The course
Six ideas, each two thousand years old, each tested against a Monday morning.
An [EIGHT-WEEK] cohort for senior professionals who are performing well and paying for it privately.
What changes
-
See the reaction before it runs you.
Sakshi Bhav — the witness position, trained rather than discussed.
The gap between the thing that happens and the response it produces is not a metaphor. It is an interval, and it can be widened. The work is repetition under conditions that actually matter — a hostile meeting, a client who has changed their mind again — until noticing arrives before the reaction does.
-
Hold gain and loss with the same steadiness.
Sam Bhav, applied to negotiations, appraisals and losses that matter.
Equanimity is usually taught as protection against bad outcomes. It is harder, and more useful, applied to good ones. A win that lands too hard distorts the next decision as reliably as a loss does, and it is far less likely to be examined.
-
Decide under pressure without the pressure deciding.
Sthitaprajna as a working state, not an ideal.
Sthitaprajna describes steadiness of judgment, not absence of feeling. The distinction matters in a boardroom. The work is identifying the specific conditions under which your own judgment degrades — and what holds it when they arrive.
-
Act fully and release the outcome.
Nishkama Karma in its practical form. The part everyone quotes and no one operationalises.
Releasing the outcome is not lowering the standard. It is separating the quality of the action from the result it happens to produce, which is the only thing that keeps a person acting well through a run of bad results.
-
Locate your own dharma.
Through the Trimurti Profile assessment, mapped to how you actually work and lead.
The Trimurti Profile places you against three modes: creation, sustenance and dissolution. Most senior careers over-develop one of the three and quietly avoid another. The assessment names which, and what the avoidance has been costing.
-
Direct energy instead of managing it.
Shakti and Tantra treated as method, not mysticism.
In most executive training, energy is a scheduling problem. Treated properly it is a question of direction rather than conservation. The source material is specific about method, and the method survives translation.
How the [eight weeks] run
- Week 1Orientation, and the Trimurti Profile. The assessment is taken in the first week so that everything after it has somewhere to land.
- Week 2Sakshi Bhav. The witness position, trained.
- Week 3Sam Bhav. Gain and loss held with the same steadiness.
- Week 4Sthitaprajna. Judgment under pressure.
- Week 5Nishkama Karma. Full action, released outcome.
- Week 6Dharma. The profile read back against how you actually work and lead.
- Week 7Shakti. Energy directed rather than managed.
- Week 8Integration. The six taken together, against the specific pressure each participant came in with.
