The Foundation for Everything That Follows
The Foundation for Everything That Follows
Inner Foundation is where your Zen Leader journey begins—but it doesn't end here. After completing this 8-week domain, you'll have the option to continue with:
Relational Elements (8 weeks): Connection, Nurturing Potential, Mindful Communication, and Care
Guiding Principles (8 weeks): Authenticity & Purpose, Justice & Inclusivity, Courage, Adaptive Focus, and Journey
But everything builds on this foundation. You cannot lead others authentically without first developing your inner self.

What You Will Develop
Over 8 weeks, you'll build and improve four essential human powers that form the foundation of mindful, effective leadership:
Self-Mastery: Develop deep self-awareness and emotional regulation. Learn to recognize your triggers, patterns, and automatic responses—and make conscious choices rather than reactive decisions. Includes exploration of critical thinking and AI discernment.
Presence: Cultivate the ability to be fully engaged in the moment. Rebuild your attention span, find your flow, and lead with authentic engagement rather than distraction.
Beginner's Mind: Approach situations with openness and curiosity, free from preconceptions. Balance your expertise with willingness to question assumptions and learn continuously, an essential skill for navigating today's unprecedented change.
Balance: Align your thoughts, values, and actions. Create sustainable work practices that honor your whole self—body, mind, and spirit—so you can show up fully and lead effectively for the long game.

Who This is For
Who This is For
The Zen Leader: Inner Foundation is designed for leaders at every level—from emerging leaders stepping into their first leadership role to seasoned executives seeking to deepen their practice.
You'll learn alongside professionals from diverse industries and experience levels, because everyone has something to learn and something to teach. This cross-industry approach breaks down silos, builds valuable networks, and provides fresh perspectives you can't get in industry-specific programs.
*NOTE: We welcome multiple participants from the same organization, however, we recommend that participants do not attend the same cohort as their direct manager or direct reports. This allows freedom from organizational politics and helps to provide an atmosphere of psychological safety.
