Oasis in the Overwhelm

This is Peter Clayton reporting from the North American Leadership Summit. Our special conference leadership series is sponsored by Deloitte.

Millie Grenough

I'm holding a small stone from a "take one please" bowl at the entrance. Well, "this is new," I'm thinking to myself. Millie is standing in front of the group, the projector is not working, no PowerPoint. She is totally, I mean totally unfazed by this information. Millie is a former Catholic nun who became a nightclub singer. She is the calmest person I've ever seen in New York. Like one of those TV yoga instructors. Her book is titled Oasis in the Overwhelm 60-second strategies for balance in a busy world. It's election day here in the U.S. Take a deep breath; have a listen to Millie, and learn why I still have the stone from Millie's early morning workshop.

About the NeuroLeadership Summits
The Summits are designed to bring some of the world's leading neuroscientists and leadership experts together to share what they have discovered and explore new paradigms for developing today’s and tomorrow’s leaders.

The 2008 Summits were held in Sydney, Australia and New York City in the United States. The 2007 Summit was held in Asolo, Italy and brought together 55 open-minded, high-powered thinkers from many corners of the globe. The hope is to build a better science for leadership by integrating relevant neuroscientific research.

If you missed the summits or would like to review what you learned from these insightful leaders, the keynotes audio recordings are now available for purchase.
