Values-based decisions, made under pressure
A fuel price rise changes the numbers overnight. A trusted employee is found with a hand in the till. A doctor looks at fifteen patients in the waiting room. Vedanta gives people the technique to know what they stand for and the intellect to act on it when it is hardest. Our programmes for organisations cover self-management, productivity, leadership, relationships and stress at work.
Greater productivity
Worry about yesterday and anxiety about tomorrow are what tire people, and driving with the brakes on is what burns them out. Concentration is the intellect holding the mind on the present task. Teams that learn it get more done with less strain.
Peace of mind
Stress is mental agitation produced by unfulfilled desire. The workshop takes that definition into a working week and shows where the agitation is manufactured, and how the intellect governs it.
Better decisions
The mind personalises; the intellect contextualises. People who can tell the two apart make sounder decisions, and make them faster, because the argument with themselves is shorter.
A talk, a half-day, a series or a retreat
- A talk. One hour on one question, such as stress, leadership or hard decisions, with questions from the room.
- A half-day workshop. The foundations of objective thinking: four techniques, each with an exercise, and follow-up exercises for ten days. About the workshop.
- A series. Governing Business & Relationships, chapter by chapter: value systems, work ethics, stress management, productivity, leadership, time management, and the relationship between the person and the world at large.
- A retreat. Two or three days away with a leadership team, built on the same programme Vyasa runs at Sanctuary Pursuit. About the retreats.
Vyasa grew up in an established family business and has spent his working life applying Vedanta to leadership, responsibility, relationships and hard decisions. He leads wellbeing programmes at Ananda Spa and is a regular resource for YPO members.

Governing Business & Relationships
One needs to manage oneself before attempting to manage anything external. The book deals with the basic concepts of running a business and analyses one’s relationship with the world. About the book.
