What is your DQ?
As kids we get tested on our intelligence level. We are told we have a certain IQ.
Our emotions dictate how we interact with others and so we now know our EQ.
But – what is the bridge?
We must know our DQ – when we have awareness of self and purpose, we can apply our intellect to our emotions and then impact others.
So…do you know your Dharma Quotient?
In the fast-paced and ever-changing world of today, the qualities of adaptability and agility are paramount for leaders seeking to thrive and excel. These leaders are faced with a multitude of challenges stemming from technological advancements, evolving customer expectations, changing environmental factors, the impact of globalization, and more. Whether an organization deals in products or services, its leaders must confront these ever-shifting challenges.
Adaptable and agile leaders are not only able to weather these challenges but also foster an environment that encourages innovation, creativity, and the adoption of new trends. They possess the capacity to make swift decisions and take timely action, ensuring that their organizations remain competitive and responsive.
Rashmi introduces a remarkable formula for resilience that resonates with a broad audience of leaders. Every leader, at some point, will inevitably encounter unforeseen circumstances or crises. It is during these critical moments that the courage to adapt and exhibit agility becomes the defining factor in a leader’s ability to overcome challenges and transcend difficult situations. Rashmi’s proven techniques for building resiliency enable leaders to tap into their inner strength, emerging from adversity as conquerors, and ultimately, finding joy in their leadership roles.
However, it’s Rashmi’s deeply personal and heart-wrenching story that will resonate most powerfully with the audience. She will share her sister’s decades-long battle with mental illness and the tragic loss she and her family endured. Through her personal journey, Rashmi will shine a light on the importance of seeking support, fostering a resilient mindset, and recognizing the critical role leaders play in guiding their teams toward mental wellness.
Rashmi’s speech is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and a call to action for leaders to prioritize mental wellness not only for themselves but for the teams they lead. Through her own experiences, she will illuminate the path to better mental health, enhanced well-being, and a more compassionate and productive workplace.
In essence, Rashmi’s approach underscores the contemporary leadership imperative of adaptability, agility, mental wellness and resilience. Leaders who embrace these qualities are not only better equipped to navigate the complex and ever-changing landscape of the modern world but also inspire their teams through their innovative and resilient leadership, thereby driving their organizations towards enduring success.

Merrill Brook McCarty, Clarke Wayne Tax
“I have been attending continuing professional education courses since 2000. Your presentation today was the best of the countless I’ve heard. I was so impressed with your openness and humility but also it was obvious how sharp you are. Even with the minimal amount of exposure one can get from a 2 hour presentation it was clear you are back on track and will have a successful life.”
