Testimonials
Hundreds of clients mentored for their best-fit career pathways. Read what some of them say about us and our services.
Being a Career Counselor first, despite my best abilities to guide and counsel for the right fit to the aspirants, I always felt a Void in the overall process for Filtration, Iterations, follow ups and consistency ; the Step Zero Counselling Framework from SN Mentoring, made a 360 degree difference to my approach to counselling. This enables me to be more process oriented, systematic, Data Driven and allows me to provide an optimum solution to the beneficiaries.... Hey Fellow Changemakers in the counselling and career building space, this is a highly recommended program and module, as it will create a positive difference and an everlasting impact on your cases.... Thanks Saurabh Nanda for Introducing me to your academy and the Program...lmmensely Grateful
I had worked with SN Mentoring; they taught and guided me deeply about the Career and Education Counselling process. They themselves are the best to have counselling from and great to get the guidance if you are seeking to start your practice. SN Mentoring is a place where people get the chance to shadow, learn from a course, get some tools and a certificate of completion at the end. Wonderful experience to learn from them and a huge thanks as I have started my own counselling sessions now.
Having seen Saurabh Nanda sir guide thousands of students with his immense knowledge and experience to help them choose their best fit career, it was just a matter of time that he would establish the Step Zero Counseling Framework from the Clarity Academy which is definitely the need of the hour! This will help all in the Education sphere to utilise his best practices to empower our students to choose the right path at the right time!
Empathy has always been a missing touch in the career counselling which I found in SN Mentoring and SN career counselling academy. As we are running a school in a rural set up. Our major concern on this subject was to address context as well as global trends. After a few fiascos I met Saurabh through a friend who had known about him since his Japan visit. In his lecture we all got connected to his Step Zero counselling and our journey on career enlightenment started. Afterwards my son Kartikay has been enrolled with SN Mentoring, a clarity of vision is evident now. As a parent and educator I am grateful and looking forward to having more insightful guidance from SN career counselling academy.
I went through an amazing transformation when I joined SN Career Counselling Academy. And I can't tell you how much the counselling sessions were endearing and therapeutic. The comprehensiveness of this program has really proven to be absolutely fruitful in my life and have helped me in achieving my goals and aspirations. I highly recommend SN Career Counseling to all you folks, if you wish to streamline your dreams into definite paths of success.
SN Mentoring led by Saurabh Nanda is a one stop platform for all career related queries. His approach towards crafting the career pathway with both Psychometric intervention and qualitative inferences makes the impact far more deeper and insightful. It was such a pleasure to attend his sessions on collaborations and innovations. In todays time when most of the professionals are working in their silos, the way he shared doable models that we all can so beautifully collaborate and grow was remarkable. My best wishes to his organization and I know personally that it's a delight for any student to be mentored by counsellor like him. My best wishes to him for all his future endeavours and I certainly look forward to some deep collaborations in future with SN Mentoring.
The integrity of Career Counseling is always in the happiness of students,l came across someone particularly passionate about this. Saurabh and his organisation is dedicated to providing that holistic environment for the students and guide them to take the best decisions for their careers. The professional approach also leads to secure the decisions rather than getting them influenced by other factors. When we come across the word Mentor we often get confused but Saurabh's mentorship is student centric and involves the interaction between all the other decision makers. His understanding of Counseling and its processes is methodical and at the same time practical.
