Lastly.. I recommend:

Enlightened Leaders Dialog Circles -
A key forum to lead in your community, nonprofit, Private or public sector company and/or place of work to make a difference.

I am asking all Leaders to create Enlightened Leader Dialog Circles in your company, community and/or place of work. The topic, “where are we really going together & how can we really work together effectively to get there?” We need great conversation in today’s world; to be heard, to understand, to focus, to come up with ways to improve and implement needed changes. Go deep, see what happens, allow miracles, its time. Need more: (See chapter 7 in my Path of the Enlightened Leaders Book for Dialog Circle guidance). Do It! You are needed! When I travel to your town all the circles can meet as a larger group and MasterMind a bettered world-community-place of work. Onward and Upward! Cheers, Bill O’Mara
