Transcendental Meditation in the Boardroom

Business Conference at American University on June 6

Find out why more executives are meditating their way to better health, improved family relationships, and greater success in the boardroom

Work/life pressures. Escalating stress. The unyielding demands for creative and innovative thinking in the boardroom. Despite the best efforts of HR and wellness departments to provide executives with the newest and best approaches to ease job stress and fuel the creative juices, the need is greater than ever.

And that is why more executives are turning not to the next newest thing, but to something old. Very old, in fact. Transcendental Meditation.

Why Transcendental Meditation?

To find out, I invite you to attend in person, or view via live webcast (TMBusiness.org),
a major business conference on “Executive Health, Creativity & Leadership: Exploring the Growing Use of Transcendental Meditation in the Boardroom.” The conference will be held in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday, June 6, 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., at American University, in the Katzen Arts Center.

Panelists will include:

• Ramani Ayer, Chairman and CEO of The Hartford Financial Services Group and one of America’s most respected Fortune 100 corporate leaders

• Jeffrey Abramson, Partner of The Tower Companies, one of D.C.’s largest developers (www.towercompanies.com)

• Steele Belok, M.D., faculty member at Harvard Medical School and an expert on meditation and heart health

• Nancy Lonsdorf, M.D., a Johns Hopkins-trained physician and an expert on stress and executive health

The conference will also feature a live EEG demonstration on the effects of Transcendental Meditation on brain functioning. Published research shows the brain becomes more coherent and orderly during the practice—which translates into more creative thinking, better decisions, less stress, better health, and even reduced health care costs. And with health costs spiraling out of control in business and no viable solution in sight, this may be an effective (and cost-effective) solution to easing that crushing burden.

Please contact me if you would like more information on the conference—or would like to interview any of the panelists.

Best wishes,
