Strengthening Responsible Professionals to Lead and Decide with Clarity — Without Losing Integrity or Personal Peace
I work with professionals, entrepreneurs, and executives who carry responsibility in high-pressure, politically complex environments — helping them reclaim confidence, strengthen boundaries, and respond strategically without emotional exhaustion.
What I Help Restore
Many capable professionals are not struggling with competence.
They are struggling with pressure — political distortion, subtle manipulation, ethical compromise, and the slow erosion of self-trust.
Over time, even strong individuals begin to question their leverage.
My work restores that leverage.
Through structured reflection, psychological clarity, and strategic insight, I help responsible individuals:
Recognise manipulation without becoming reactive.
Strengthen courage without becoming aggressive.
Hold boundaries without guilt.
Navigate fast-moving environments with steadiness.
The goal is not domination.
The goal is dignity, clarity, and sustainable influence.
When clarity returns, posture changes.
When posture changes, dynamics shift.
And whether they transform their current environment or move on with calm conviction — they sleep well at night.
Professional Background
I am the Founder & Chief Mentor of Know Your True Self® Research Academy (established in 2008), a platform dedicated to research, coaching practice, and human-centred development in the areas of emotional intelligence, sensitivity-informed leadership, and ethical clarity.
Alongside my coaching practice, I design and deliver clearly defined, time-bound learning and facilitation engagements for organisations and institutions in remote and hybrid formats.
My professional journey began with 10 years of service in the Indian Army, followed by entrepreneurial and leadership roles across civilian sectors. These experiences, combined with over 16 years of coaching practice, have shaped my understanding of human behaviour, responsibility, pressure, and resilience.
Today, I continue to work with individuals and organisations who value depth, clarity, and structured engagement over quick motivation.
Personal coaching remains my primary medium of work.

Expereinces of participants from My Workshops
The EFT workshop conducted by Mr. Mahesh was very effective and he has explained and demonstrated the deep concepts in a way that I can with confidence that I have found the most effective technique to manage my emotions, which many a time bothers me a lot.
The workshop was presented by Mr. Mahesh in a way that is equally engaging and deep. I was constantly engaged in others opinions and hurt myself, but After knowing the truth I actually started loving myself, and it feels great.
It’s a very good experience for me, to attend this workshop and I will love to tell others (friends and relatives) to attend it. It was presented by Mr. Mahesh Sharma in a very engaging and understanding way and I suggest and highly recommend that we should have this kind of workshop for senior citizens also.
Very impressive and practical. The techniques imparted are helpful. Nice effort by Mr. Mahesh Sharma to enlighten us in the beginning of our careers.
It is an excellent workshop delivered in an equally excellent and engaging way, from the point that whatever has been said by great saints like Budha etc, was scientifically and logically taught & understood with Mr. Mahesh Sharma, keeping in mind today’s most modern technical world and have been accepted by all participants. If practiced, no doubt, would improve the Excellency of human being.
Your workshop sharpens our skills which no doubt lies in every human being. Though I am little bit more aware of the facts and pleased to note that I am already on the right direction to best utilize my nature to the path which lead me nearer to the almighty God.
Excellent workshop. Such type of workshop to be organized in regular interval. This type of workshop should be of no less than three days. Faculty member, Mr. Mahesh Sharma of this program were really excellent. I have attended the first program of such type in my life. Really it is a great program.
I took great pleasure to sit through your talk during India Emerge Youth Summit 2013 held at VIT University, Vellore. I would like to express just how much I and the rest of the group enjoyed your presentation. I found that your talk was one of the most engaging that I have ever had the privilege to listen to, and found myself captivated and inspired by every word. I offer my thanks for taking the time to talk to us, and I hope to see you back with us at some time in the near future.

Mission
To touch lives meaningfully by creating reflective spaces where individuals can pause, turn inward, and navigate life’s complexity with clarity, courage, and emotional maturity.
Through structured coaching, dialogue, and shared learning, I seek to help people reconnect with their inner strength, make thoughtful decisions, and live with greater alignment between who they are and how they lead their lives.
My mission is not only to guide change — but to nurture awareness, responsibility, and inner steadiness in a fast-moving world.
Vision
I envision a world where individuals embrace their true nature without fear, where sensitivity is understood as strength, and where leadership — in families, communities, and organisations — is thoughtful, emotionally intelligent, and ethically grounded.
A world where people are not driven by noise or comparison, but by clarity, compassion, and conscious responsibility in alignment with their true selves.
Purpose
To contribute to a more humane and self-aware society by supporting individuals in living with courage, empathy, integrity, and purpose.
To help people cultivate inner abundance rather than outer validation, deepen their relationships, and act from awareness rather than impulse.
Ultimately, my purpose is to support the evolution of individuals who can lead themselves in alignment with their true selves — and therefore influence the world around them — with wisdom and heart.
Glad to be in touch with you
