META MIND ALIGNMENT
THE NEW SCIENCE OF LEADERSHIP & HAPPINESS
WHAT : The Concept
Created in 2004 by Avinash Ananda and Varsha PG (an internationally renowned psychotherapist, educationist, emotion management expert and life coach), Meta Mind Alignment is a new science of leadership and happiness. It is a behavioral transformation system that enables an individual, team, family, organization or institution to lead themselves, with happiness principles and strategies, to overcome conflicts and challenges and achieve their next level of success and harmony.
It is based on the scientifically proven premise that sustained happiness leads to optimal productivity.
SustaineD happiness
Leads To
Optimal Productivity
Happiness First
While research has proven that happiness leads to productivity, at both individual and organizational levels, the challenge still remains, that engagement, motivation and happiness are fragile. Happiness is usually transient; exclusive to specific events, roles and tasks (not pervasive); predominantly externally powered (dependent on external stimuli); usually self-centric; and not always consistently productive.
Meta Mind Alignment is a new science of achieving and sustaining 360 degrees happiness through human potential optimization. This sustained happiness is called Alignment-centered Happiness. It is enduring; pervasive (holistic across roles/tasks/events); internally powered (independent of external stimuli); contributive (people-centric); and optimally productive.
With Alignment-centered Happiness, one also experiences Alignment in their personal, teams and organizational goals; their mind-sets (values, attitudes and beliefs) and behaviors; their own and other's needs; their inner world (mental models, perceptions, interpretation of stimuli) and outer world (environment / reality, the way the world actually works).
SUSTAINED HAPPINESS IS ALIGNMENT
ALIGNMENT GIVES POSITIVE ENERGY
ALIGNMENT COMES FROM POTENTIAL OPTIMIZATION
SUSTAINED HAPPINESS DEFINED:
Sustained Happiness is the positive energy that comes from alignment, that helps navigate through life’s personal & professional challenges and get what you want.
Meta Mind Alignment is the new applied behavioural science of achieving sustained happiness through human potential optimization.
why: the RESEARCH
Recent research has conclusively proven that enduring happiness leads to increased productivity. Instinctively also we realise that unless we are fulfilled first, we cannot contribute to the fullest; and unless we are motivated first, we cannot achieve to the fullest.
Just as individuals realise the need to be happy, organizations too are becoming increasingly aware of the need to keep employees, customers and all other stakeholders happy in order to maximize productivity and consequently growth. Organizational research suggests that building a culture of Employee Engagement lowers business costs, attrition levels and stress levels; increases speed & efficiency of decisions & execution; and enhances productivity, results and profitability.
Scientifically validated research linking happiness to productivity is growing in the fields of Positive Psychology, Behavioral Economics, Eudemonics, Abolitionism, Hedonic Psychology, Noetic Sciences and recent studies in Neuroplasticity. Countries too are now being ranked on happiness measurement scales like The Global Happiness Index, Happy Planet Index, Gross National Happiness and other emerging studies on overall well-being.
Taking these studies forward, Meta Mind Alignment is based on latest interdisciplinary research from over 450 sources in fields as varied as behavioral sciences, cognitive sciences, psychology, eastern & western philosophies, religion, neuroscience, self-help, motivation, mindfulness meditation, leadership and management practices.
All our experiential, immersive, interactive transformational programs are based on Meta Mind Alignment and draw from extensive research in :
•Positive Psychology
•Behavioral Economics
•Mindfulness Meditation
•Vedanta Principles
•Management Principles
•Neuro Sciences
They seamlessly blend the time-tested Eastern wisdom with the latest in modern Western thought.

THROUGH HAPPINESS-CENTRIC Training INTERVENTIONS
how: potential optimization
Meta Mind Alignment propounds that the way towards Sustained Happiness or Alignment centered Happiness is by working towards consistent alignment in what one wants, feels, thinks, says, does and knows, which are the basic faculties of every human being.
This results in Alignment centered Happiness, also called 360 degrees Happiness.
As the name suggests, 360 degrees happiness is aligned happiness in all spheres of life i.e. material, personal, professional, social, physical and spiritual.
With Alignment-centered Happiness, one also experiences Alignment in their personal, teams and organizational goals; their mind-sets (values, attitudes and beliefs) and behaviors; their own and other's needs; their inner world (mental models, perceptions, interpretation of stimuli) and outer world (environment / reality, the way the world actually works).
The learning interventions designed by Meta Mind Alignment focus on managing mind-sets & sharpening skill sets, which leads to inner and outer world alignment.
Meta Mind Alignment inner & outer world alignment or sustained happiness can be achieved through personal transformation, growth & empowerment i.e. human potential optimization.
All technological gadgets created by the human mind come with an instructional manual on how to use it. The most sophisticated technology of them all, the human mind itself, comes with no instructional manual.
Meta Mind Alignment based Training Interventions aim to bridge this gap.
It is the GPS you were looking for to navigate through the challenges of life.
Both personal & professional.
And to design your life. Your way.
With positivity. For happiness.
With productivity. For success.
Human Potential Optimization focuses on holistic growth in all areas of life through the Meta Mind Leadership & Happiness Competencies Framework.
Meta Mind Happiness &
Leadership Competencies Framework
The Leadership & Happiness Competencies Framework is an effective tool to define, monitor and measure learning objectives. It forms the basis for all our programs. The elements in the Framework (individually or in a need-based combination) are also offered as customized training workshops.
THE COMPETENCIES CUBE ALIGNMENT FRAMEWORK
For the process of developing the capabilities to actualize our vision and achieve our goals, we need to consciously learn and internalize the mindsets and skill sets as habits of the mind and behavioral practices.
