Where & When Does CPM Online Take Place?
Learn Online From Anywhere, Anytime.
CPM Virtual is a digital version of the traditional CPM course. It includes a mix of reading assignments, videos, webinars, small group discussions and both individual and small group exercises.
It is organized and presented by an online instructor and lasts approximately 85 days. You will watch a video each week to learn an important CPM principle, then do an exercise for about a week based on that principle.
You’ll meet with a small group to discuss your progress on that exercise and some weeks go through a group exercise as well.
Periodically you will meet on a web session as a class. Those class-wide gatherings are generally led by Srikumar Rao, where he answers questions, and engages the class in a lively discussion.
Creativity & Personal Mastery Virtual is limited to 20 leaders and professionals who are ready to make a quantum leap in every area of their life.

Application Requirements
To ensure the highest quality of Creativity & Personal Mastery, this program is limited to 20 participants. We aim to provide as much personalized attention as possible, thus the small, intimate group size. For this reason, and to ensure that everyone is on the same page and ALL IN, in terms of commitment, enrollment is by application and is not based on a ‘first come, first serve’ basis.
In addition, for the purpose of synergy we are looking to gather a group of entrepreneurs, CEOs, executives and ambitious professionals who have a spiritual bent and would like to infuse this into every part of their life. They are dreamers who are decisive, have integrity, and have a grand vision for the world and their contribution within it.
