Mindful Leadership Summit

On August 13-14, 2010 I co-led a two-day retreat in Minneapolis with Yongey Mingur Rinpoche on the subject of “Mindful Leadership.” Over 400 people participated actively in the retreat. To our knowledge, this is the first time that Buddhist Rinpoche and a leadership professor have joined forces to explore this subject and see how Eastern teaching can inform our Western thinking about leadership and vice versa.  Rinpoche led several guided meditations over the course of the two days, but this was strictly a secular event, not a Buddhist teaching.
