Valsakumar P. Menon (VP) is an entrepreneur and leadership enabler focused on empowering individuals and organizations through Coach Skills Training (CST), a training and coaching organization he founded in 2013.
With over two decades of corporate experience, VP transitioned into entrepreneurship in 2013 and today focuses on building platforms, programs, and partnerships that help people bring out the best in themselves and organizations prepare for the future. Through CST’s work, individuals are supported to grow in self-awareness, leadership capability, and confidence, enabling them to achieve meaningful personal and professional goals.
At an organizational level, CST partners with companies on leadership development, innovation, strategy, and organizational transformation, helping them build the mindset, capability, and readiness required to thrive in an increasingly complex and fast-changing environment.
VP works closely with trainers, coaches, facilitators, and leadership teams to shape direction and create high-quality, impactful learning experiences that drive sustainable change. While CST is based in Dubai, UAE, it serves clients across the Middle East and operates through subsidiaries in India and Canada.
His work is guided by a simple belief: that growth and change are always possible, regardless of where one starts. This belief is captured well in a quote he resonates deeply with:
“Though no one can go back and make a brand-new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand-new ending.” – Carl Bard
