"The challenges we face in the 21st century call for a new form of leadership. It is no longer enough to be an expert and have all the answers. To lead effectively, we need to embody wisdom and compassion in every aspect of our lives." — Mingyur Rinpoche
Cultivating wisdom and compassion not only boosts our own mental health and emotional well-being, but also strengthens our ability to provide effective leadership and support others in a healthy way. In this workshop, renowned leaders Mingyur Rinpoche, Bill George, and Ya Ping Chang will share insights from their own life journeys and the practical tools they use to strengthen these essential skills. Their guidance will illuminate how everyone has the potential to lead and how we can use meditation, self-inquiry, and supportive relationships to tap into our full potential to lead with wisdom and compassion.
WHY SHOULD I ATTEND?
How do we tap our full potential to lead in these uncertain times? The growing challenges we face as a species play out in both our personal and professional lives, calling us to navigate the turmoil of the 21st century with wisdom and compassion. But how do we embody wisdom and compassion? Growing evidence suggests that these qualities are skills that can be learned and cultivated, as we will explore in this workshop.

About Mingyur Rinpoche
In his approach to teaching meditation, Mingyur Rinpoche integrates traditional Buddhist practice and philosophy with the current scientific understanding of the mind and mental health – making the practice of meditation relevant and accessible to students around the world.
Mingyur Rinpoche is a world-renowned meditation teacher with personal experience of anxiety and panic attacks, which he suffered from throughout his childhood and into his teenage years, when he learned to transform his panic through meditation. Born in Nepal in 1975, Mingyur Rinpoche began to study meditation as a young boy with his father, Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche, himself a well-respected Buddhist teacher. As a child he became interested in contemporary science through conversations with scientists who were visiting his father, and as he grew older he began to collaborate with neuroscientists and psychologists, including Richard Davidson and Antoine Lutz at the University of Wisconsin, on research projects that study the effects of meditation on the brain and the mind.
Mingyur Rinpoche’s first book, The Joy of Living: Unlocking the Secret and Science of Happiness, debuted on the New York Times bestseller list and has been translated into over twenty languages. His second book, Joyful Wisdom: Embracing Change and Finding Freedom, explores how difficult emotions and challenging life situations can be used as stepping stones to discover joy and freedom. In his most recent book, In Love with the World, Mingyur Rinpoche shares how his meditation practice sustained him when he left his monastery to wander through India and the powerfully transformative insights he gained from the near-death experience he had at the beginning of his journey. Mingyur Rinpoche recently appeared in the Netflix series The Mind, Explained, in an episode about the benefits of mindfulness.
As the head of the Tergar Meditation Community, Mingyur Rinpoche supports groups of students in more than thirty countries, leading workshops around the world for new and returning students every year.
