“What appeals to me about this work is that it’s not work. It’s inspiring, pragmatic, simple without being simplistic. SIYLI combines the wisdom of the ancient sages with proven science and provides an accessible program that explores profound truths without diminishing them. I’ve watched the integration of these tools become a powerful game changer for individuals and their communities inside and outside the office. Well-being and happiness increases; relationships improve; better decisions are made; leaders discover sustainable ways of being out in front.  The implications for peace are exciting to ponder.”
