Velocity

Velocity, combining speed and direction, serves as a metaphor for our programme's aspirations. We aim to foster a rapid understanding of societal dynamics while anchoring individuals in a trajectory defined by core values.

"Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail." — Ralph Waldo Emerson

Leadership

In this intriguing dimension of our programme, we venture into the realm of Self-Leadership, exploring the profound question, "Who am I in my essence?"

This quest prompts us to examine our deepest sense of self, not just as passive spectators, but as active creators of our own reality. Leadership, in its truest form, is an act of courage, a commitment to usher in novel ideas and perspectives. Self-Leadership serves as the cornerstone in this transformative process. Embracing this concept resonates with the ethos of being a Yogi, a person profoundly connected with their inner self, who transcends the mundane to shape the world around them. This is the counterpoint to a Bhogi, one who merely consumes what the world offers.

We aim to build velocity for our learners, fostering a deep sense of connection with their authentic selves. As they immerse themselves in the paradigm of Yog, their work and their world become a reflection of their being, triggering a powerful, transformative learning experience.

Through a blend of one-on-one and group sessions, our learners will hone their unique leadership styles and develop the capacity to inspire and galvanize others effectively. Embrace this journey of self-discovery and leadership; witness the profound transformation it brings to your world.

Dharma

Our exploration of reality prompts us to consider the pivotal question, "Which paradigm enables us to respond most effectively to society's challenges?"

The problems of society can be analyzed through various lenses, whether political, critical, or religious. However, these perspectives often fragment society into disparate compartments and binaries, creating a distorted, segmented view of reality. In contrast, the dharmic paradigm lays ontological emphasis on the relationships between entities within social systems. It invites us to perceive challenges not as isolated issues but interconnected elements within a broader ecosystem. It offers a holistic, relational perspective, fostering a more nuanced and complete understanding of our world.More than a mere theoretical framework, it provides a frame through which we can perceive the intricate interconnectedness of our world, emphasizing sustainability and flourishing. It encourages us to see the world not as a collection of independent components, but as a dynamic, interwoven tapestry of relationships.

Society

The Skill component asks the question, "What are the essential components of society?".

Enhance your understanding of societal systems and institutions, their interconnections, and their roles in shaping our world. Foundational to public leadership is understnading the functions of the various institutions of societies and how they interconnect to build a

Unravel the fabric of society.

Culture

This thought-provoking module invites you to consider: "What elements give rise to culture, and how does culture, in turn, influence our societal behaviour?"

Embark on a deep exploration of the complexities of culture - its genesis, its sway, and its potent role in moulding our perceptions and beliefs. Cultivating a nuanced understanding of culture and its pervasive impacts is instrumental in deciphering the code of societal behaviour. Delve into the subtleties and tensions of culture in sculpting society, observing the many ways it colours our interactions and expectations. Through an anthropological lens, we unravel the cultural models that envelop human societies, examining the threads that bind us together or pull us apart.

Public Policy

This component prompts us to ask, "How should society be organised and managed to realise our collective aspirations?"

In this essential journey, you will be introduced to the twin pillars of effective governance: political philosophy and public policy.Uncover the intricate world of political philosophy, where abstract ideas and principles intersect with the practical realities of governance. Meanwhile, delve into the practicalities of public policy, the art and science of public management that, when executed effectively, can shape our world in profound ways.

Explore how public policy, both at the national and international levels, can act as either a powerful tool to address contemporary challenges or, when misguided, a stumbling block to progress. Through a blend of theory, case studies, and real-world analysis, you'll acquire a holistic understanding of the political landscape, and gain the ability to not just comprehend but shape effective policy.

Language

This transcending component infuses all the others by posing a profound inquiry: "How does language pre-structure reality?"

Language, is a collection of words and expressions, wielding both a creative and descriptive force. It has the power to shape reality and delineate the contours of our collective understanding.

In the arena of public discourse, language is not just a tool; it is the very foundation upon which ideas are built, expressed, and negotiated. It is the strategic high ground: those who master the language dictate the rules of engagement. Thus, cultivating a precise understanding of language and expanding your lexical repertoire are crucial steps in amplifying your ideas within the mainstream discourse.

This module underscores the importance of eloquent rhetoric in influencing public opinion and shaping societal outcomes. By honing your linguistic capabilities, you become adept at articulating your perspectives effectively, navigating intricate debates, and ultimately shaping the narrative of public discourse. You do not merely participate in the conversation; you guide it, shape it, and lead it towards meaningful outcomes.
