Without collective change, no change matters." When we come across stressful situations that we have no control over, our instinct is to internalize and become contemplative. We seek practices that will help our minds and bodies cope with the turmoil by focusing more on ourselves. We learn reflective practices such as meditation and yoga to guide us to attain inner peace.   Read More Join us for Mindful at Work and bring the benefits of mindful presence to your professional development and work life through science-based research and experiential learning. Learn More Reverend angel Kyodo williams Reverend Angel Kyodo Williams is an African-American Buddhist and a fearless, passionate social visionary.

There are three essential components for authentic leadership identified by Susan – "Authentic and Mindful Presence", which is how we work with ourselves; "Authentic Engagement and Communication", which is how we work with others; and "Authentic and Wise Action", which is how we work with systems and create cultures of authenticity.   Read More Interested in joining Susan in an authentic leadership journey?
