  • Developing awareness and management of personal and professional stress
  • Reducing reactivity and increasing purposeful responsiveness in the moment of choice
  • Implementing strategies to make each leader's vision and commitments a living reality
  • Increasing trust within your own team and on an organizational level 
  • Creating meaningful connections within the cohort with lasting benefits

"Many top leaders and CEOs are recognizing that mindfulness is a leadership superpower that enables the focus, wisdom and creativity needed to face a rapidly changing business landscape," said David Cherner, CEO of YOL. "By integrating mindfulness with service engagement (volunteering) and somatic activities within an experiential curriculum, our program delivers tools to help leaders attain their best possible outcomes."

The YOL Mindful Leadership Cohort experience will include quarterly 2-day leadership intensives at the Costanoa eco-resort in Pescadero, CA, six moderated online sessions, and a curriculum of self-directed learning. Supplemental individual and team coaching will also be available to support the application of skills taught in the program and help interpret these strategies in the context of specific work environments and team dynamics.

"Too often, leadership training sessions have the right ideas, but don't go deep enough into building experiences that shape leaders in lasting ways," says Zanette Johnson, PhD, YOL Director of Learning and cohort lead. "We've created a blended experiential foundation to support applied workplace changes as well as personal transformation over the long term."
