Sumit Singla (he/him/they)'s Linkedin Analytics

I support clients in engaging, energizing, and elevating their people. The last 18+ years of work have been a fun ride with lots of opportunities to make a positive impact. Much of that time has been in the corporate world heading to client locations with the stereotypical business suit, business bag, and a 'to-go' soy cappuchino. I thought I was living the dream - getting to talk to senior leaders across the world, solving their problems, learning loads in the process, and enjoying every minute. But of course, a little over 2.5 years ago, the freelance bug bit and I decided to quit full-time employment and go out into the big bad world on my own. (Oh, what was I thinking!) Starting off with solutions around organization design and leadership development, what sparked an interesting journey was a chance meeting with a client who wanted me to facilitate a program on gender inclusion (ME! The Indian equivalent of a straight white male. What the heck!) Needless to say, the program went fantastically well and when a female participant appreciated me for treating a sensitive topic with respect, I was over the moon. I pride myself on being a responsible ally and a supporting voice, always willing to learn more. Since then, I've thoroughly enjoyed working on culture and engagement, and creating employee experiences that matter. I love to experiment and go beyond the documented 'best practices' in the quest to help clients succeed. It is satisfying to see one's work making a positive difference to people's lives and one of the joys I've recently discovered is working with nonprofits and charities, in addition to corporate work. Some of my specialties include coaching, competency development, process/policy development, performance management, and end-to-end HR transformation. (I'm also a livewire at parties and social events, and am currently rated as the best father in the world by my 4 year old daughter.) I've been fortunate to work with stakeholders from all over the world in areas that I love. Ultimately, organizations are about people and if you realize that unlocking people's potential can help them succeed and YOU succeed, we are on the same page. In addition, I'm a regular speaker at various forums and an aspiring writer too. (Currently, very excited about an upcoming book project and also working on various copywriting assignments for blogs and articles) So, if you want someone to handle people-related challenges with pace and certainty, let's talk over (real or virtual) coffee.
