 Past Participant Quotes

“What I learned through this mindful leadership session is that I have a tendency to get overwhelmed with detail or come up with big ideas but fail to fully follow-through. By slowing down and sitting with individual goals that are measured, I will be less likely to feel stressed, and more likely to hold myself accountable for their execution.”
“I gained a better understanding of what attributes within not only myself but also on my team that are necessary to succeed and to become one cohesive unit.”
“This mindful leadership session helped me realize I can push the organization to be more explicit and intentional about everything we do as opposed to just randomly taking on projects and collaborating on programs that are only distantly related to our mission.”
