Click on the title of this post to go to a video of Khandro Rinpoche, a Tibetan Buddhist teacher, speaking on leadership. She refers to sangha, the term for a Buddhist community, but her words are general and anyone from any tradition can relate to it.
She focuses on friendliness to ourselves and others, genuine socializing, and working together outside of the normal administrative realm to build a stronger community/team.
"Currently the problems that we face today are not the problems of the people, what we face are the problems of the leaders." Jetsun Khandro Rinpoche
Recorded August 2007, during an audience to administrators after a teaching at the Berkeley Shambhala Center. In this video, Rinpoche responds to a question about how meditation center volunteers and administrators relate to each other. By permission of Khandro Rinpoche and the Berkely Shambhala Center.

To truly live an authentic life, the work begins with you. I offer coaching for individuals seeking to achieve specific goals, as well as those interested in exploring their lives and how they can live more authentically.
For organizations there is group coaching. These can be one-time, goal-oriented, facilitated meetings, to ongoing coaching sessions for staff and administration.
Leadership Training encompasses a holistic view of a particular organization, or can be general in nature. Leadership Training is not just for Administrators, but incorporates Peer Leadership. I focus on the whole staff and create a space for genuine teamwork.
