    Leaders of corporations and non-profits share their experience with mindfulness and governance:
    • How does the quality of my attention and connection with people impact how I perceive governance issues? 
    • How do we move from individual mindfulness to societal mindfulness to transforming the economy? 
    • What does this imply about how to develop wise and effective leaders? 
    • How can such inner shifts among leaders generate change in the economy at local and global levels?
