He coaches and advises corporate leaders, blending Western management thinking with Eastern wisdom traditions, and speaks on a variety of topics at the intersection of business and personal development. Quote "In the yoga system, you practice these things in order to connect your inner wisdom. You also practice self-compassion. Can you be compassionate to yourself? And usually, when we're not compassionate to others, it's because of something in our own lives that we haven't learned to forgive ourselves for. If you can't forgive yourself for something, chances are you're not going to forgive somebody else for it." - Vish Chatterji Connect with Vish: https://www.headandheartinsights.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/vish-chatterji-b3b2681/https://www.facebook.com/businesscasualyogihttps://www.instagram.com/thebusinesscasualyogi/The Business Casual Yogi: Take Charge of Your Body, Mind, and Career - Book Support the Show.
