Atul stated that 48% of the respondents had received a promotion since attending the academy. Of these, 89% agreed that the promotion was enabled by the skills they learned during the academy. Atul, who has been the lead coach for this Academy, since 2013 stated, "The academy enables individual and organizational success by enhancing the attendees' leadership skills; improving their ability to build high performance organizations and reducing toxic conflict in the workplace. These vital leadership competencies require self-awareness." Kalia, emphasized, "According to Harvard Business Review June 2018 edition, self-awareness is a meta-skill critical for sustainable success. Although self-awareness is a foundational requirement for individual and organizational success, it is a very rare trait according to another research mentioned in the HBR January 2018 edition."

The Management Consultant & coach explained, "The academy uses DISC assessment to trigger self awareness. DISC is a valid and robust behavioral assessment that enables the onset and acceleration of self awareness. Many organizations all over the world have successfully used DISC for over 30 years for developing their employees' management & leadership skills resulting in a culture of high performance, productivity & profitability."
