I am studying Paramahansa Yogananda's Kriya Yoga teachings. At the core of his teachings is a powerful system of meditation techniques: the Kriya Yoga science of meditation. This ancient science of the soul—to which millions have been introduced by Autobiography of a Yogi and other books by him—provides powerful methods for awakening higher spiritual consciousness and the inner bliss of divine realization.

As I continue my B2B copywriting projects, I'm practicing Kundalini Yoga. My goal is to get certified for 21 Stages of Meditation. I lived in two ashrams, New Orleans and Hartford. I was fortunate to practice under Yogi Bhajan. I'm now working towards my 21 Stages of Meditation certification. Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan® is a comprehensive yoga tradition, combining meditation, mantra, physical exercises and breathing techniques. Kundalini Yoga is a householder path; that is, it has always been practiced by those with families and jobs as opposed to a renunciate’s path of celibacy and removal from society, which was the usual path of a yogi.Kundalini Yoga as we practice and teach it, is also known as the Yoga of Awareness; its focus is on self-awareness and delivering an experience of your highest consciousness. The technology of Kundalini Yoga is a science of the mind and body, to elevate the spirit, which has no boundaries, no discrimination. Therefore it is for everyone, universal and nondenominational.

Before I became a B2B copywriter and content marketer, I participated in the 11-month 2010 class for the Leadership Greater Hartford Quest Program.Quest, the signature program of Leadership Greater Hartford for over thirty years, brings together emerging and established leaders from all sectors – corporate, government, small business, academia and nonprofit. They learn leadership through workshops, community tours and collaborative task force projects that address pressing community needs. Quest develops and engages leaders, offering a place to practice skills, create new professional relationships and address issues affecting the community.Founded in 1977, Leadership Greater Hartford is one of the largest, most diverse, and effective community leadership organizations in the country. Our mission is to develop, connect, and inspire diverse leaders to build strong and vibrant communities.With funding support from the Hartford Foundation for Public Giving, the Greater Hartford Chamber of Commerce developed Leadership Greater Hartford as a year-long program to provide leaders and emerging leaders with skills and knowledge needed to be effective in a changing world and to create a network reflecting and embracing the community’s wide diversity of leadership.That core year-long program is now known as Quest. Today, Leadership Greater Hartford provides community programs, consulting services, and leadership training for a broad array of individuals and organizations. Many current programs, such as Common Ground for high school students and the Third Age Initiative for seniors, grew out of community improvement projects developed by Quest participants in the task force aspect of the program.Leadership Greater Hartford programs combine leadership training with hands-on team projects and practical insights about the region’s accomplishments and challenges.

I authored an article, "Seven Simple Ways to Ignite Conversations and Boost Employee Loyalty with Video."Following the success of the first two editions, Age of Conversation 3: It's Time to Get Busy! again kick-starts the discussion about how the global marketing landscape is changing. With over 170 of the world's leading marketers, writers, thinkers and creative innovators contributing chapters, this collaborative work investigates the roles that community, conversation, experimentation, engagement, and collaboration play in shaping the 21st century's economy of ideas. As businesses, public and private organizations, and individuals realize that there's much more to social media and its impacts than meets the eye, Age of Conversation 3 shows us which platforms, tools, and approaches truly work, as well as those that simply don't. "Social media" may be the business buzzword (or, buzz-phrase) of 2010, but what's happening beyond the hype? What new practices and guidelines is social media imposing on business-as-usual? And what makes this type of media so much different than the media we're all used to? From the boardroom to the locus of customer interaction, social media is transforming the way we do business. The impact of this is being felt in every customer interaction, each business decision, and even in the way we source, retain and engage our staffs. This third book in the Age of Conversation series is crowdsourced, bringing together the world's leading practitioners to share their stories, perspectives, observations, and strategies. Their diverse insights and varying approaches are a reflection of the global, changing nature of business today.

I became a Fast Company Expert Blogger while writing my column, "Bringing Brands to Life." The column helped people deepen their understanding of how employee and customer engagement increases brand loyalty.

Written for, by, and about the most progressive business leaders, Fast Company inspires readers to think beyond traditional boundaries, lead conversations, and create the future of business.Launched in November 1995 by Alan Webber and Bill Taylor, two former Harvard Business Review editors, Fast Company magazine was founded on a single premise: A global revolution was changing business, and business was changing the world.

My article "Let's See That Again!" for The Age of Conversation book, is a simple formula to create remarkable conversations from your remarkable corporate video.The Age of Conversation will certainly be remembered as a ground-breaking book in the publishing world.Inspired by Drew McLellan and Gavin Heaton, over 100 writers, creatives, innovators and thought leaders each wrote a short article on the art of conversation in light of the new media landscape in front of us.If ideas are the currency of our times then this is, undoubtedly, the Age of Conversation, for without the art of dialog, the cut and thrust of debate and discussion, then the economy of ideas would implode under its own heavy weight. Instead, the reverse is true. Far from seeing an implosion, we are living in a time of proliferation - ideas build upon ideas, discussion grows from seeds of thought and single headlines give rise to a thousand medusa-like simulations echoing words whispered somewhere on the other side of the planet. All this - in an instant. In what began as a half dare, the editors, Gavin Heaton and Drew McLellan challenged bloggers around the world to contribute one page - 400 words - on the topic of "conversation". The resulting book, The Age of Conversation, brings together over 100 of the world's leading marketers, writers, thinkers and creative innovators in a ground-breaking and unusual publication.
