Srikumar Rao Speaking Topics
We all yearn for happiness. Everything we do – our quest for fame and fortune, for fulfilling relationships, our drive to build or change things – is in search of happiness.
We may briefly achieve it. But suddenly it seems to vanish and we scurry off, seeking something that will bring it back to us.
Srikumar Rao will explain what really leads to happiness … … how to greatly increase the pure joy life offers … … and how to change the way we think and feel to do so.
When things go wrong do you waste time in fruitless self-recrimination and blaming others?
Do you go on pointless guilt trips and make excuses you know are fatuous?
We are all tempted to; and the solution is to become resilient. To cultivate your ability to recover from adversity. It is a vital skill. Leadership programs talk about its importance and how to cultivate it.
In this extraordinary presentation, Srikumar Rao reveals the secret of extreme resilience. A quality that enables you to recover so fast that an outsider would not realize you were laid low at all. You forget it yourself.
Srikumar Rao has worked with thousands of executives and entrepreneurs all over the world. All felt stress.
Yet few realize there’s a single cause.
A yearning for the universe to behave the way you want.
But it won’t cooperate.
It’s possible – in fact necessary – for you to relinquish your need to control.
And in this presentation, Rao teaches you several strategies to do this.
Paradoxically, once you do so, the probability you’ll reach the outcome you want increases.
Whenever Srikumar Rao asks a group who wants to be an inspiring leader there’s always a sea of raised arms.
But wanting to be an inspiring leader is counter-productive.
Digging down, it simply reflects your desire to have others do what you want.
Let me explain why becoming an inspiring leader is not an aspirational goal – it’s a by-product.
You must be inspired by a grand vision. One that sees a greater good for a greater community. That calls you so strongly you’ll gladly devote a big chunk of your life to it.
When you are so inspired and communicate it, everyone you meet can’t help but be inspired by you. That is the secret to being an inspiring leader.
Contacts are essential.
Every businessman, stockbroker, lawyer, lobbyist and politician knows it. Countless books, programs and seminars purport to show you how to network.
But Srikumar Rao doesn’t think you should cultivate people because of their position and help they might give you.
He questions its ethics and honesty.
It’s not worth the enormous time you invest.
You need a system where you don’t build a network.
Where when you need help, the person with what you need appears.
What must you do to make this happen?
First, whatever you’re trying to accomplish must bring material and spiritual good to a larger community.
And you must learn to let go – relinquish the need to be in control.
When you have the right mix you’ll be amazed how locked doors mysteriously swing open. How – every time – the cavalry shows up to your rescue.
Invite Rao to share practical steps with your team.
