Today's leaders are challenged to reverse the conditioned managerial impulses of two centuries and make the transition from controlling to allowing, from `power over' to `power with', from managing to facilitating, from enforcement to empathy, from telling to asking.
Easy theory but not so easy to practice in a context that is driven by accelerating change, rampant competition and the kind of material success that is perceived to be a necessity for survival.
After a very successful retreat in May 2017, this second Wise Leader will take place from Friday Sept 28 6:30pm to Sunday Sept 30 2pm. In a confidential setting limited to 25 people, this Exclusive Residential retreat offered to Startup Founders and C-Suite.
This retreat was created in response to a call from leaders for creating a community around purposeful living and compassionate leadership. Along with workshops by our amazing speakers on topics including awareness training, unleashing creativity, social and emotional intelligence and wise leadership, you will experience yoga, meditation, nature walks, workshops, improv, and purposeful dialogues.
The Wise Leader Retreat was launched in May 2017 based on the recommendation by the Consulate General of India in San Francisco to foster wisdom and compassion based leadership in Silicon Valley. Selected faculty members co-facilitate each retreat with participation by leaders from of a variety of sectors and sizes. Alternating with the Retreat is an evening Heartful Dinner Conversation held in San Francisco. The first Wise Leader Heartful Dinner was held in September 2017.
