The secularization of mindful meditation and its application to business performance is a key inflection point in management science. As organizations increasingly compete on the basis of disruptive innovation, leaders must become more aware, emotionally intelligent and better able to lead smart creatives in a volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous global market Id8TE provides research and education that maps wisdom practices to the real-world transformation of leadership, innovation, engagement, communication and productivity. Our work is at the intersection of neuroscience and effective management — focused on the practical application of mindful meditation to improve critical business competencies.  Our purpose is to help create mindfully aware, emotionally intelligent and compassionate leaders at every level of the global workforce — in so doing, we hope to have a positive impact in people’s personal lives, in their work, and in the results they achieve together.
