Join Ulrike Seminati with her guest, Kaivalya Kashyap, as they talk about how to be a leader that is heart-oriented. Kaivalya is the co-founder and CEO of the International Academy of Transformative Leadership (IATL). In this episode, he shares how he helps people in their transformation to become better in the business world. Tune in to this episode to learn more!

Working With Love

If one works from the heart and aligns that with the mind, it enables them to be positive and create real change. It may sound like a dream to be heart-oriented, but Kaivalya developed a strategy to make it a reality. The idea was to create a company in a way like how the universe or nature would – a company aligned to universal laws. Kaivalya and his co-founder then planted the seed of the company, and there is only one answer to their prompt: with love. Naturally, that is challenging, but they did it anyway. So now, how is it connected to the corporate world? Kaivalya quotes Maitreya Dadashreeji saying that a leader is a visionary who sets heart-centric, empowering policies that encourage team spirit, radiate happiness, and channel inner power to success. Applying that to the current corporate setting is, in fact, challenging, but if there is a desire for change, it is achievable.

Acceptance to Change

When changes happen within an organization, there are only two scenarios: people would either accept or reject it. Therefore, a leader is essential because it is their job to walk the people through the transformation. It is their purpose to guide people from point A to point B. Kaivalya has worked with people to teach this leadership through sessions, seminars, and workshops. Yet, he clarifies that it is not about full control because anyone does not have that. What they teach in their organization is based on the old educational systems of training the logical mind. In other words, have the intuition, train it, and tap into it; go deeper within the self. By showing people what changes are put in place, they are more likely to accept it.

Did you recently hold a great presentation, a great workshop? But for some reason, the outcome didn't stick in the mind of the participating people? If this sounds familiar to you, then you were probably experiencing the cognitive bias of your audience. In this episode, Ulrike shares 6 concrete ways of how to create a strong start and an even stronger ending to your workshop or your presentations. Do you want to learn more? Then tune in to this episode!

The cognitive bias

Even when we think we are recalling facts about an experience our recollection of events is biased by the feelings we were having during the experience. And the reason for this is simple. Our brain cannot remember every single detail of an experience. And therefore filters what data it wants to process. Anything that created a strong emotion, wins the race. And particularly the emotion we were left with at the end of an experience.

Making yourself memorable

People don't remember you for what you were saying, but for how you made them feel. This is also directly related to becoming more charismatic as one important characteristic of charismatic people is that they are able to trigger emotions. What people ultimately remember is how they were feeling at the end of an event or a presentation. It is definitely worth making the effort of working on having a strong ending. Instead of focusing mostly on the details of your core content, which seems to be important intuitively, do something that seems to be counter-intuitive and focus on the small bits at the beginning to grab their attention right from the start and - even more importantly - at the end.
