Description: Satyendra (Saty) Kumar is the founder and CEO of SATYSSPARKS, a strengths coaching business in India. Saty’s business develops strengths and career guidance tools to make it easier to introduce and apply strengths for students and professor. He has seen many students thrive after receiving coaching around their strengths. He says students who learn their Top 5 start to understand how to prepare for the career they have chosen, or even how to choose their coursework and major to better suit their strengths. Saty is a retired Indian army officer who began working as a part-time faculty member at Christ University, Bangalore and running his own strengths coaching company after he retired. He read the book Strengths-Based Leadership, discovered his CliftonStrengths, and realized he’s been using his strengths throughout his childhood and whole life, but didn’t have words for it. He went through Gallup’s strengths coaching certification course and started coaching his university students and other professors around strengths.
