh is a phenomenal mentor and life coach. He has the skills to ask appropriate questions and will listen to your responses patiently. In this process, one gains clarity of thought, which is instrumental in understanding their mind.

I very highly recommend the Positive Intelligence program which Haresh facilitates. Via this program, he beautifully helped me understand the strategies I may want to practice in order to succeed in my personal and professional life.

To sum up Haresh's ability in one line -- He won't fish for you but will facilitate the art of fishing for you.

 When I heard about Haresh's "Stress Less And Achieve More" Program, it immediately appealed to me since I am always worried by nature, stressed, and often see the negative and not the positive.

Having just completed the program, I am practicing new tools and techniques that are allowing me to deal with potentially stressful life and work situations in a much more positive way and with better outcomes. The longer term potential impact of these tools is life changing in many areas of work and life, including relationships at work and home, my own productivity, and most importantly, my overall sense of well-being and calmness.

Thank you Haresh for bringing this program to my life. Haresh has incredible people skills, and because of his calmness and energy, he is the perfect coach-facilitator for this program - not everyone could guide people as Haresh has done for the last six weeks. I highly recommend Haresh's program services and guidance to anyone looking for more in in their career or life. I greatly appreciate all you have done for me, Haresh.

Haresh was my mentor when I took the PQ Positive Intelligence Quotient course.

The insight that I earned was surprisingly different from the reasons that I took the course. While this was partly due to my own work, credit has to go to Haresh’s professionalism, experience, training as a coach, and guidance.

But the most important skill Haresh has is deep empathy. He never judged, he just listened well. And remembered conversations as if they were recorded. He focused on who I was, and what I said I needed and gave me a higher level of language to navigate my interior world.

The Positive Intelligence course paid for itself; I generated fresh ideas that protected my clients from the competition. And it empowered me to better serve my business partners and my community.

Thank you, Haresh. You made a difference.
