The Wisdom Paths of Leadership

Explorations and musings at the intersections of my three professional passions...

Leadership & Leadership Development

Integrative Health & Wellbeing

Global
Wisdom Traditions

At the confluence of these unique fields I explore: 

  • The role and impact of suffering, health, and healing within organizations, 

  • How to reshape our ways of being and operating in the world to live in greater commitment, integrity, ease, and joy, 

  • Gaining access to insight and wisdom as we wade through the chaos and complexity of current times.
