Dr. Srikumar Rao

I have been a top-performing Master Chair at Vistage International for over 20 years, having invited and assessed nearly 200 speakers in that time frame. As soon as I heard glowing endorsements about Dr. Rao from other high performing Chairs, I immediately asked him to come to my groups. Following those presentations, several Vistage members said Dr. Rao was one of the top few speakers they had heard in their ten plus years of meetings. After working as a group to practice his teachings, everyone couldn’t wait to implement his ideas into their lives and businesses. I can say that I personally was able to put both my business leadership and my marriage on a new plane overnight and this has changed my life forever.

We were fortunate to have Dr. Rao as our resource speaker for my Vistage CEO board meeting this month. While Dr. Rao is a well-known professor and speaker, he is new to Vistage, and what a wonderful addition. In his workshop, he invites us to examine our mindset and create a new reality and gives us practical tools for doing so. He received all 5’s from our members, rare for my group. I’ve seen all 5’s maybe half a dozen times in my 12 years as a Vistage Master Chair. One member with 15+ years said Dr. Rao was the best speaker he has had in Vistage. You can’t go wrong booking him for your team.

Dr. Rao's talk to my group was incredibly well received and I am very grateful to him. I gathered a group of my most important contacts consisting mainly of entrepreneurs, CEO's, VC's and corporate lawyers for a lunch to hear Dr. Rao speak. I can tell you the feedback I received was 100% positive. He had our whole group captivated from the beginning and held everyone's attention the whole time. His stories and method of communication were enthralling. Everyone said the hour flew by and they wanted more. He totally inspired my network and I know many people that attended are seeking an opportunity to hear and work with Dr. Rao. It was an incredible success and a home run in my effort to add value to my network. Thanks so much, Dr. Rao!

Dr. Srikumar Rao stands alone as a teacher, both to me and to the CEOs with whom I work. He offers the most thoughtful, most life-affirming teaching to the most effective business leaders — and lifts their performance and enjoyment in life to previously unimagined heights. He has done this for me and he has done this for CEOs who -- like me -- thought mastery had already been attained. With Dr. Rao's teaching, mastery is achieved at a new level. I see his gift in my CEO colleagues — and in their continuing decision to train with Dr. Rao in his programs in New York.

As the Learning Chair and Board Member of the Entrepreneurs' Organization Boston Chapter, I talk to dozens of speakers every year in planning out our calendar. Many sound the same, but Srikumar Rao came to me with a referral from an acquaintance that was such a strong endorsement, it was hard to take seriously. Dr. Rao saved this person from taking his life in a desperate period of his life. We booked Dr. Rao and he captivated the 100 or so entrepreneurs with his discussion of finding inner peace in a hectic world. He was funny, endearing and most of all, he left all of us with a perspective that will change our lives forever. Not to mention, he endured a hot, windy and noisy outdoor environment to deliver his message with a smile and grace. He's a gentleman and a scholar. As promised, he delivered the highest rated event of the year in Boston. Thank you, Dr. Rao.

My first exposure to Srikumar Rao changed my life. I had big ambitions and channeled them into rising in the corporate hierarchy of a US multinational company. His workshop opened me up to a different perspective where the ambition remained but was more calm and tethered to a deeper purpose. This directly led to the launching of my company and my present career path. I am more fulfilled now, personally and professionally, than I ever dreamed possible. I was an executive officer of the Young President’s Organization (YPO) in Prague and bought in Dr. Rao to conduct his workshop. It had such an impact that, years later, many members still remember and use the concepts he shared. Numerous executives, some at C-level, have confided to me that Dr. Rao’s programs are exceptionally powerful and engender a complete shift in consciousness. They are truly life-changing.

What a phenomenal presentation by Dr. Rao which will have significant impact on anyone fortunate enough to be in the room! Over the past couple of years, I have been on a personal journey to discover a “quiet” and “calm” place in my life after many years of a frenetic business career… A way to live a centered, yet successful, life. The good news, the bad news. The bad… I could have use these ideas and philosophy MANY years ago!! The good… at least I have them now to use for the balance of my life. Dr. Rao made a presentation to one of my Vistage peer groups in which all speakers are rated 1-5 on content, style and take-away value. His presentation was scored 5.0 across the board… a rare occurrence. Many of the members had spouses/significant others in the room who were also mesmerized by his message. If you are reading my accolades, do not hesitate to engage Dr. Rao for your organization or association. For me, my fiancée and I are considering his Creativity and Personal Mastery training as a next step on our personal journey!

Dear Srikumar, I want to personally thank you for presenting one of the most impactful and meaningful presentations I’ve experienced. Your participation in the Entrepreneur’s Organization Boston Chapter Kick-Off event made it extra special. We surveyed the audience post event and participants commented on how meaningful your content was on a very personal level. The ideas presented allowed for an expansion of the possibilities available for each of them. Even with the challenges encountered with the venue; noise level, interruptions etc; you continued on and gave everyone present exactly what they were there to receive – access to a new way of living, of being. Thank you again for creating a life changing event for EO Boston. I would, without reservation, recommend your program for any individual or group looking to have a truly life changing moment.

I first met Dr. Rao at the 2016 Entrepreneur’s Organization (EO) Global Leadership Conference in San Diego where he was the highest rated speaker. His message was so meaningful, we brought him to Portland for our EO Chapter Retreat, where he again gave us a new perspective by which to view our work and personal lives. In fact, it was such a valuable workshop, two of us brought him back for a full day workshop with our senior management teams. Although a little skeptical beforehand, many of my executives report feeling less stress and are more engaged with their work. He covered a lot of material, but it was very interactive. The tools they have learned, and the language we all share now, have been a big benefit to our company as we continue to grow. As both an EO and YPO member, I can say that Dr. Rao’s workshop is among the most valuable learning events you can attend.

Dr. Srikumar Rao spoke to the Long Island, NY chapter of YPO on February 24, 2016. It was an engaging and interactive talk focusing on the inner lives of entrepreneurs. He showed how personal mastery could lead to much greater success in both business and personal life. Dr. Rao was outstanding. Several YPO Gold members considered him to be one of the best speakers they had ever head. Some, who missed the talk, we so amazed at the reactions of those who attended that they reached out to him afterward. The principles, concepts and exercises that Dr. Rao shared can be life changing. Dr. Rao’s talk was an extraordinarily worthwhile event. And also a highly entertaining one.
