The Core Essence of the mission ‘’Reena Ram- LIVE THE EAGLE SPIRIT’’
‘’LIVE THE EAGLE SPIRIT MISSION’’ was born after undertaking close to four decades of ‘rock-solid’ and ‘holistic’
preparation by the Founder- Ms.Reena Ram. This Mission is all about practicing ‘’The Eagle Spirit Life & Leadership
Positive Principles’’ at the Organizational and Individual levels, across personal and professional spheres.
‘Eagles’ are visionaries and examples of exemplary leaders with principles, courage and conviction. An ‘Eagle’ uses
both ‘Intellect’ and ‘Intuition’ to soar to great heights! It is indeed a journey to do with enhancing the 'Leader' in you
whether you're already a current Business Leader or Leader in any other professional field, or you are an ‘Emerging
Leader’. The core essence is to sustain that 'Individuality in you’, whether you are a Business Corporation or any other
Institution, or for that matter an ‘Individual’, without having to surrender to mediocrity or the herd mentality, in
pursuing your desired path and goals, with an indefatigable zeal.
At the ‘’Individual level’’:
This mission through its personalized ‘integrated holistic programs’ endeavors to build ‘Spirit-centered Creative Eagle
Leaders’ who are ‘Warriors of Love, Light & Justice’, from all walks of life (beyond physiological age, gender,
race/color, nationality, cultures, from varied educational, personal and professional backgrounds etc). This is done by
awakening them to master ‘Spiritually Inspired Creative Self-Leadership’ and thereby, guiding them to live a ‘purpose
driven life’ filled with ‘ambition and meaning’.
The programs prepare ‘Individuals’ to effectively utilize both their ‘Intellect’ and ‘Intuition’, to create ‘Inspired
manifestations’ in terms of their dreams and goals, in different areas of their lives.
2. Above all, the goal is to activate the ‘creative evolutionary spirit’ that lies dormant within several ‘Individuals’! To
encourage them to build their courage and conviction and breakaway from stereotypical existence, in order to live
their ‘true calling’ and be an inspiration, by touching many more lives, way beyond ‘themselves’.
In a nutshell, this mission is about enlightening individuals to grow ‘holistically’ at the ‘’Mind, Body & Spirit level’’,
by tapping into their ‘highest spiritual and creative potential’.
At the ‘’Organizational level’’:
The mission works towards building ‘Spiritually & Creatively Intelligent People-centric Eagle Leaders’ who have the
conviction to operate from their ‘true inner selves’ inspired by ‘constructive values’. The mission coaches
professionals and leaders in Organizations/Institutions to utilize both their ‘Intellect’ and ‘Intuition’ in a balanced
fashion, in order to take ‘Inspired Decisions and Actions’. This would further lead to the manifestation of ‘Inspired
Breakthroughs’ that positively impact the respective organizations and world at large.
This mission endeavors to build ‘’Exceptional Organizations/ Institutions/Brands’’ through the practical application
of ‘’Eagle Spirit-centered Leadership’’. This form of ‘’Soulful Leadership’’ taps into the ‘highest spiritual & creative
potential’ of its people thereby bringing out the best in them! The prime objective being, in creating more and more
future ‘Principle-centered Leaders’ with deep-rooted substance.
The natural outcome of this process is that, we will be able to create powerful ’Spiritually intelligent Business
Corporations/Brands, Educational & Research Institutions, Legal/ Bureaucratic/ Art & Entertainment Bodies and Set
ups’ that are ‘Built to Last’ as they keep progressing from being ‘Good to Great’.
From a ‘’Social Perspective’’, ‘’LIVE THE EAGLE SPIRIT MISSION’’ aims at bringing about ‘’Social Transformation’’
across societies by instilling the spirit of ‘Authentic Humanism’ (which embraces diversity in its truest sense) and
stands superior to ‘Nationalism’. Most importantly, we strive to build ‘Resilient Human Rights Warriors’ of ‘Love,
Light & Justice’ by touching the lives of those, who are ready to be introduced to novel and creative ways of
‘’awakened, abundant and enlightened’’ living.
In summary, this mission is about raising the consciousness in all walks of life by integrating Psychology, Education,
Business & Leadership, Art & Spirituality through these revolutionary programs.
In a nutshell, this is about awakening the ‘divinity’ ‘within you’ as an ‘Institution/ Corporation or Individual’, to create
an awakening and transformative experience in your environment.
Relevant ‘’Experts’’ who resonate with ‘’LIVE THE EAGLE SPIRIT MISSION’’ will be welcomed to join hands with us.

Her ‘’Creative & Sports Endeavors’’
On completing her formal Business Education and stepping into her first corporate role, in the Media industry, through
a reliable source associated with the Southern Television and Film Industry (in Karnataka), she was presented with the
opportunity to explore ‘’Films or Television’’ as an actor. This industry was scouting for ‘’new faces for lead roles’’
sometime between 2001-2003. She strongly believed that she did not resonate with being a ‘’mass icon’’ in
‘’mainstream kannada cinema’’ and hence, she made a choice to explore ‘’theatre as a thinking artist and also to learn
it’s use as part of creative art therapy’’. She realized pretty early in life that, her ‘’deeper calling’’ had to do with
touching the lives of an ‘’evolving niche audience/ critical mass’’. She intuitively knew that she would integrate
‘’creative art & spirituality’’ with her entrepreneurial calling at the ‘’right time’’. The time has arrived after a 13 year
long, rich journey of varied experiences, since 2003, and it has taken shape through the ‘’LIVE THE EAGLE SPIRIT

the first ‘International Public Relations Conference’ held in Bangalore in April 2003. She has revived her passion
for writing in the recent past and she endeavors to author books in the future, to impact lives.
Her ‘’Spiritual Pursuits’’ (Secular and not about Religion)
In her words, ''Life is a school chosen by my soul to be experienced in human form. Hence it is of prime importance
that, I remain an eternal student for my holistic growth and breakthroughs to manifest in every area of my life. Well,
it doesn't stop right there as, this deep rooted revelation and real life experiences and testimonies inspire me to spread
this energy and experience to more human lives and watch them feel fulfilled through the different stages of their
growth journey ''.
She believes that ‘’Spiritual Evolution’’ is nothing but nurturing one’s ‘’Inner Creative Spirit Self’’ without which one
cannot aspire to accomplish a sense of fulfillment in different areas of one’s life.
In terms of her ‘Spiritual Pursuits ’, she was certified with Second Degree Reiki from Usui Shiki Ryoho Practice, trained
in Cosmic Consciousness Meditation Techniques. She pursues and practices Angel Therapy, Yoga, Nicherian Buddhism
and other secular practices aligned with different religions. She has also delved into the study and application of
‘Quantum Physics’ which is the ‘Science of Spirituality’ and she continues to experiment and apply the ‘power of
Quantum Physics’ in her life and spreads this knowledge and application to others as well.
As part of her spiritual journey, during her formative years she contributed to the field of social work on platforms
like-HelpAge India, Indian Leprosy Association. In 2014, she was actively involved in the ‘Belly Dance Fraternity’s
Charity Projects in Bangalore’ which supported initiatives for the Old Age Homes and Orphanages and promoted Art

Revolution and Transformation’’ and to be a ‘Courageously Creative Life & Leadership Coach, Spiritual Guide &
Mentor’ and touch as many lives as possible.

power of the mind), Creative Arts ( which taps into the ‘soul’ and the ‘in-depth emotions’ of a human being), Spirituality
