Your Coach ~ Venki Raman

Energy Leadership Executive Coach

As leading coach of PERC – Purposeful Energy and Resilience Coaching, my mission is “to kindle the Human Spirit and Energy through the application of the science of Positive Psychology”.

Helping teams and individuals augment their Productivity and Business by enhancing their mental energy and execute with clarity and conviction while being happy at work and home!

I have had a fabulous career in the Financial Services over 40 years where I held Senior Leadership positions at the Australia New Zealand Bank and then Executive positions at the Canadian Imperial Bank Of Commerce (CIBC), successfully retired as a Boarded Executive to pursue my dream of being an Energy Leadership, Well-Being and Happiness Coach. Throughout my career, I have been known for my energetic and positive leadership style.

Now as a banker turned Positive Psychologist, I am focusing my energies on giving back all I have learned through my extensive education and experience in coaching Advisors and Leaders. In my upcoming book on “Trust Energy“ I share practical processes that will help Advisors, Consultants, Brokerage professionals and their Leaders enhance their Trustworthiness, Productivity and Well-Being while significantly reducing Stress!
