Leader’s Voice
Deepak Chopra at the secrets of success in leadership conference
Nadia Aucamp, Senior Account Manager, Jenni Newman Public Relations (Pty) Ltd
On the 18th/19th April, the ‘Secrets of Success in Leadership’ conference is taking place at the Sandton Convention Centre, where the very latest trends in successful leadership will be examined.
International guest speakers, including Dr Deepak Chopra, Author and one of the world’s greatest experts in the field of leadership, personal development and spiritual and emotional intelligence, and Dr John Demartini, Author and international inspirational speaker on personal development and maximising human potential, will join eminent national leaders from the political, business and academic arenas to explore the essence of successful leadership and to examine cutting-edge thinking in leadership methodologies. Dr Deepak Chopra’s presentation will also be open to the public.
Acknowledged as one of the world’s greatest leaders in the field of mind-body medicine, Dr Deepak Chopra continues to transform our understanding of the meaning of health. Through his creation of The Chopra Center for Well Being in California in 1996, Dr Chopra established a formal vehicle for the expansion of his healing approach using the integration of the best of western medicine with natural healing traditions, in both conventional and complementary healing arts. Dr Chopra’s work is changing the way the world views physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and social wellness.
Dr Chopra is known as the prolific Author of over 50 books and more than 100 audio, video and CD-ROM titles which have been translated into 35 languages with over 20 million copies sold worldwide.
Dr Chopra is the recipient of the Einstein Award through the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in collaboration with the American Journal of Psychotherapy, as well as the 2006 Ellis Island Medal of Honor, by the National Ethnic Coalition of Organisations. Along with Nobel Peace Laureates Oscar Arias, Betty Williams and others, Dr Chopra is a Founding Director and the President of the Alliance for a New Humanity. The Alliance for a New Humanity is committed to creating a critical mass of consciousness in the world for social justice, economical freedom, ecological balance and conflict resolution.
Dr Chopra is revolutionising common wisdom about the crucial connection between body, mind, spirit, and healing, ‘bridging the technological miracles of the west with the wisdom of the east’.
"Wisdom traditions define truth as a single spark that burns down the whole forest. If the leader is willing to be that spark, others will see it within him," says Dr Chopra. He addresses the deeper meaning of our existence including:
- What is our true nature?
- What is the meaning and purpose of our existence?
- How can I transform myself?
- How can I draw upon intuition and creativity to fulfill fundamental human needs?
- How can I make a better world?
When the final story is told, leadership in all walks of life is the most crucial choice one can make – it is the decision to step out of darkness. Only someone who can find wisdom in the midst of chaos will be remembered as a great leader.
History will view Dr Chopra as the man who set the cornerstone for a medical model that promotes greater self-reliance and self-awareness as the most valuable personal and societal assets for creating health.
