Inner Development | Catalyzing Change From the Inside Out
×
EVENT DETAILS
09:00 – 10:00 – Alserkal Avenue, Dubai, UAE
Inner Development | Catalyzing Change From the Inside Out
The climate crisis is deepened by a tendency in business to address systemic problems in isolation, with a mechanistic, linear, and singular worldview.
Neol’s “Inner Development Pause” is a workshop experience designed to help your team explore the holistic approach of regenerative leadership and engage in the inner work that ultimately will drive the actions we take.
The experience invites you to leave behind a corporate worldview, bring your whole self, and acknowledge the emotions of the climate crisis. The session fosters within individuals an ability to connect with a life-centric paradigm and, in so doing, discover new ways of thinking about the value and growth that such a paradigm offers.
