WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

“To have levels of intimacy that fosters one to relax, believe, instill, and trust makes this one of the most amazing trainings I have ever attended.”

“This training motivated me to want to get my master’s degree. It motivated me to go home and ask my son what he wants to do with his life and how I can help him achieve his goals. It made me want to communicate better.”

“The best test [of a leader], and the most difficult to administer is this: Do those served grow as persons? Do they, while being served, become healthier, wiser, freer, more autonomous?”

ROBERT GREENLEAF

“Servant As Leader” Trailblazer

Why does leadership matter, and how does it relate to Buddhism and Yoga?

The aim of both Buddhism and Yoga is to shape ourselves into the type of leader that can help others find maximum expression. By definition, the more that the individuals in a team, business, or family thrive, the more the group thrives. Both systems present a "common sense" philosophical argument for why we should strive to become inspired leaders – and the techniques required in order to do so.

Moment by moment, we influence each other in thought, word, and action – for better or for worse. Great leadership has the power to determine the trajectory of our lives.

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP

"Fundamental and inseparable togetherness" means that we have mutual influence on each other – and therefore the quality of our experience depends on the quality of others' experiences. If we want the best life possible, it only makes sense to try to improve the lives of others. The question is, how? Leadership isn't just for business managers and politicians – it's a skill that everyone needs. By examining and refining our vision, values, and performance, we naturally move toward the life we want.

Testimonials & Data

Even with years of experience running a successful business, leadership training has been necessary to take things to the next level. Not only have I streamlined operations, but I have also been able to help my staff understand why they should care about the big picture and how their responsibilities benefit them personally. The result has been an exponential boost in staff morale, productivity, client experience, and of course, the bottomline. Most importantly, this leadership training has helped me develop myself in such a way that no other method has – I’ve become more decisive and discerning.

— L.Y., Business Executive

I cannot say enough about the positives of training under the Evercenter philosophy. It imparts a unique leadership that combines both traditional and contemporary approaches for creating a dynamic work culture. It encourages team members to strive to reach their maximum potential, which naturally produces a winning team. Behind Adi’s playful facade lies a gentle – but powerful – motivator and communicator. He goes beyond the superficial and expresses genuine leadership qualities with compassion to all ages. My time working with him was short, but I am left with a lifetime worth of self-discovery and renewed purpose.

— A.H., Guest Relations

I can’t imagine how the trajectory of my life might have gone without coming into contact with people who understand how authentic leadership really works. Despite my diverse professional experience – from the fashion and lighting design industries to restaurants and hospitality – I unfortunately have encountered very few managers who know how to lead, inspire teams, or clearly identify priorities. Evercenter leadership programs have shown me, real-time, how businesses and teams ought to operate, and as a result, how much more fulfilling work can be.
