Over the years, coaching conversations with CXOs, founders, and leaders have revealed something interesting.

The challenges hashtag#leaders bring into the room rarely begin with strategy. More often, they emerge from deeper questions around clarity, responsibility, and the inner stance from which leadership is practiced.

Those observations eventually led me to write Doing to Being: The Inner Journey of a Transformational Coach.

This book is not a manual on coaching techniques. Frameworks and competencies already exist in abundance. The book explores what often unfolds beyond technique.

It reflects on questions such as:
What lies beyond tools and methodologies in coaching?
How does a coach move from practicing coaching to embodying it?
How does hashtag#leadership evolve when awareness begins to guide action?
What happens when Coaching Quotient, Business Quotient, and Spiritual Quotient begin to integrate?

Many of these reflections also connect to a leadership lens I often discuss: hashtag#IQ2EQ2SQ.

Intelligence, emotional maturity, and deeper awareness must evolve together if leadership and coaching are to remain responsible and sustainable.

This book is an invitation to explore that inner journey.
If these reflections resonate with your own leadership or coaching practice, the book may offer a deeper exploration.

Coaching (as a process, not the coach as a person) comes into our lives when we are ready for transformation. Just as “the teacher appears when the student is ready.” *

Coach certification comes when we are ready to serve and support the transformation of others, as we continue deep self-work. Hence, coaching is a calling—not merely a profession.

Blessed are those who enter the real, deep and transformational space of coaching - as a coach, or coachee or even a sponsoring organisation.

* A Guru manifests even when the student is not ready. That is Divine Grace. I have experienced it.

Hence…. Doing to Being, IQ2EQ2SQ, I2We2He

“It is a bit sad for the U.S. industry, but it might be the right thing for the company.”

This observation raises a fundamental leadership question: what does “the right thing” really mean—and for whom?

Is it what is best for the company, shareholders and customers? Or must leaders also consider employees, suppliers, the industry, local communities and the country?

GM is increasing profits while selling fewer vehicles, even as Toyota closes in on a century-old symbol of American industrial leadership. From a corporate perspective, that may reflect sound strategic discipline. From a national or industry perspective, the implications may be less reassuring. (WSJ⁠)

Leadership is often about navigating these competing responsibilities. The real test is not simply choosing one stakeholder over another, but finding a path where the company remains competitive without weakening the ecosystem that sustains it.

Perhaps the question every leader must ask is:

Are we optimising the enterprise—or strengthening the larger system of which it is a part?

A simple yet powerful initiative. It makes one wonder: how much waste will each of us leave behind on this planet at the end of our earthly sojourn?

We must find ways to eliminate single-use plastics, reduce polluting packaging, and move away from harmful fertilisers, pesticides and other non-biodegradable or non-recyclable materials.

The goal must be a truly circular economy—where everything we use can be safely reused, recycled or returned to the earth.

Let us leave behind a safer, cleaner planet for generations to come. 🌏🌱

An important conversation about workplace culture—and perhaps society at large.

Why have we begun to treat cuss words as a necessary expression of style, camaraderie or aggression? Does strong emotion require offensive language to sound authentic?

I have neither used such language nor tolerated it. People around me understood and respected that boundary.

Words are never neutral. They carry energy, shape the emotional climate and reveal something about the person—and the culture—using them. Even when no offence is intended, repeated use can normalize disrespect and make others feel uncomfortable or unsafe.

During recent public protests, too, we witnessed deeply abusive language directed at political leaders. Whatever our disagreements, what does such language say about our culture and values?

Freedom of expression matters. So does responsibility in expression. Perhaps the real test of maturity is whether we can communicate anger, frustration and dissent forcefully—without losing our dignity or diminishing another’s.

Clean and respectful language is not merely about etiquette. It is integral to the culture and collective consciousness we must build on our journey towards a Viksit Bharat.

@RegalUnlimited Choose the journey. Doing to being a coach.

[Subash CV @subashcv]

What does it mean to you? Check out what we all have to say about our own freedom.

I feel most free when I choose Presence over performance—letting go of the need to "Do" and simply "Being" (beyond 'fully present'), in all situations.

That, for me, is the journey from #Doing2Being.

If you are not a creator, you are a consumer.

You are not an artist if you are depending on tech to create. It is not only unethical, but also unfair to the artist in you.

The same is applicable to what you do professionally.

As a coach, mentor, consultant, therapist, or healer. Tap into the higher consciousness (Hi C), beyond the science, process or logic…

Create something original. Don't copy/paste either.

Elevate your work to the realm of art.

Independence is at the core of life after 60.

It starts with physical health, and wellness at all levels - mental, emotional, social & spiritual.

At the core it is being regal@60. And that comes from becoming selfless.

Silver economy is an opportunity for society & country. But we should lose it as we are losing demographic dividend.

@RegalUnlimited One day to go. We begin tomorrow morning in Colombo. If this post has been sitting with you, this is the moment. 📞 [phone]

With gratitude to every guru, coach, mentor and leader who has illuminated our path—not by creating dependency, but by helping us discover the light within.

"The greatest guru is one who gradually becomes redundant, empowering us to find our own answers and walk our own path."

May we honour our gurus by becoming a source of wisdom, selfless love and light for others.

Happy Guru Purnima!

Why do we run a Book Club for Regal alumni coaches?

Because great coaches don’t just collect certifications. They cultivate themselves.

Coaching is not a destination reached with an ICF credential. It is a lifelong journey of learning, reflection, and expanding consciousness.

Every book has the potential to become a coach. Every conversation around it deepens our presence. Every insight quietly shapes who we are before it shapes what we do.

An interesting article in The Economic Times speaks about books as a form of healing—how stories can become a balm for the soul. Perhaps that’s true for coaches too. Reading doesn’t merely add knowledge; it nurtures wisdom, empathy, perspective, and the inner stillness from which transformational coaching emerges.

At Regal Unlimited, our Book Club isn’t another learning activity. It’s part of our commitment to lifelong development as coaches and leaders. A space to think together, question deeply, and continue the journey from Doing to Being.

Because the quality of our coaching will never exceed the quality of our own inner growth.

Book, as a treatment

What is one book that has transformed not just the way you think—but the way you are?

“Most coaching training teaches you what to do — this book asks who you need to become. Doing to Being shows how transformational coaching does not begin with better technique, but with a deeper inner journey that changes how a coach shows up, listens, and holds space for real change. For any coach who senses there is more available in their work than their training gave them, this is the next step.”

O brother, where art thou? George Clooney's "The Odyssey" remains the best! @livemint @RajaSen

Joseph Campbell discusses the Hero’s Journey in The Odyssey, illustrating how it outlines the hero’s path through challenges, transformations, sacred unions, encounters with the Father, and eventual return.

His point? Regardless of the story, everyone encounters this enduring cycle.
