Noetic Leadership: Consciousness in Action for Front-Line Leaders

ConnectIONS Live!

How can noetic practices support leaders on the front-lines of a humanitarian crisis? How can leaders of all types access inner wisdom and a felt sense of interconnection in service to peace and prosperity for all?

Join us on April 1st as we gather for our third offering to specifically address the tragic humanitarian crises we see unfolding today in Ukraine. In this special webinar, IONS CEO Claire Lachance will host a panel with leaders from three different fields to discuss how Noetic Sciences can be put to action and resource the leaders on the front-lines of crises. Together they will explore the less visible characteristics and practices of leaders who successfully cope through crises situations and how we might all bring our consciousness into action to inspire solutions that can radically change our world.
