The bottom line is technology advances, information, and distractions are not going to slow down.  Our external environment is not going to change.  The change has to come from the place within. Mindfulness keynote speaker Mike Lee explains how by building a foundation in mindfulness we unlock the emotional IQ, develop the self-awareness and cultivate the resilience needed to thrive in this demanding, rapidly changing, and uncertain world.
