      Holacracy: Building a More Conscious Organization

      Holacracy calls upon everyone in an organization to have greater clarity and awareness: about the organization’s purpose, about roles and accountabilities, about where people are focusing their energy, and about where the work is getting blocked. The “governance” meeting is used to distribute authority and dynamically change the organizational structure, while the “tactical” meeting brings laser focus to projects and next actions. The result is an energized workplace and a highly adaptive organization. Presented by Brian Burt, CEO & Co-Founder of MaestroConference, a company that has been using Holacracy for two years, and Eric Babinet, Agile Business Consultant and Certified Holacracy Practitioner.

      Wisdompreneurs: Deep Networking and Best Practices for Coaches and Consultants

      "There are like a gazillion coaches at Wisdom 2.0," says founder Soren Gordhamer -- yet most of the talks and panels are focused on people working in larger organizations. Led by a Wisdom 2.0 Team Member, this interactive session will explore the specific needs of coaches, consultants, and trainers who incorporate mindfulness and Emotional Intelligence in their work. We will use structured play to deepen our awareness of the wonderful wisdompreneurs in this community and share practical suggestions about how to best grow a wisdom-based business.

We will take a look "under the hood" at the design of this content, and describe how we apply mindfulness practices to leadership to transform how people work.
