Hi, I’m Coach Ajay
Leadership and Executive Presence Coaching for Engineers and Technical Experts
Tech is Easy.
People - not so much.
Lets Work on the People Part Together.
You've mastered the technical side. But the room still doesn't follow your lead.
→ Stop being the smartest person no one listens to.
→ Say the hard thing clearly — without the team shutting down.
→ Get the recognition you and your work deserve.
30 minutes. No pitch. No commitment. Just clarity.
Clients who did the work. In their own words.

If this sounds like you — you're exactly who I coach.
You're excellent at what you do. Nobody questions that. But......
Your Expert Identity
You're excellent at what you do. Nobody questions that. But......
Invisible. Overlooked. Frustrated.
Your idea gets ignored — someone else says it and the room lights up
Passed Over. Again.
You’ve watched a promotion go to someone you outperformed.
Nobody’s Really Following
You’ve followed up three times on something that should have been actioned once.
Excluded from Conversations
You have plenty to say in the senior room, but nobody thinks to ask you.
Wrong GAP Diagnosed
You’re not underperforming. You’re just not getting noticed.
Your Leader Identity
Same expertise. Completely different impact.
Sought After. Trusted. Relied On
I get asked ask for my input before I offer it. Your guidance becomes the one people rely on.
Once Voice. Done
You say it once - the team moves.
Credit Lands Right
Your ideas land the first time. Actioned and Credited to you.
Promotions come to you
Conversations start happening around you. Never excluded, always included.
Finally Authentically You
You didn’t become someone else. You start leading with Humanity and Presence.
30 minutes. No pitch. No commitment.
You deserve to be seen, heard and taken seriously.
One Conversation. 30 minutes.
I spent 30 years watching technical experts fail at leadership.
I wanted to know why.
I've watched technically brilliant people get passed over — not because they lacked skill, but because nobody helped them develop the human side of leadership.
That gap is what NowHuman was built to close.
I'm Ajay Chikermane. iPEC Certified Professional Coach.
I bring the same rigour to your leadership that you bring to your technical work.
Let’s find out if we are the right fit for each other.
This work isn't for everyone.
Are you up for the challenge?
Coaching with NowHuman is direct, honest, and sometimes uncomfortable.
It's also one of the most clarifying things you'll do as a leader. If you're ready to do the work — here's what that looks like.
-
Not wrong about your technical expertise. Wrong about what's been holding you back. The most powerful shifts happen when you're willing to consider that there's a version of you that leads more effectively — and that you haven't met that person yet.
-
This isn't a podcast you half-listen to. Your sessions are your time. Protected, focused, and free from interruptions. The quality of what happens in the room depends entirely on what you bring into it.
-
I'm your navigator, not your driver. I'll challenge you, equip you, and hold you accountable — but I can't want this more than you do. The insights are mine to surface. The action is yours to take.
-
The coaching process only works at the level of honesty you bring to it. Telling me what you think I want to hear dilutes everything. Say what's real. That's where the work actually starts.
-
One conversation that shifts how you see yourself is worth more than ten that confirm what you already know. You're not here to clock time. You're here to change something.
Signature Coaching Packages
1:1 Private Coaching
Every leader's journey is different. So is every session.
You bring the topic. We dig into the energy behind it — past the surface, into what's actually driving the situation.
Every session ends with three things: clarity on what's really going on, accountability to what you've already committed to, and one concrete action that moves you forward before we speak again.
This is coaching that meets you exactly where you are.
The Self-Aware Leader
You can't lead others clearly until you see yourself clearly.
Most leadership programmes skip this part.
They teach you what to do differently without ever asking why you keep doing what you do. This program starts at the root.
NowHuman Elements
The NowHuman Elements Program is the most comprehensive coaching journey Coach Ajay offers.
It moves through every dimension of who you are as a leader — from the beliefs driving your behaviour, to the relationships defining your influence, to the legacy you're building whether you're thinking about it yet or not.
Ready to start?
I work with a small number of clients at a time. That's intentional — the work requires full attention, not a full calendar.
If you've read this far, something landed. Don't let that feeling sit too long.
