Hariprasad Varma and his team from TAOa , conducted a unique experiential three days Arrow Leadership program recently. It was my privilege to have attended these intense sessions that focused on learnings via the Theatre experience and Natya Shastra. A unique approach for experiential learning that unravels certain aspects of your personality as you grow and aspire to be a leader in true sense.

Hari's insights on the Navrasas (9 primary emotions), and Leadership Propensities in these sessions were thoughtful, incisive and clear. His experience spoke through his comments and clearly helped to reveal layers of leadership interactions, how to recognize yourself in various situations and stay clear of restrictive behaviours. I highly recommend these sessions to all those who are on the path of self exploration, self enquiry and identifying your blind spots.

I was part of of Leadership workshop by Hariprasad and team. He is a wonderful coach who can deliver key message with a mix of some of our own examples. I thoroughly enjoyed the workshop and I can see the reciprocation with the larger audience along with me. I believe the key take-aways from the workshop with proper nurture will result in a positive outcome for an individual. I highly recommend Hariprasad if you are looking for a great experience led leadership workshops.

I met Hari in the Arrow Leadership program with TAO team. I experienced deeply transformational practices from a diverse set of Indic Knowledge Traditions such as Yoga, Natya Shastra, Tamil Folk Theatre traditions seamlessly integrated into Agile framework. 

We explored our own subjective worlds through different self-reflective practices that included reflective art, interactive theatre, and fun-filled games. Hari led yoga practices that were designed to help us enter a space of Santam (equanimity) within and facilitated sessions that guided us through the various inner voices within. 

What I loved about his style of engaging / facilitating was awesome. He has excellent skills to build on anything. The three days session was so much engaging that we didn't realize how quickly it got concluded.

Hari is a committed knowledgeable and a passionate coach. He is a lifelong learner and always ready to explore and grab opportunities to learn and help. I was part of the SaptaSwara program for self-exploration co-facilitated by Hari. It is a well-designed inner work program and with his professional attitude he delivered it so perfectly. He knows when to pitch in and then leaves it to the participant to decipher the meaning and arrive at conclusions or just be with the question itself! He has also facilitated sessions for Drishya which proved to be extremely exciting for my students.

Tranquil aura, calming voice, soothing smile and, all ears not to hear but to listen - cross my mind when I think about Hari. I met this exceptional leadership coach in one of the tailored leadership programs for our organisation. Most in the batch knew what leadership is but, Hari (and the brilliant TAO team) made it easy for us to explore on how to make the discovery of a leader within oneself. 

It was a multi-day workshop and everyday Hari began the journey with breathing techniques and body stretching. I must acknowledge that he curated the start of the days with such a perfection that it becomes needless to mention how the days ended - magical, yes magical. He made us realise that a healthy body helps the mind in quick understanding and easy discoveries. Therefore, we should be attentive to our body too. 

I admire my time with him because of his critical abilities of considerations and compassion as a coach. I rate and recommend him highly as a leadership and transformational coach and a mentor.

I met Hari in a very unique leadership program based on Indian values conducted by TAO. Hari is a brilliant coach, mentor and sail us through the leadership journey with Passion. He patiently listens to doubts, share his perspective without imposing any judgement, and help individuals to chalk out their own path.

Hari and Team TAO executed the whole program in a very unique way with perfect blend of Meditation, Theater and Vibrant content. Happy to be a part of such Journey. Thanks Hari and Team TAO.

I met Hariprasad & the TAO team in the Arrow program. It was one of the best sessions in leadership that I have attended so far. In this program, we talk about our fears, our dilemmas between who we are as a person and what are the needs of the business, where are we stuck, and how to come out of it through friendly discussions. In the process you see there are so many people who also face similar issues, and how to be human and ethical at the same time, without being way too influenced by our emotions. 

In short, I would like to say that if you are the one who also face these challenges in your current leadership role where you have such a diverse team then, Hariprasad and TAO Team is the go-to person and team. They have a great way of helping you to think more clearly, weighs your pros and cons and see what needs to be done in a given business requirement and situation through Yoga and Meditation while not to forget to be compassionate and non - judgemental at the same time. Thank you so much for such enlightened sessions where you help us to think more clearly and help us in lifting each other shoulder to shoulder.

Enjoyed the self-reflective TAO Leadership workshop thoroughly. And for a change I was not in a hurry to get answers from Hari! A very calm and poised facilitator, through the workshop, Hari helped dive deep through some very fundamental aspects of life. I strongly recommend this Leadership workshop with Hari. He and the team were amazing!
