It is human nature. At AJ RAO, LLC, we work with human nature.
We empower our clients to break free of outdated teachings.
We put you in control of your future.
It is the LEGupward™ process to a sustainable,
profitable future for all of us.
At AJ Rao, we believe in your:
Wellbeing
Your wellbeing deserves to be the foundation that you build your success on, and not just an outcome of your performance. Create this solid foundation with us.
Authenticity
Your evolution, success, inclusion and visibility as a leader are BECAUSE of your unique journey in life, not despite it. We help you own your authentic voice and experience.
Interconnectedness
No matter how many hats you have to wear, they all go on the same head. We help you align your intersectionalities in life with all the different spaces in your life where you can show up as a leader
Inclusion
The world is a better place when you include your voice, opinions, talents and contributions. We help you leverage your unique skill sets to harness the power of including yourself.
At AJ RAO, LLC we believe that by injecting compassion, authentic inclusion,
and a focus on
mental wellbeing and empowerment back into our lives, groups, and businesses,
we can make a big difference.
We’re living in interesting times right now.
We’ve been headed down a seemingly invisible path of destruction and division for many years now, but we are finally waking up and noticing it…
Yet, even though all the unusual happenings, many of us seem to be unable to break free from the scripts that have long been proven to not work well for us to thrive.
Can we change course and build a better, stronger, more inclusive and more profitable society for all of us?
Absolutely!
2009.
That’s when my world came crashing down around me, because of a severe car accident.
Life didn’t make sense anymore, but everyone expected me to “bounce back to normal”.
And I did. Bounce back, I mean. Just not to someone else’s idea of “normal”. Instead, I evolved and became myself. What followed is what I call the most incredible time of my life — one of self discovery, thriving, belongingness , and success beyond my wildest dreams!
The LEGupward™ Framework shifts the paradigm with a focus on:
Unlearning
So we can shed outdated systems that don’t work well with our modern workforce principles
Developing Compassionate,
People-Centered Leaders
So we can build collaboration and cohesion in our groups instead of divisive competition
Creating Belongingness
So we can be intentional about our strategic efforts across all levels of an organization and society, for better inclusion
Upcoming Events
To amplify our services to people who need them during this time of global crisis, our team at AJ Rao, LLC is constantly creating new workshops, sip-n-learn experiences, and other live stream events that are FREE of cost to participants.
