A Little
About Arun
Arun is a true believer in the concept of One Wholesome World: a world which is joyful, socially just and healthy for all (including future generations) co-created by communities of people who are living and leading consciously.
It is this passionate desire to reach out to others that led Arun (along with his partner Anu) to start the Pragati Foundation, a Non- Government Organization based in Pune. The Foundation works towards realizing this dream.
He also leads project “Awaken-I” committed to the vision of “Great Work for all”.
A man of varied interests, Arun is fond of long walks with his dog Soofie. He also enjoys conversations from the heart, meditation, graphic recording, dancing and creative writing.
What makes Arun stand out as a coach is his intense presence in the coaching sessions, listening and compassion. Arun believes in trusting his intuition to guide him in each moment as to the most optimal strategy and response at that time.
