Mind&Body@Work

Mind&Body@Work

Wellness, Well-being and Mindfulness are trending right now as organizations try to attract and retain the best talent in this tumultuous, post-Covid world. At the Leader Lab, we agree these are important concepts and overdue for being fully utilized in the workplace. We also believe that these concepts only work when you treat the mind and body as a whole. We are excited to be part of a societal shift in attention toward the whole person. We invite you to join us as we begin to look broadly ..and deeply at wellness, well-being and mindfulness in the workplace.
