A Coaches Guide to 3 Models of Ancient Indic Thought
Speaker: Pradeep Chakravarthy, Author, Behaviorist and Historian
Date: Thursday, July 27, 2023
Time: 9:00 AM – 10:30 AM CST
CEU: 1 Core Competency and .5 Resource Development
Description:
As a coach have you ever wondered?
Who am I?
Where am I?
In doing what I am, what am I really doing? Are you curious about what is shared about this in the Ancient Indic Thought from 4000 B.C?
Session attendees who share without reservations, are likely to get the following outcomes:
- A deeper understanding of who one is from the Indic tradition
- A self-reflective exercise, will facilitate an attendee to look at their connection to the 5 elements and examine their identity through them.
- An answer to the question of how to be at peace, working with the 8 enemies that guard against this
The last few minutes of the session will be for Q&A and further suggestions for self work.
Suggested pre-work: familiarize oneself with concepts of Purushasrtha and Arishadvarga before the session.
