Description
(The downloadable resource section has audio recordings of the entire course. It is narrated by American professional voice-over artist, AJ Carter. )
Today conversations in HR and elsewhere border on AI and its importance, but I contend that mindfulness plays an even greater significance. Why? Because people drive machines, not the other way round.
All the technological marvels, including AI, are man’s creation. So, invest in human intelligence, myriad positive implications of AI will follow.
But how do you invest in humans and their intelligence? You do it by unlocking their creativity. Which can be brought about through the practice of "mindfulness leadership". Understand the implications and positive effects of mindfulness at a personal level and at the workplace.
Learn how to gauge your own motivations--in life and career-- through the practice of "shamatha" and "Vipassana meditation". Learn about your "life's bigger agendas and goals" that can come to the fore at one of those what I call "Vipassana moments". Also, recognize that by the following mindfulness, we can better our family lives too. How? Mindfulness deems us more lovable and compassionate. When we empathize with others, we understand their "unique situations, obstacles, and difficulties". It helps us develop tolerance and patience.
My own reading of stress in our executives and the role of "Mindfulness" in countering discords have helped me create this effective course on happiness, creativity, and leadership.

My writings for children, Pinto, a novel series in my native Nepali dialect, has sold 40,000 copies.

I also regularly receive publications in The Kathmandu Post, Annanote, Kathmandu Tribune, and GlobalNepalipatra. Some of my interviews have been featured in EKantipur and The Kathmandu Post, with a following for my work and authorship. Finally, the non-fiction book I drafted, Buddha in the making, a hardcover, was published in India.
In 2019, as a coach, I was featured on the Marshall Goldsmith coach spotlight. I was responsible for training managers and a CEO in-person. Additionally, I had over 5,000 students follow my online courses; they all wanted to learn skills from me. As a leader at a successful company, my approach follows that of a leader-coach.
