Resilience for Leader and Organisation
Our professional lives bring many rewards, not least those of purpose and meaning. However, for many people at all levels, the pressures of navigating fast-paced and stressful environments can mean reduced performance, impaired decision-making abilities and loss of well-being, engagement and enjoyment - of work and even life in general.

Developing a Mindfulness and Resilience practice can make significant contributions to these challenges, at all levels in an organisation.
