Srikumar Rao Speaking Topics

  • How To Be Happy

    We all yearn for happiness. Everything we do – our quest for fame and fortune, for fulfilling relationships, our drive to build or change things – is in search of happiness.

    We may briefly achieve it. But suddenly it seems to vanish and we scurry off, seeking something that will bring it back to us.

    Srikumar Rao will explain what really leads to happiness … … how to greatly increase the pure joy life offers … … and how to change the way we think and feel to do so.

  • How To Be Resilient

    When things go wrong do you waste time in fruitless self-recrimination and blaming others?

    Do you go on pointless guilt trips and make excuses you know are fatuous?

    We are all tempted to; and the solution is to become resilient. To cultivate your ability to recover from adversity. It is a vital skill. Leadership programs talk about its importance and how to cultivate it.

    In this extraordinary presentation, Srikumar Rao reveals the secret of extreme resilience. A quality that enables you to recover so fast that an outsider would not realize you were laid low at all. You forget it yourself.
