The quality of our relationships is one of the most important aspects that often goes unnoticed in a world obsessed with metrics, productivity tools, and relentless ambition. Gurugram-based leadership coach, bestselling author, and winner of the WAHStory 40 Under 40 Award, Dhirendra Singh, believes that the gap between personal and professional growth stems from a lack of relationship development, both at work and at home. With over 22 years of experience as a leader and having trained more than 275,000 people in over 63 countries, Singh’s insights, outlined in his bestselling book “Rise in Every Relationship,” have already hit a milestone of 5,000+ Reader’s, demonstrating that performance, leadership, and well-being can be improved through better communication, emotional maturity, and clarity. As his book gains international attention and translations, including a soon-to-be-released Arabic version, the message Singh conveys is reaching a global audience: the key to true success lies in how we treat ourselves and others.
A Journey from Corporate Leadership to Purpose-Driven Entrepreneurship
The fast-paced world of corporate leadership was where Dhirendra Singh’s career began, as he served in various roles, including learning and development (L&D), sales, operations, and consulting. In the 20 years, he noticed that there was a repetitive problem of disconnection: as organizations were eager to spend a lot of money on performance strategies, they tended to forget about the human realities of relationships and communication. This void led to an ambitious shift to entrepreneurship, which is associated with such challenges as quitting the corporate job, dealing with unpredictability, and addressing doubts.
It did not stop Singh, who established a coaching practice on the notion that relationships are the key to success in life and business. This led him to the establishment of his coaching brand and the publication of a book titled “Rise in Every Relationship”, which encapsulates his philosophy of emotional clarity, accountability, and conscious communication. His work has now been available to a world audience, with clients and readers enjoying his pragmatic models and life experience. This move by Singh represents his fundamental belief: Sustainable success is not speed, but self-consciousness.
A Philosophy Rooted in Relationships as the Catalyst for Growth
The personal brand of Singh is based on the border of relationships, leadership, and performance, which provides a hybrid business model that combines high-touch engagement and scalable offerings. Its services involve one-on-one coaching, emotional intelligence and conscious communication building, corporate workshops, relationship-based leadership, keynotes, which inspire actionable change, and intellectual property, such as Rise in Every Relationship. Moreover, digital learning programs can be scaled, and thus his insights can reach a wide range of people.
The difference between Singh and his colleagues is that he tries to solve the issues instead of providing a superficial solution to the problem. The majority of issues in life and business are not strategy problems, he says, and are relationship problems. His style is supported by a solid background of corporate and coaching experience that integrates both the art of relationships and the application of leadership skills. This distinction has given him a reputation in the personal development industry of India, in which he has idols such as Dr. Gaur Gopal Das, Sandeep Maheshwari, and Ankur Warikoo who have made a distinct mark. However, the focus on the relationship-based growth by Singh is clear and specific, which creates a subtle approach appealing to both people and companies.
Inspiring Transformation Through Awareness and Better Conversations
Singh aims to change others by showing them that they do not need to reinvent themselves radically, but put in honest self-reflection and better communication. Instead, he says, you need to change how you relate, not change who you are. He equips people with the ability to follow awareness rather than reaction, clarity rather than conflict, and consistency rather than quick fixes through coaching insights in the real world and transformations of clients. His book Rise in Every Relationship is one of the foundations, providing practical means to enter personal and professional relationships and be more emotionally responsible.
To the future, Singh sees an ecosystem that is globally relevant based on relationship-based growth, in which leadership, performance, and well-being are elevated through mindful communication and emotional intelligence. He wishes to size this influence by increasing the number of books, formal learning initiatives, and organizational treatments that remake the way teams work and cultures prosper. According to him, healing and leadership go hand in hand when we learn to relate to having awareness and responsibility.
Dhirendra Singh can be a game-changer for people who want to improve their communication potential to become more effective leaders, learn to embrace emotional intelligence coaching, or discover their potential to change, both personally and professionally. Focusing on relationships first, he demonstrates that it is not only possible to have clarity, stronger teams, and meaningful success, but it is inevitable when we bring ourselves into any relationship.
