Ram Ramanathan shares his journey of going from a highly successful, autocratic corporate CEO who ruled by fear to an empathic listener who coaches people to become authentic leaders of change. Referencing ancient Vedic and Buddhist teachings, quantum physics, and ‘giants’ such as Jung, Bohm and Rogers, he describes the profile of the kind of leader who can successfully lead change today and in the future. Ram’s wisdom has profound application to our current world where coaching and mentoring can play such a major role in helping people, especially the young, become self-actualized.
