Testimonials

I have known Dr. Srikumar Rao for more than two decades and he has been a mentor who generously shared his material with me. I chair six Vistage groups in Columbus, Ohio and I combined groups to have him as a guest speaker. His talk proved so popular that I invited him back to conduct a half-day workshop. He had the highest ratings of any Vistage speaker I have known. Dr. Srikumar Rao stands alone as a teacher, both to me and to the CEOs with whom I work. He offers the most thoughtful, most life-affirming teaching to the most effective business leaders — and lifts their performance and enjoyment in life to previously unimagined heights. He has done this for me and he has done this for CEOs who -- like me -- thought mastery had already been attained. With Dr. Rao's teaching, mastery is achieved at a new level. I see his gift in my CEO colleagues — and in their continuing decision to train with Dr. Rao in his programs in New York.

I have been a top-performing Master Chair at Vistage International for over 20 years, having invited and assessed nearly 200 speakers in that time frame. As soon as I heard glowing endorsements about Dr. Rao from other high-performing Chairs, I immediately asked him to come to my groups. Following those presentations, several Vistage members said Dr. Rao was one of the top few speakers they had heard in their ten-plus years of meetings. After working as a group to practice his teachings, everyone couldn’t wait to implement his ideas into their lives and businesses. I can say that I personally was able to put both my business leadership and my marriage on a new plane overnight and this has changed my life forever.

We were fortunate to have Dr. Rao as our resource speaker for my Vistage CEO board meeting this month. While Dr. Rao is a well-known professor and speaker, he is new to Vistage, and what a wonderful addition. In his workshop, he invites us to examine our mindset and create a new reality and gives us practical tools for doing so. He received all 5’s from our members, rare for my group. I’ve seen all 5’s maybe half a dozen times in my 12 years as a Vistage Master Chair. One member with 15+ years said Dr. Rao was the best speaker he has had in Vistage. You can’t go wrong booking him for your team.

My first exposure to Srikumar Rao changed my life. I had big ambitions and channeled them into rising in the corporate hierarchy of a US multinational company. His workshop opened me up to a different perspective where the ambition remained but was calmer and tethered to a deeper purpose. This directly led to the launching of my company and my present career path. I am more fulfilled now, personally and professionally, than I ever dreamed possible. I was an executive officer of the Young President’s Organization (YPO) in Prague and bought in Dr. Rao to conduct his workshop. It had such an impact that, years later, many members still remember and use the concepts he shared. Numerous executives, some at C-level, have confided to me that Dr. Rao’s programs are exceptionally powerful and engender a complete shift in consciousness. They are truly life changing.

What a phenomenal presentation by Dr. Rao which will have a significant impact on anyone fortunate enough to be in the room! Over the past couple of years, I have been on a personal journey to discover a “quiet” and “calm” place in my life after many years of a frenetic business career… A way to live a centered, yet successful, life. The good news, the bad news. The bad… I could have used these ideas and philosophy MANY years ago!! The good… at least I have them now to use for the balance of my life. Dr. Rao made a presentation to one of my Vistage peer groups in which all speakers are rated 1-5 on content, style, and take-away value. His presentation scored 5.0 across the board… a rare occurrence. Many of the members had spouses/significant others in the room who were also mesmerized by his message. If you are reading my accolades, do not hesitate to engage Dr. Rao for your organization or association. For me, my fiancée and I are considering his Creativity and Personal Mastery training as the next step on our personal journey!

I first met Dr. Rao at the 2016 Entrepreneur’s Organization (EO) Global Leadership Conference in San Diego where he was the highest-rated speaker. His message was so meaningful, we brought him to Portland for our EO Chapter Retreat, where he again gave us a new perspective by which to view our work and personal lives. In fact, it was such a valuable workshop, two of us brought him back for a full-day workshop with our senior management teams. Although a little skeptical beforehand, many of my executives report feeling less stressed and are more engaged with their work. He covered a lot of material, but it was very interactive. The tools they have learned, and the language we all share now, have been a big benefit to our company as we continue to grow. As both an EO and YPO member, I can say that Dr. Rao’s workshop is among the most valuable learning events you can attend.
