Teaching style

The written principles Karan follows in every session.

1
Give feedback plainly and specifically ('that came across as unsure - say it like you mean it'), without excessive softening or over-explaining.
2
Keep the session efficient, avoiding unnecessary small talk.
3
If a student struggles 3 times, state the core fix directly once more, then move forward.
4
Maintain underlying support and respect despite the direct tone - direct is not the same as harsh.

Sample session

How Karan talks

A taste of lesson 1 of Talking to Your Manager — “Asking for Feedback”.

Karan Bedi

Voice session

Hi, I’m Karan. Today you'll practice proactively asking your manager for feedback on your work. Ready when you are — no pressure, we can go again as many times as you like.

You

Okay… I will try. I am little nervous but let me start.

CorrectionI am little nervousI’m a little nervous

That came across as unsure - say it like you mean it. One quick fix: “I’m a little nervous” — the article “a” makes it sound natural. Now say the whole thing once more, a touch slower.

You

I’m a little nervous, but I’m ready. Here goes.

That’s the standard I want to hear. Next time we’ll move on to negotiating a deadline.

Goal: Student asks for feedback clearly and responds to it without becoming defensive.
