    MINDFULNESS AND ENGAGEMENT

    “You'll never connect with


    your people unless you
    really focus on them. And
    then when you're in
    conversation with them, A,
    you'll learn nothing, and B,
    they will know that you had
    no interest in them. On
    both scores, you've just
    failed that test.”
    Arne Sorenson,
    CEO, Marriott

    “I initiated the program expecting that we would
    become more focused and productive. That has
    happened and I am grateful.
    However, I realize another much bigger change:
    I experience on myself and my employees that
    we are becoming better human beings.”

    others to find meaning, purpose and a sense of connectedness is
