Bringing Meditation into Everyday Life with Michael Carroll

For hundreds of years, our human ancestors have discovered a profound and vivid wisdom by simply "sitting still". But how can such a basic act make a difference in our careers, family life and person development? In this program, we will learn how to practice the 2,500 year old meditation discipline of "formless sitting" and explore how such a practice can help us engage our daily lives with wisdom and kindness.


Michael Carroll is the COO of Global Coaching Alliance and the author of Awake at Work (2004), The Mindful Leader (2007) and Fearless at Work (2012) and over his 30 year business career has held executive positions with Shearson Lehman/American Express, Simon & Schuster and the Walt Disney Company. Michael presently coaches and consults with such enterprises as Procter & Gamble, Google, AstraZeneca, Starbucks, RED, and National Geographic Expeditions. Michael has been studying Tibetan Buddhism since 1976 and is an authorized teacher in the Kagyu-Nyingma lineage of Tibetan Buddhism. He has lectured at the Wharton Business School, Swarthmore College, Virgina Tech, Columbia University, Drexel University, Kripalu, Zen Mountain Monastery, Omega Institute (assisting Pema Chodron) and many other institutions throughout the US, Canada, Europe and Australia.
