Our Visionary
Hardeep Rai
Hardeep is the visionary behind the program. With over 30 years of success in financial services and more than a decade of working with over 2,000 individuals with disabilities, Hardeep’s life story is anything but ordinary.
He narrowly survived the 2004 Boxing Day Tsunami, is a devoted parent to a severely disabled child, and secured his dream job in just four days, working for and being mentored by BBC Dragons' Den star, James Caan.
Drawing from his own journey of triumphs and challenges, he and his team have developed an innovative approach that defies convention and seeks to transform individuals into compelling business propositions.
Our Approach
...Applying business pitching principles, to people...
Our program invites you to press ‘pause’ on your life and take a moment to re-evaluate your 'status quo' and your drivers. It then applies successful business pitching principles to people, remoulding them into compelling propositions whilst helping them to develop their unique storyboard and pitch book.

Testimonials
L. Davies. Participant.
“Since attending the Programme, I have gone from strength to strength. I finally landed two jobs. I’m a sight loss friendly church advisor for a Christian charity and I am an inclusion consultant for a disabled lead social enterprise.”
M. Elkins. Participant.
“What I can say about the kaleidoscope experience is that it has made me realise that having a disability is a advantage, not a disadvantage
Also, the experience has made me overlook and overcome my confidence and self-esteem which in itself is a huge advantage.
The path I have taken with Kaleidoscope has made me believe in myself And make me realise how I can sell myself to a future employer And other people have concern
All of the kaleidoscope team are brilliant, and they made everyone in the group realise that everybody has got hidden talents. This could be talents which you use every day and they are sitting literally at the end of your nose, but you don’t realise that they are there
I would highly recommend this course to anybody with a disability who is finding it difficult at work. Can’t rate it high enough.”
R.Bethel. Participant.
“I think today is the start of the rest of my life
I’ve never been in such an inviting space where we’re all encouraged to be brave and not afraid.
The world is a better place today because of this experience and for that I wish to thank you from the very inside of my heart
I was super happy when I met you albeit virtually today
Thank you Thank you .”

B. Hopkins. Participant.
“This programme helps to give people the confidence and the skills to succeed in different roles. Helping to encourage the interaction between different people, is something that needs to be encouraged, as there are many isolated people that need some real interaction with other people in a positive environment.”
H. Graham. DWP Observer.
“I found them thought provoking and potentially life changing. I don’t know how you did it, but you extracted so much from the attendees, and helped them re-model the information they gladly gave into something tangible they could take forward with them on their employment journey.
As I said after the first session I attended – I was ‘blown away’ at how you created a safe space for a group of complete strangers to share so much about themselves, and at how quickly they gelled together. It was a privilege to ‘observe’, and judging by the comments made by the participants, something that they have truly enjoyed and will benefit from.”
