The Enlightened Leader June 23, 2009

THE ENLIGHTENED LEADER WORKSHOP

Leadership Training Offered June 23rd through 25th

The Enlightened Leader program is a groundbreaking collaboration between the developers of the Personal Leadership methodology and the meditation teachers at The Movement Center.

This workshop will provide the environment and tools to enable you to reach your highest potential as a leader, benefiting society, organizations, teams and self. Our fundamental premise is that leadership begins with the capacity to lead oneself. Personal Leadership involves taking charge of all of your resources - heart, body, mind, and awareness of creative energy.

The curriculum combines the tools and interactive exercises of Personal Leadership with yogic practices that cultivate stillness and awareness.

In this workshop you will learn to:

Develop leadership-of-others skills aligned with spiritual practice
Generate options for action in situations where you feel stuck
Engage in challenging situations with curiosity rather than fear
Sustain high levels of motivation and commitment
Immediately apply new insights to daily activities and relationships
