To London Academy in Edgware for day one of the Life Coaching Through Eastern Wisdom programme which was essentially a series of lectures given by Pujyashree Bhupendrabhai Pandya spiritual leader of the Samakti Seva Parivar. The event was organised by an old contact of mine who used to run Hindu Youth UK and it was interesting how she decided to market the event, with the extensive use of sponsors and the absence of any mention of Hinduism. This perhaps allowed it to appeal to a wider audience and it was very successful I think in attracting a range of people who would not normally attend this sort of event. The day finished off with a networking session designed to give attendees a chance to meet like minded individuals and I thought this worked well, appealing to particularly the younger professionals to whom the event was probably most targeted towards.
