Unique Motivational Coaching - Scientific-cum-Spiritual...


You will probably agree that the world in general, and the corporate arena in particular, are plagued by two people-related factors :

1. People are not taking responsibility for themselves - for their health, their behaviour, their relationships, etc., thereby causing lot of avoidable conflicts, attrition, absentism, inter-personal problems, stress, stress-induced ailments, etc.

2. People are not fully bringing their heart to their work, are not enjoying what they do, and are often looking down upon work merely as a drudgery to earn livelihood and stay socio-economically afloat - which almost reduces work to a modern, high-tech slavery. When people don't enjoy their work, don't bring their hearts to it, and cannot focus on what they do, an organization's potentially most competitive edge gets blunted -products and technology alone are no substitute for it.

Essentially, this is a problem of MOTIVATION. Motivation comes from the root word 'motive'-a purposeful desire, intent, or more accurately a need willed for fulfillment. Without will, a desire remains a listless wish and does not translate into fulfilling activity.

Our oldest, eternal and strongest need is uninterrupted happiness, or joy. As souls, we are programmed to seek it. Everything we do is to find this durable joy. This relates to the highest need of Self-Actualization in Abraham Maslow's theory. The question is how to find it lastingly.

However, living in the world, we have other needs which are physical, mental, social, emotional, financial, etc. There need be no internal conflicts because of these diverse needs. By living in balance, by understanding their mutual dynamics, we can fulfill all these. The right course,however, is being aware of who we are, while seeking what we want to have.

Once we have spiritual Self-Awareness, a right blend of self-esteem, love, empathy, service, humility, courage, forgiveness, patience and perseverance etc. will become our natural attribute - we do not have to seek these things, but to just be aware of having always had them deep within us, and developing them through actually practicing them, both at homes and in workplaces. It is thus learning by doing.

The strange thing about Motivation is that no one can motivate anyone else ; we can inspire people to motivate themselves but eventually, all motivation is self-motivation. This is why, essentially, it has to be a spiritually-oriented training ; we all can progressively learn to plumb into a fathomless sea of endless motivation, peace, joy etc., hiding right within us - that is our soul. It is a journey we all have to take some day, and the sooner we do, the better off we are in life.

We offer a unique life-transforming Yoga-aided training to boost human motivation levels, Scientifically-yet-Spiritually, to optimize human wellness and engagement - thus improving the organizational bottom line. It therefore makes a strong business sense too, and is not mere altruism.

The training seamlessly blends latest scientific research in Psycho-Neuro-Immunology, Quantum Physics, Management Thinking etc with ageless spiritual wisdom of all faiths plus proven Yoga techniques. The approach will be experiential and highly inter-active. The faculty has a personal exposure to Yoga techniques for about 25 years, learning from a globally-respected spiritual organization that promotes practice of spirituality beyond all differences of dogma. His degree in engineering keeps him scientific, his interest in linguistics/writing poetry helps him in communicating his ideas effectively, while his over 3 decades' experience in the corporate world keeps him in touch with the realities out there.

We live in a highly inter-connected universe (uni+verse) ; unless all are happy, no one can be - well, maybe yes, for just some time, but not durably ! Life is a journey,not in Time and Space, but in consciousness and all sustainable growth is from inside out. Peace unto all !
