It is an opportunity to deepen your personal practice of mindfulness and human-centered skills within a global community of like-minded leaders and practitioners so that you can have the influence and impact you’d like to make in the world.
Together, we will deepen our connection to our shared mission to build more human(e) workplaces and envision the future that could be made possible through our collective efforts. You will walk away feeling resourced, connected, inspired and empowered to embody the ethos of a more human(e) workplace each and every day.
