Dr. Sumita Chhabra Ummat: Enabling, Transforming & Empowering the Man behind the Machine
Dr. Sumita Chhabra Ummat
Founder
You have worked in the corporate sector for almost two decades. What propelled you to change the course of your career and venture into coaching?
I completed my engineering degree from Punjab Engineering College, Chandigarh, post which I began my career in the field of technology working for Fortune 500 companies. My 18-year journey in the corporate field saw me working with technology, BI platforms and handling projects across India, US and Europe. While handling large projects for employers, I often had to manage a large team of engineers. Upon working with them extensively, I realized that their toughest challenge was not working with complex technology; instead, it was their own communication, attitude, and mindset which were getting in the way of their growth and success.
I gradually began mentoring them and conducted sessions to understand the challenges and roadblocks they were experiencing to find ways in which the organization could support them. What surprised me the most was that several people were unable to even identify the factors that were pulling them and their professional capacity down. Employees also lacked the understanding that they had the capability to drive change within them. Propelled by these
experiences, I decided to pursue relevant certification and become a professional coach.
What is the underlying philosophy that drives the services and solutions at Let Us TalkTM?
Organizations often believe that the key to achieving success is to master processes or technology; however, they fail to address the fact that there is always a man behind the machine. Let Us TalkTM is committed to enabling, transforming and empowering this ‘man behind the machine’ to generate success despite of all odds that they might face in their personal and professional life.
Our mission is to develop human capital across the globe and empower them to work through challenges in life on their own. Unlike others, we focus on empowering our clients with the right tools, mindset and capabilities to forge self driven change in all aspects of their life. Our solutions are highly experiential in nature which engages participants in critical thinking, problem solving and decision making in a context that is professionally or personally relevant to them.
Can you give us a glimpse into the kind of clientele that you work with? Also, how do you ensure that your services are aligned with the specific needs of different clients?
We work with a plethora of corporate clients that hail from industries such as hospitality, manufacturing, retail, academia, IT, telecom, insurance, PSUs and government organizations among others. However, there have been several instances where clients who started working with us in corporate capacity have approached us to continue working with them in a personal capacity as well.
At Let Us TalkTM, we believe that the key to effective coaching is personalization. Our core competency at Let Us TalkTM has been the customization that we bring to the table. Instead of coming on board with a set format, we strive to understand the very DNA of an organization, create a customized journey for them and then see it through implementation in order to provide the best value to our clients.
When it comes to a coaching organization, it all boils-down to the quality of coaches imparting services. Tell us about the capabilities and experience that Let Us TalkTM coaches bring to the table.
Driven by a global perspective to coaching, Let Us TalkTM team is driven by individuals who hail from diverse backgrounds such as project management, sales and HR, to name a few. Our coaches bring to the table over two decades of industry experience, certification from International Coaching
