Pandit Dasa, Mindful Leadership Expert, Motivational Speaker, and Author of The Urban Monk and Mindfulness of the Wondering Mind

This workshop will address the importance of creating an environment where ego battles aren’t driving the company down and where individuals are willing to put aside their own self-interest for the sake of the greater good. It encourages an environment where individuals are willing to appreciate the contributions of their co-workers instead of feeling threatened by them.

Pandit Dasa will share his personal journey on how and why he lived as a monk in New York City for 15 years and why he’s no longer a monk. He will also share his key takeaways from that experience such as how to close the gaps apps in the mind and how to develop resilience during uncertainty and change. During this interactive workshop, the audience will engage in discussion on the following topics focused on creating a mindful and positive workplace culture:
