Career Dharma

Become a Career Dharma Coach

• Guide children, teenagers and young adults to find their true career calling using the transformative principles presented in the book Career Dharma.
• Strengthen your preaching by using this as a tool to reach out and support individuals in pursuing fulfilling careers based on their unique strengths, passions, and life purpose.

By undertaking the Certified Career Dharma Coach course one can achieve the above and much more.

Course Facilitator

Dr. Urmila Edith Best, with a doctorate in education from UNC Chapel Hill, has circled the world over 20 times, delivering workshops and one-on-one coaching. She has helped hundreds of people in dozens of countries find meaningful success in careers that resonate with their own values and nature. Dr. Best surveyed nearly 400 people on six continents for her in-depth research that explored the relationship between overall job satisfaction and various aspects of work, including spiritual faith and practice. She worked as a teacher and school principal for 27 years.

For Whom?

Are you inspired by helping people to discover their strengths and nature so they can find deeply satisfying career success and harmonious balance between their career and spiritual life?

You will learn and practice helping others to identify their ideal career field and prosperity type, progress towards dharmic mastery, and learn the secrets of making their work deeply meaningful. You’ll learn how to help others to apply the principles of devotional living to their career, and their career will thus enthuse their spiritual practices with deep meaning and taste.

Pre-requisites:

Required pre-requisite in order to attend the course are as follows:

1. have read at least parts one and two of the Career Dharma book
2. attended in person the full five sessions of Career Dharma taught by Urmila Edith Best
3. completed the Career Dharma on-line course

Only one (or more) of the above is required to attend. Ideally, some background or experience with coaching, counseling, and/or teaching will make it easier to follow the course materials and achieve certification. It may also be good to keep in mind that traditionally, this kind of counseling and coaching is done by those who are themselves in the Field of Ideas or the Field of Government.

Certification

Certification is based on demonstrated proficiency, not just attendance. The criteria for certification is as follows:

• Be able to explain the six prosperity types and the four fields (the four fields both in terms of specific careers and temperaments)
• Write the nine principles of Career Dharma from memory
• Explain common misconceptions and demonstrate avoiding them them in class interactions and practice coaching
• Be able to help at least three people in class to understand their prosperity types and field (principle 1)
• Be able to help at least one person make a plan for working in their career dharmically (principles 3-7)
