1. Raju Mandhyan
Keynote speaker, business / life coach, professional trainer, and author Raju Mandhyan tangos
fluidly across his roles to formulate customized success strategies that ignite individuals and
organizations. He has transformed thousands of people and groups across business,
nationalities, and cultures in the Asia-Pacific region.
Unleashing Excellence
Trained and certified in Neuro Linguistic Programming, Mind Mapping, and Appreciative Inquiry,
Raju continues to enrich his close-to-15-year experience in personal and organizational
development by applying Open Space Technology in facilitating leadership and innovation.
With life and business coaching, he steps confidently but lightly, not imposing his thoughts upon
another as he, patiently with uncontained excitement, burns the way for the dazzling unleashing
of inherent excellence. This process is important to Raju because “Personal excellence and
self-leadership is where we have the ultimate power and the maximum control over our
will and emotions.” C-level executives and profit organizations are of particular interest “not
because that’s where the money is but because with them rest the energies that
transform societies.”
Speaker of Good Things
If you have been part of Raju’s audiences in any setting - focus group discussion, intense
brainstorming session, or large banquet keynote event - you will have taken away lightlypackaged, vital new information plus a joke or two. From his effortless manner in engaging
audiences of various sizes and demographics, Raju’s superior communication skills become
obvious. A Distinguished Toastmaster, Champion Speaker across categories, and 2005
District-75 National Champion for Evaluations, he sticks to a personal oath of always bringing
value to an audience of one or of thousands. At each speaking engagement, Raju’s value-andsuccess metric focuses on insights and actionable points, not the glitz or dazzle of delivery.

His aim: to “inspire the audience into new thinking and renewed action.”
His method: high energy, interactive, and light-hearted storytelling.
Gathering and Spreading Learning
Diverse corporate perspectives boost Raju’s ability to glean challenges and elicit
transformations within an organization. He has had work postings as an engineer, as a financial
consultant, and as the CEO of an international mercantile company for 20 years, handling
projects for clients across the US, Latin America, and the Middle East.
Multicultural viewpoints complement his corporate perspective. An extensive traveler, Raju
speaks three languages and has lived and worked in India, the U.S. and the Philippines.

2. His intentions and performance are enhanced by these cultures’ influence:



Persistence, profundity and planning from India;
Professionalism, protocol, and commitment to quality from the U.S.;
Creativity, compassion, and sense of community from the Philippines.
During travel, at work, and while involved in projects, Raju stays open, listens deeply, and
assimilates. Like a virtuoso of wizards or with Zen-like stillness, he is able to “become invisible
and learn a lot myself” and goes on to “distribute and diffuse the nuggets of wisdom I
harvest.” Gathering and spreading learning is a sustained process.
Weekly TV hosting of ExPat InSights is Raju’s personal give-back project that rages against
complacency and mediocrity by spotlighting radical innovations, provocative concepts, or
personal discoveries that spur viewers to action. It is Raju’s way of making knowledge and
ideas freely available to many. Expat InSights has impacted a multitude.
At the Core and in the Zone:
Raju, in his interconnected roles, gets to the heart of the matter, whether that is:





Identifying and reinforcing strengths in an operation process;
Recognizing and awarding valuable human assets in an organization;
Highlighting and integrating the most important lessons from dialogues and interaction;
Sharing and transferring knowledge through his books; or
Asking questions and drawing answers that lead to an individual’s dazzling unleashing of
excellence.
At the core of Raju’s motivation is A PASSION FOR LEARNING AND ENABLING. “Life
learning is the key to becoming our best/excellent selves.” His vow: “I will stay a learner
for life and help others learn so they become a better version of their own selves every
day.”
Raju does this by offering deep insights on a vehicle of humor to produce “light profundity” for
others to discover, internalize, and remember. It is a hallmark of how and what he constructs
and creates. To say it’s a brand or that he’s in the zone is a misnomer and disservice. To
name it a calling or vocation sounds off-tangent and pious. By whichever name you choose to
refer to this Raju-ness, what bursts forth when you engage with Raju comes directly from his
Inner Sun.
