About Me

My mission is to help individuals and organizations get to world-class. As a speaker, author and leadership coach I have worked with thousands of people and dozens of Fortune 500 organizations. I am also a leader myself. As CEO of Sharma Leadership International I face the same challenges and opportunities that the leaders I work with do. Before finding my passion in life I was a dissatisfied lawyer looking for greater meaning in my life and work. That prompted me to write my first book and sell it out of the back of my car. Since then I have written several best-sellers including, "The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari", "The Saint The Surfer and The CEO" and "The Greatness Guide."
