COACHING
Welcome to
Leadership Through the LENS
The intense, 4-day, no-bullshit experience for men designed specifically
to help you uncover your Ikigai,
master your emotions, and transform your life — using photography.
Every man gets stuck.
You’ve scaled the corporate ladder, built empires, and achieved what others only dream of. Yet here you are, feeling trapped in a gilded cage of your own making. It’s not just you – it’s a silent epidemic among extraordinary men.
SYMPTOM 1
You’re in an endless pursuit of more.
That major deal you just closed? The satisfaction evaporated before the ink dried. Now you’re chasing the next high, trapped in a cycle.
SYMPTOM 2
You’re living the success paradox.
Multiple businesses, industry accolades, a calendar bursting with achievements. Yet happiness and purpose feel more elusive than ever. Why isn’t all this enough?
SYMPTOM 3
You’ve become addicted to adventure.
Exotic locales, adrenaline rushes, the next big thrill. But the high fades faster each time, leaving you empty before you’ve even unpacked your bags.
SYMPTOM 4
It’s lonely at the top.
A dedicated team, admiring peers, yet no one who truly confide in. Success has become a solitary journey, with genuine connections as rare as oxygen at this altitude.
SYMPTOM 5
Your picture feels incomplete.
On paper, your life is perfection – luxury, recognition, influence. But something crucial is missing. You keep tweaking, adjusting, optimizing… yet the image never quite comes into focus.

MEET THE MASTERMINDS
Dr. Dhru Beeharilal
JD, CSPO, PCC
Dr. Dhru Beeharilal is the intersection of many things: International Coach Federation (ICF) Professional Certified Coach (PCC), Mindset and Growth Coach, adjunct professor at Georgetown University, entrepreneur, dog dad, huge nerd, explorer, author, speaker, recovering attorney, and creator. He is also the founder of Nayan Leadership, focusing on leadership development, business coaching, and DEI and culture consulting, as well as HachiMedia, a social media, digital marketing, and photography agency. He pioneered the Aperture Model of coaching in 2023, a model designed to create alignment and harmony in clients as they transition between leadership and development stages and grow into their authentic selves.

Dhru firmly believes in the ancient Japanese principles of Ikigai and Bushido, aspiring to live a well-rounded and fulfilling life while serving the ideals and values that he loves and holds dear. As a result, he takes a different approach to coaching and business than most. He helps his clients identify their limiting stories and tell a different story where they are the hero. In this story, he accompanies his clients on their hero’s journey, helping them observe, learn, grow, and iterate intentionally and authentically along the way. Along the way, he will support, challenge, and empower them to be the best leaders, the best business owners, and the best people they can be.
One of Dhru’s core principles is creativity, and in that pursuit, he found photography as a creative outlet in 2017. Since then he has enjoyed both his own growth as well as facilitating events to contribute to the growth of others. He also uses it as a tool in his coaching practice when working with clients to help them lean into their creativity to look at things from different angles and see a different perspective.
When he’s not creating with clients, Dhru enjoys exploring the boundless, terrifying freedom the world has to offer with his K-9 companion, Hachi.

Dubbed in the photography community as “the Doctor of Light,” Anand has a passion for community building and mentoring newer photographers. He satiates that passion by hosting photography workshops and events around the world, attracting a diverse group of photographers from all races, genders, and creeds. These events not only provide a platform for photographers to connect but also to blend learning, skill development, and networking across global cultures.
Anand’s deep appreciation for art and culture is evident in his work and the events he hosts. He believes in the power of storytelling through photography that transcends language, religion, and beliefs. He relishes in creating art and making new connections around the world, inspiring the next generation to find and embrace their vision.
