Robin Sharma is a Canadian writer and leadership speaker, best known for his The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari series.[3]
Career
Formerly a litigation lawyer, he walked away from his legal career at age 25 due to dissatisfaction with his life,[4] and self-published MegaLiving, a guide to stress management which incorporated both western and eastern spirituality techniques.[5] He initially also self-published The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari, which was then picked up for wider distribution by HarperCollins[3] and became a Canadian and international bestseller.[6]
In his experience of over 20 years, Sharma has spoken for organizations such as Nike, Microsoft, PwC and HP.[7] His presentations are based on his book, The Leader Who Had No Title, in which he tries to deliver the message that anyone in any role can be a leader.[8] Sharma’s speaking engagements are arranged through The Harry Walker Agency.[9]
He has since published 11 other books, and founded the leadership training firm Sharma Leadership International.[10] In 2007, an independent survey of businesspeople named Sharma as one of the most influential leadership gurus in the world.[11]
