In this episode, we discuss how to find meaning and purpose behind where you are in your career. Learn ways you can release suffering within yourself and exercise wisdom and compassion towards yourself and others while navigating corporate life. Today on Create Magic At Work®: Why you will experience karmic patterns in the workplace and what to do about them. Ways to exercise self-compassion and forgiveness as a leader How the planetary energies can lead to a deeper understanding of self Why leaders benefit from going beyond EQ (emotional intelligence) In parallel to his twenty-year leadership career spanning the automotive, technology, and startup industries, Vish has studied and practiced yoga, meditation, and Ayurveda (mind-body medicine). He coaches and advises corporate leaders, blending Western management thinking with Eastern wisdom traditions, and speaks on a variety of topics at the intersection of business and personal development. Quote "In the yoga system, you practice these things in order to connect your inner wisdom. You also practice self-compassion. Can you be compassionate to yourself? And usually, when we're not compassionate to others, it's because of something in our own lives that we haven't learned to forgive ourselves for. If you can't forgive yourself for something, chances are you're not going to forgive somebody else for it." - Vish Chatterji Connect with Vish: https://www.headandheartinsights.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/vish-chatterji-b3b2681/ https://www.facebook.com/businesscasualyogi https://www.instagram.com/thebusinesscasualyogi/ The Business Casual Yogi: Take Charge of Your Body, Mind, and Career - Book Share Your Feedback Here Support the Show.
