Key challenges addressed

  • Remote working and its impact on their sense of belonging

  • A diminishing sense of pride in their work and ethics
  • The quality of relationships between managers and their teams

This course is suitable for those who wish to gain an overview of the key teachings on leadership of Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh in conjunction with leadership research & practice to solve the current challenges in many organizations in the world. It is suitable for those of all faiths and none. Participants may come from a wide range of backgrounds

Our Approach

The way out is in
We draw on the teachings of Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh combined with leadership research, practice and neuroscience to offer a pathway to individual, collective and planetary transformation. We start by cultivating inner peace and calming reactive patterns leading to enhanced personal wellbeing. From this platform we look at how we can bring compassion, understanding, inclusiveness, trust, respect and joy to others.
Transformation at the base

As we cultivate inner wellbeing and calm the mind, insight starts to arise; we look deeply and connect with inner wisdom. Alongside the practical tools of mindfulness our courses offer a space and a supportive community of others on the same journey that facilitates this expansion of consciousness. We start to understand the roots of our individual and collective suffering, to look deeply into the nature of reality and to find new paths to transformation.
