CEOs gather for yogic insights
September 15, 2010 • Speaking
The Entreprenuers’ Orgranization invited me to conduct an all day workshop for them in Perth, Western Australia on August 18th. The topic I chose for this workshop was “Understanding the Mind”. The venue was the beautiful Matilda Bay conference room which overlooked the bay and Perth city behind it. The contents of the workshop were based on the teachings of my guru, Sivaya Subramuniyaswami, who clearly elucidated the workings of the mind in many of his books and talks.

Just before the workshop began a pod of dolphins swam right by the conference room.
Each participant was presented with a manual for the day long workshop.

Some testimonials from the workshop:
Many thanks Dandapani
The feedback I have received was overwhelmingly impressive – for many EO’ers, it was their best EO event ever attended ! So, thank you….!
Looking forward to spending time with you when you are next in Australia.
Kind regards
Michael Matthews, Learning Chair West Australia, Entrepreneurs’ Organization
“It isn’t everyday that you meet someone who has the grace and knowledge to introduce the concept that “you perhaps simply don’t know what you don’t know”. Apart from being enlightening I found Dandapani’s thinking practical, useful and applicable to my everyday life, which makes it so valuable.”
“Dandapani presents simple and practical ways to harness and balance your greatest business asset, your mind. This is one of the most memorable presentations I’ve been to in a long time.”
“I thought I knew a lot about breathing and my mind etc but this seminar has transformed my task focus, awareness and productivity at work and at home. I feel much more peaceful and effective at all the things I have to do with a small child and my business!”
