Even our most progressive approaches to human organization are quickly becoming obsolete – insufficient for navigating the challenges and harnessing the opportunities now in front of us. In recent years we’ve seen the emergence of dozens of new organizational ideas and techniques – new management fads – many helpful, some truly powerful, though few capable of sustaining a fundamental shift in the core dynamics of modern organization and culture.

The First Global NeuroLeadership Summit

(Participation Limited)

Breaking new ground in our understanding of how to improve human and workplace performance.

14 – 16 May 2007 – Asolo, Italy

Witness the birth of a new discipline

Some of society’s greatest advances have evolved from the merger of seemingly unrelated fields. The NeuroLeadership Summit for the first time brings together top neuroscientists with leadership development experts and senior business executives, to collaborate on addressing some of today’s most important organizational challenges. Issues like how to drive positive change, speed up learning, manage through uncertainty, deal with information overload, and make better decisions. Join an exclusive group of eminent thinkers, researchers and practitioners and witness the creation of new connections that will define new research, new tools, and new ways to think about leadership. All while enjoying great food, spectacular scenery and the cultural delights of northern Italy, near Venice.

Kripalu Center’s Institute for Integrated Leadership

We want to take a moment to update you on our successful first semester. This past December, thirty students graduated from the program after spending four months living in the beautiful Berkshires and immersing themselves in our holistic self-development curriculum. Our students reported life changing results, including:

• Greater sense of direction and excitement in work or study
• Increased confidence and stronger leadership skills
• More ease living with and communicating with peers
• Renewed commitments to healthier living and financial consciousness
• Deeper understanding of yoga and other contemplative traditions
• Clearer understanding of how to live life’s “big questions”
• Improved self-acceptance
• The strongest friendships of their lives

We would value the opportunity to talk to you about joining our upcoming Fall 2007 class. The Fall 2007 session runs from early September through late December. As you may know, we have rolling admissions, and we expect to fill the Fall 2007 class this spring. We also have rolling scholarship consideration, so it is to a student’s advantage to apply early. If you or anyone you know is interested in the Semester Intensive, please contact us soon at this leadership@kripalu.org or 413-448-3582. You can also check out the Semester Intensive link on our website,www.kripalu.org, for detailed information on the program and application materials. We hope to talk with you soon!
