The Suited Monk: How to be Successful Without Meditation November 11

 

The Suited Monk: How to be Successful Without Meditation

 Monday 11 November at 5pm | UTS Startups @ Central
with Raf Adams
11 November at 5pm at UTS Startups @ Central
 3 Broadway, Ultimo NSW 2007
 

The Suit is your external self, your success, your achievements, your job title, and how you project yourself to the world. The Monk is your internal self, your purpose, your values, your intuition and how confident you feel within.

Most people (leaders) ONLY focus on their Suit in their career and disconnect from their Monk. So they create a gap within themselves between what they focus on and what they really want in life.

This gap causes anxiety, stress and a lack of fulfilment in life and work.

During our presentation you will learn how the gap is created in your life and 3 practical strategies to bridge this gap so you can live with more fulfillment aligned with career success.

A wise friend once told me that the opposite of addiction isn’t sobriety; it’s connection.

Connection is a fundamental driver of our spirit and experiences, shaping the choices we make and the environments we engage with.

While this source of connection is abundant and rejuvenating, some of us may find ourselves overextending or experiencing burnout in certain situations.

Reciprocity offers a balance where connection can thrive sustainably. In this session, we’ll explore the concepts of reciprocity, giving, and receiving, as well as what it truly means to be connected. We’ll also examine how, despite the countless forms of connection available today, we often struggle to harness their full potential for the betterment of our planet and humanity.
