The summer cohort was smart, energetic and engaged and they knew how to have fun while learning. Please see the article from Elephant Journal founder Waylon Lewis about his experience at Twin Oaks Farm. The last 10 weeks have been inspiring for us as well - each new group informs the work we do at the  Authentic Leadership Center and we are grateful for these opportunities.  Whether we are teaching in Jamaica, here in Boulder, Colorado or soon to be in Lithuania for the European Summer Retreat, we are inspired to continue sharing new perspectives and practices to support your continuous journey toward leading authentically. This week as I took a moment to write the message for this August newsletter, I ended up writing a blog on the "Four Qualities of Mindfulness You Can Practice at Work" and your daily life. As a blog you will be able to refer to it anytime and also share with others you know. I would really enjoy any comments or insights that you might want to share with myself and the rest of the community in the comment section of the blog.
