Our careers and organisations are being re-shaped in the 21st century raising new challenges at every step.

• In your own job or career you may be looking for greater meaning, inspiration and feeling a need to contribute more fully in your working life.

• In your current role you may be looking for new and effective ways to help your team, leaders and organisation keep pace with the changing needs and values of customers, employees and other stakeholders.

• As an organisation you may be seeking ways to balance financial performance with consideration of your wider impacts on employees, environment and society.

On the whole our traditional models of education and our ways of thinking about the world have not equipped us well for these new challenges. As Albert Einstein famously remarked, ‘you can not solve a problem with the same mindset that created it’.

As managers, leaders, employees and citizens we need practices and principles that will help us to:

• See complex situations clearly and respond skilfully

• Make decisions with integrity in the midst of uncertainty

• Think longer term and more broadly, and open to the perspectives of others

• Act courageously, creatively and with heart

People have used meditation techniques for thousands of years to help them act with greater wisdom, compassion, skill and clarity in response to a sense of deep purpose. Combined with professional and organisational development tools, meditation can be a powerful way of shifting our experience and opening up new possibilities at work.
