 TiE Con Australia 2011

Let’s face it –
it’s hard being
an entrepreneur
Once an entrepreneurial idea takes
possession of you, you don’t have much
choice but to act on it!
And if you are successful in actually implementing the idea, you then
lie awake at night worrying – either about how you are going to pay
next month’s wage bills, or whether that big customer will renew
your contract, or indeed whether your big investment or acquisition
will pay-off without causing you to lose your shirt, assets and
reputation. Meanwhile, days of a preciously short life slip away.

In the midst of this, do you not wonder, what is the true source of
“Success”? Why is it that some people are successful in business
(and in life), but others are not? And of those that are successful
today, why is that only some manage to sustain that success while
others fall away?

TiE Con 2011 is an opportunity to listen, share and debate the

essence of successful entrepreneurship and the values that must
exist for sustained success.

It is with great pleasure that TiE Melbourne and TiE Sydney

invite you to come along to the Melbourne Hilton on the Park on
Friday 28th January 2011 to participate in an afternoon of unique,
stimulating conversation that will truly open your mind.

Nithay Shanti is a spiritual teacher, writer, happiness coach,
healer, educator and modern day sage. He is committed to sharing
transformational principles and practices for true happiness with
individuals and organizations. He is member of DNA Global Network
India Team and contributes to Transformation Programs. He studied
business management at XLRI, Jamshedpur and then worked in
the field of Human Resources and Corporate Strategy. Since his
teenage years he felt a deep yearning for spiritual growth and inner
mastery. In 2001 he left his corporate career to ordain as a forest
meditation monk in Thailand. For six years he underwent rigorous
monastic training living with meditation masters in remote forests
across South East Asia.

At a certain stage in his practice he felt guided to shift his emphasis

from secluded sadhana to engaged spirituality. With the blessings
of his teachers he stepped out of the monk role so he could transmit
the timeless principles he had learnt in a modern context. Nithya
Shanti spreads happiness by example, by being a shining presence
of joy and gratitude. He is gifted in the ability to share profound
teachings in light-hearted ways. His capacity to inspire, elucidate
complex subjects and offer practical transformational teachings has
been appreciated by friends around the world. Since 2007 he has
been conducting workshops (which he calls “Joyshops”), meditation
retreats and training programs in India, Nepal, USA, Singapore and
Australia. His achievements are diverse - he has taught at Columbia
University (New York), coached CEO’s, taught meditation and
spiritual principles for happiness to psychiatrists, school and college
teachers, jail inmates, senior government officials, security forces,
etc. His work has been widely recognized and featured in leading
publications and electronic media in India and abroad.
