A coach is someone who tells you what you don't want to hear, who has you see what you don't want to see, so you can be who you have always known you could be.

Uncertain Future: NTUC Is With You
I had the opportunity to share my experience and journey through retrenchment, hopefully providing some insights and encouragement to those on this difficult journey. I was overwhelmed by the responses I received after the event and hope some of my points has been of help. Please remember you are not alone, if you reach out there is enough support around you and @NTUCPME Team has put together some useful resources.
Beyond the public holiday, the marquee NDP parade, and the dazzling fireworks, it has a deeply personal meaning for each of us. For me, it’s about remembering our founding fathers and generations of people who have worked tirelessly to give us this prosperous, safe, first-world country.
Raghunath Venkatappa, lovingly called Raghu by his peers, a loving husband, proud father of two wonderful children, a lifelong learner of what it means to lead with authenticity, he finds deep purpose in connecting with people on a human level.
Professionally he spent over two decades navigating the dynamic world of technology and transformation leadership, working with global teams to unearth human potential within forward-looking organizations.
He believe real leadership isn’t about control or charisma, it’s about clarity, care, and connection. Outside of work, he is involved actively in environmental and community causes, including beach clean-ups and sustainability initiatives, he believed that leadership goes beyond titles, it’s reflected in how we care for the world around us.
His coaching philosophy is grounded in authenticity, presence, and intentionality. Leadership, to Raghu, is less about position and more about awareness, alignment, and conscious action. This belief led him to create Core Shift a space for meaningful dialogue, courageous reflection, and deep transformation.
Whether you're a CXO navigating complexity or an individual seeking clarity and alignment, Raghu is here to support your journey, with presence, perspective, and purpose.
“If you're curious about unlocking your next level, not by adding more, but by peeling back to your core, I’d be honoured to walk that path with you.” ~ Raghu
