Discovering Self through The Mahabharata
The basic context of my work is placed in the Mahabharata. While the book Leadership Dharma provides a thought-provoking framework for understanding leadership and culture-building, Arjuna's toolkit enables use of game-play and non-verbal expression to explore your inner personas, role propensities, group's culture, and business strategy.

Leadership Dharma

"Are you an Arjuna in a Yudhishtra organization? Are your Bheema employees holding your Nakula organization to ransom?" These analogies from the eternal epic Mahabharatha by Raghu Ananthanarayanan is a thought provoking framework for solving problems of Role effectiveness and culture building. Meaningful for start ups and large organizations alike!
Ranjan is an entrepreneur, a natural Bhīma. His organisation is stagnating. “In doing what I am doing, what am I really doing? How am I part of the problem?” he asks. By using the Mahabharata as a mirror, and through an intense dialogue with his wife Sanam and his friend Prof. Anantha Saptaparni. Ranjan discovers the seeds of the other Paandava heroes that lie within him.
Like Arjuna he embarks on a quest: He identifies his heroic propensities, peers into his shadow self, unleashes his hidden potentials, recovers his sense of purpose, and the eternal spring of energy. Like the bow that must be drawn deeply, and aimed carefully to shoot a true arrow, Ranjan emerges with new reserves of strength connected to the wisdom that lies within him anchored in an expanded capacity to meet challenges and play effective roles.

Through the coaching we endeavor to awaken the persons dream and enable them to work with it in a way that is mindful. In doing this, the coachee will be able discover and awaken their own inner wisdom, as well as become capable of becoming the “best that they can be”.
