Breakfast and Learn – Conscious Leadership and Mindful Organizations with Fil D’Urbano
Bringing more mindfulness into organizations is a significant component of our mission here at Mindsmatter.
While companies like SAP, Google, and IBM have begun to hire Chief Mindfulness Officers (CMOs), many continue to leave this critical cultural competency out of their business plans.
On February 25th however, we will have the pleasure of chatting with our very own Canadian CMO, Fil D’Urbano of Ardene. Ardene is one of the rare gems that has successfully built an embedded mindfulness culture into their organization.
– How Ardene uses mindfulness to shape their culture
– What the challenges have been in implementing mindfulness into the organization
– What the benefits have been (if any) ?
