Can you define your dream job in under 60 seconds?
Hello, my name is Hardeep...
…and I am the creator of a CPD-certified 3-month online programme designed to help you recognise your true financial value and then find your dream job.
Why now? Because the world of work is changing, and many of us may need to re-evaluate what comes next.
Why me? Because I have lived a life less ordinary. I have:
- Built a colourful career spanning more than 32 years in financial services.
- Secured my dream job working with Dragons’ Den star, James Caan.
- Worked as a Growth Expert at Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses.
- Survived 6 buyouts in 13 years whilst working at a leading City hedge fund.
- Experienced the extraordinary journey of parenting a severely disabled child, Eshan.
- Been unfairly judged by many people following my son's birth.
- Narrowly escaped the Boxing Day Tsunami in 2004.
- Started my own business, www.Kaleidoscope.Group.
- Listened to more than 4,000 business investment pitches.
- Met over 2,100 individuals, across 65 disabilities, from 29 countries.
And through all of those experiences, my greatest learning has been simple:
If you can define exactly what you want, then anything is possible.
Welcome to Kaleidoscope Quest.

How I got my dream job with a Dragons' Den star
The Programme
In order to succeed, many of us have heard the phrase: “It’s not about what you know, it’s who you know.” Whilst that is certainly true, in my experience, it is only half of the equation. The other half is knowing how to intelligently articulate what you want, at the right moment in time.
Our programme will help you to do that. Together we will arrange the pieces to your puzzle and define your ideal job, understand your true earning potential and identify the companies you would most like to work for.
We will work with you to create a personalised six-month roadmap that will help to guide you on the actions that you need to take, to secure your dream role.
- The first six weeks of the programme are delivered online through weekly two-hour sessions with a maximum of ten participants.
- The second six weeks includes small group mentoring sessions to help you put your six-month roadmap into action.
By the end you will have a clear picture of where you want to go, what you have to offer and, perhaps most importantly, what you are truly worth.

Mentoring support
This is where the programme sets itself apart from anything else. Given the unconventional journey I have had over the last three decades, my advice is rarely to apply for a job.
Depending on who you target as your ideal companies to work for, we will help you to devise thoughtful, novel and bespoke approaches for them.
We will work closely with you to present you as a compelling proposition, creating a storyboard and pitch deck that demonstrates why we believe you are the right hire.
Finally, we will assist you with creating a mindset that will help to safeguard your mental health and keep you focused and realistic along your journey.
Meet Eshan, my inspiration
Many of us go through life, on autopilot and just accept where we are and what we have. We then complain we are unhappy despite us having consciously chosen the pathway we are on in the first place.
I was one of those people until the 18th November 2006, when my son Eshan was born with a severe disability. My destiny changed within a matter of minutes, and that was when I realised that time and money wait for no-one.
So, I finally set up my own business: www.Kaleidoscope.Group a company that supports people with disabilities to find their dream jobs or start their own businesses. Over 12 years, I personally met over 2,100+ individuals from 29 countries, spanning 65+ disabilities and discovered so many were remarkably talented and very capable.
However, they were not getting the opportunities they deserved because society was inadvertently making assumptions about what they could achieve. This meant that many of them lost the essence of who they were or what they wanted, in order to assimilate.
This programme was originally created with them in mind but has since evolved into supporting anyone who wants to rediscover their value, rebuild their confidence and redefine their future.
Case Study 2 : Bradley
IT Helpdesk
Bradley attended our programme and during one of the sessions, he revealed a genuine interest in helping individuals that were challenged with IT. Despite not having much experience, he was introduced to the Head of IT at Yusen Logistics, who offered him a job on their Helpdesk.
A little over a year later he received the following review:
"Bradley has been instrumental in leading the way. His passion for making the environment safe and organised is exemplary. Thank you for your continuous work - may your actions encourage others to follow in your footsteps."
