By Dilip Saraf on 22 Feb 2015

Career Leadership

By Dilip Saraf on 25 May 2014

After working with over 6,000 clients from all ages (16-75 years), almost all levels (apprentices to CEOs) and from diverse disciplines (I have entrepreneurs, physicians, and neurosurgeons in my client pool) I have come to realize that nearly 90% of those coming to me let the career happen to them.

Some Favorite Quotes in the Context of My Work!

By Dilip Saraf on 07 Apr 2014

This blog is about some of my most favorite quotes and how they translate for me into actions that I take or to help my clients take.

Career Management and Wise Leadership!

By Dilip Saraf on 20 Nov 2013

During their long careers clients often come to me when their role is suddenly changed to a “lesser sounding” title and ask me to tell them how to deal with this “demotion.” In their case this change has happened involuntarily. Sometimes, too, different companies have titles that are inflated to begin with, and when changing jobs into a different industry that title is difficult to carry.
