Coaching with Vijay Bajaj
Expert guidance for your path.
I work directly with a very small number of leaders and teams each year. One to one, in groups, and inside companies. It is highly selective, and it starts with a conversation.
Ways we can work together
Four ways in. One standard.
Whatever the format, the work is the same: get you clear on what matters, build a high performance mindset, give you back your hours, and put routines in place, so you live in work-life harmony and touch each area of life to the right level. The Flywheel of Fulfilment Framework, applied to your life and your business.
01
One-to-one coaching
For founders, CEOs and senior executives who are successful on paper and running on empty in private. We work through all 4 steps together, at the pace your diary allows, with me holding you to the moves you commit to.
- Private, confidential, direct
- Your Life Assessment as the starting point, then your MAPS profile during the early stages of the coaching
- Regular calls, plus access between them when it matters
Format: virtual, by video. A small number of places each year.
02
Group coaching
A handful of leaders working through the framework together. Not a big programme and not a webinar. Small enough that everyone gets my attention, big enough that you learn from how the others are solving the same problems you have.
- A small cohort, by application
- All 4 steps, with the tools worked live
- Peers who are carrying what you are carrying
Format: virtual, or in person at your offices.
03
In-company coaching for leaders and teams
I come into your business and coach your CEO, your senior leaders or your leadership team. The people who carry the most, and whose exhaustion costs the company most. The result is a team that gets more done in fewer hours, and leaders who have a life outside the building.
- Individual coaching for your senior people
- Team coaching: one framework, shared language, shared rhythms
- Half-day and full-day sessions, or a programme over months
Format: in person or virtual. Scoped to your business.
04
Speaking
A keynote or a working session at your conference, offsite or leadership retreat. Practical, personal, and built so people leave with something to do on Monday, not a feeling that fades by Tuesday.
- Keynotes and half-day masterclasses
- Excel at work without paying for it with the rest of your life
- Best speaker at London Business School, 3 years running
Format: in person or virtual. Speaking page.
How it starts
Three steps. The first one is free.
Take the Life Assessment
15 minutes. All 11 areas of your life. One honest number out of 100, and a wheel that shows where your life is uneven. Free and private.
Take the Life Assessment QuizBook a diagnosis call
45 minutes, one to one with me, $99. We go through your Life Assessment Report together, find where you are most committed to growing in the next 90 days and what is holding you back, and you leave with a plan to move forward with clarity and peace. Useful on its own, whether or not we go further.

If coaching is the right next step, I will say so. We agree the format that fits you or your company, and we start. If it is not the right step, I will tell you that too.
What the coaching is built on
The Flywheel of Fulfilment Framework™
Four steps, each one turning the next. I built it between 2012 and 2014, tested it on myself when I came back and built a new business from nothing, and have refined it with executives and entrepreneurs for 12 years. It is the system behind every coaching engagement.
- 1The 8 Levels of Clarity
- 2Ultimate Mindset Mastery For High Performance
- 3True Productivity To Excel At Work In Less Time
- 4Work-Life Harmony Routine Blueprints
Is this for you?
Who I work with, and who I do not.
This is for you if
- You run a business, lead a team or hold a senior role, and the success is real.
- So is the cost: evenings on the phone, a marriage running on fumes, health you keep promising to get to.
- You want the truth about where your life is uneven, and a system to fix it, not a pep talk.
- You will do the work between the calls.
This is not for you if
- You want a sounding board rather than a coach who holds you to your word.
- You are looking for a quick fix that asks nothing of you.
- You are not willing to take the Life Assessment and bring your number.
- You are already thriving in every area of your life. Enjoy it.
Who you are working with
I have sat where you are sitting.
I am a husband, a father, and an entrepreneur who built 3 market-leading businesses. In the first part of my career, I chased financial stability and then massive material success. The consequence was living in a cycle of overwork and overwhelm, and sacrificing my personal life.
Pushing through soon became part of my identity, and I felt restless whenever I wasn’t working. This affected my health, my relationships and my peace. My definition of success was: work hard now, enjoy later.
After my second exit, in 2012, I retired. I was financially free, with a beautiful lifestyle, looking forward to the freedom and a chance to enjoy the fruits of my labour. But after 3 months I felt empty, and after another 3 I fell into a depression. I had worked so hard that I had tied my identity to success and to having the trappings of success.
I spent the next 2 years predominantly dedicated to breathwork, meditation and reflection, and realised I didn’t want to quash my ambition, nor did I want to overwork. I wanted to find a third way of excelling at work and thriving in life, so I set about designing a system to achieve that. That is how the Flywheel of Fulfilment Framework™ was born.
Over the last 12 years, I have battle-tested, refined and proven that framework on myself, during which time I launched another business, which became the market leader in its first year, but this time I thrived at work and in life. I recently exited that business to pursue my deep purpose: to help high achievers avoid the traps I fell into.
I have worked with senior executives from Microsoft, Google, IBM, Disney and Deloitte, and with founders at every stage. The pattern is nearly always the same: successful on paper, exhausted in private, one area of life quietly paying for all the others. Coaching is where we change that.
Start here
It starts with a conversation.
Every engagement, whatever the format, begins the same way: your Life Assessment Report, 45 minutes with me, and a plan to move forward with clarity and peace. Then we decide, together, whether to go further.
