We’re living in interesting times right now
WELLBEING
Personal wellbeing got rendered invisible for profit margins.
AUTHENTICITY
Employees have become replaceable, invisible, cookie-cutter parts of the big business machine.
INTERCONNECTEDNESS
We operate in partitioned silos of disconnect and separation.
INCLUSION
People are marginalized, disengaged, undervalued, unappreciated, and led by fear.
We’ve been headed down a seemingly invisible path of destruction and division for many years now, but we are finally waking up and noticing it…
Yet, even through all the unusual happenings, many of us seem to be unable to break free from the scripts that have long been proven to not work well for us to thrive.
Can we change course and build a better, stronger, more inclusive and more profitable society for all of us?
Absolutely!
At AJ RAO, LLC we believe that by injecting compassion, authentic inclusion, and a focus on mental wellbeing and empowerment back into our lives, groups, and businesses,
WE CAN MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE.
The LEGupward™ Framework shifts the paradigm with a focus on:
Unlearning
So we can shed outdated systems that don’t work well with our modern workforce principles
Developing Compassionate,
People-Centered Leaders
So we can build collaboration and cohesion in our groups instead of divisive competition
Creating Belongingness
So we can be intentional about our strategic efforts across all levels of an organization and society, for better inclusion
2009. That’s when my world came crashing down around me, because of a severe car accident.
Life didn’t make sense anymore, but everyone expected me to “bounce back to normal”.
And I did. Bounce back, I mean. Just not to someone else’s idea of “normal”. Instead, I evolved and became myself. What followed is what I call the most incredible time of my life — one of self discovery, thriving, belongingness , and success beyond my wildest dreams!

*It turns out that though I had challenged those messages (of being invisible and not showing my intelligence) in the past, those messages still lingered. I discovered this when I pursued being a leader and organizer of a collaborative group of creatives. Being the leader made me more visible than I’d ever been before. And I was struggling.
With the help of Dr. AJ, I was not only able to confront and challenge those beliefs, but she helped me to develop a daily practice to maintain the gains and continue to challenge those beliefs. Through this practice, I am becoming more and more the visible leader I want and need to be. She is able to challenge and support your growth in a way that is deep and sustainable. I am forever grateful.

It is a pleasure to work with Aparajita Jeedigunta, PhD. Her knowledge and skill set has led to tremendous insight within my field. She’s funny, down to earth, but knows exactly how to handle her business. I highly recommend anyone who wants to become a visible leader to work with her too. She’ll make sure your best qualities stand out and create a customized plan to work on your blind spots. Thanks again!
