My work focuses on integrating spiritual practices and principles into facilitation and consulting with organizations (http://spiritofinstitutions.blogspot.com). I found you through your article in the Neuland email newsletter, which I also thought was great. Thank you!

I fully believe from my observations over the last 30 years that one reason this is true is that people are not present in the moment, alert and aware. So leaders miss so many of the cues that could guide them to more effective relationships, communication and results. Thanks for your lesson on breathing! Breathing is EQ's number one tool precisely because it brings us to the present and shifts the chemicals/emotions in the body. We are much more available when grounded and present.
