Leadership Resources
The Meditation4Leadership Leading From Within philosophy is based on two intertwined concepts.
The first is understanding what has worked for other effective leaders gleaned from the work of renowned organizational leaders, management professors and authors.
The second is that a personal meditation practice can facilitate your capacity for greater awareness. By taking the time to truly observe you see your strengths and areas for growth.
