Life has so much potential and yet in our everyday lives, we seem to make so little of it. No matter how much money we make we are in perennial scarcity, despite labor saving devices we have no time to enjoy life and with all the social media the world is a lonelier place. Param Srikantia, a professor at the Baldwin Wallace University’s School of Business in Ohio, speaks to the heart of these contradictions and explores how the transformation of consciousness can unleash the deeply hidden potential of individuals in their professional and personal lives. His talk seeks to offer a fundamental shift in our consciousness to awaken us to a profound appreciation of life. Srikantia has authored 35 research papers, held leadership roles in six global conglomerates and delivers management and leadership seminars that blend wisdom and humor, reaching thousands of participants in nine cities. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
