Special Seminar on “Mindful Leadership”

On August 13 and 14, 2010, I will be leading a unique seminar on “Mindful Leadership” in conjunction with an extraordinary teacher, Yongey Mingur Rinpoche, the well-known Tibetan Buddhist meditation master. This two-day retreat will be held at the Continuing Education Conference Center on the University of Minnesota’s St. Paul campus.

“Mindful Leadership” is the meeting of East and West as Mingyur Rinpoche and I explore the integration of the principles of Buddhist mindfulness meditation with True North leadership. This seminar represents a bold new paradigm in which meditation training is combined with leadership principles to develop mindful leaders dedicated to creating a more peaceful and harmonious world.

Each day will begin with the teaching of Mingyur Rinpoche, including experiential meditation, followed by interactive dialogue between the two leaders and participants, featuring these topics:

  • Developing Self-Awareness
  • Crucibles & Understanding Your Life Story
  • Developing Self Esteem
  • Mindful Meditation for Reflection and Introspection
  • Shared Awareness through Group Support
  • Leading Others Mindfully
  • Self-Actualization & Creating A Better World

Over 150 leaders have already registered for this seminar. The cost is $195 for the two days, or $95 for students or seniors over 65. You may register here or at www.tergar.org. Out-of-town participants may want to consider staying at the Ramada Plaza Minneapolis, 1330 Industrial Blvd., Minneapolis, MN.
