Leaders & entrepreneurs — Developmental Mastery
For leaders & entrepreneurs

Already successful. Stuck on the one thing success hasn’t fixed.

The launch that keeps slipping, the decision put off for years, the argument that keeps repeating. You’ve understood it from every angle and it’s still running. I work on why trying harder keeps a stubborn pattern in place, and on what moves it.

What it’s like

No two people get the same process.

We work with what’s actually in front of us: where you are, what keeps repeating, what you’re building towards. The methods follow from that, session by session.

You don’t need to understand the pattern, explain it, or even talk about it for it to move. Once it’s seen, it can move. Afterwards there’s no technique to keep practising and nothing to maintain. What changes stays changed.

He began the call very casually, as if I were joining him in a coffee shop. This relaxed and calming atmosphere remained present throughout the call, even when we delved into my deepest fears and frustrations. Dr Ana Drobez, MD

In my words
…most of the time what we’re measuring when we think we’re efforting is actually our resistance to doing the thing. Anand Rao
Who I work with

Founders, executives and doctors.

My private clients include the CEO of Turkey’s largest natural-gas company and an HR director at Yale. They tend to arrive already successful and stuck on one thing. What they describe afterwards is a struggle carried for years gone in weeks, without the fight they expected.

Over the course of four months, through long sessions, support between sessions and recommended exercises, I experienced a shedding of old ways of being and thinking and then an opening within myself of more space to experience life in a more peaceful and grounded way. I am in awe of how much I have grown. Tricia Napor
HR Director, Yale University
After working with Anand, it feels like I am evolving at a warp speed and everyone in my life from my wife, to my kids, to my students, to my peers have commented on the large shifts in such a short amount of time. Michael Simmons
Three-time seven-figure education entrepreneur; writes in Fortune, TIME, Forbes and Harvard Business Review

If you’d rather start small: one session on one stuck thing, worked on live. 90 minutes USD 250; 2 hours USD 300.

From the very first meeting with Anand, I experienced noticeable internal shifts unlike anything I’d ever experienced with other coaches or methods. Melinda Livsey
