Why do successful leaders
value wisdom?
MEA believes that wise leaders create more resilient and innovative organizations, full of emotional intelligence and wellbeing. It is the internal wisdom practices that help wise leaders ensure their organizations learn from their past to create a flourishing future. And, a wise organization is dedicated to diversity, not because it’s politically correct, but because inclusive teams - especially those that foster intergenerational collaboration - are more effective.
This was a beautiful journey that has come to an end, unfortunately.
The program was spectacular. It really surpassed my expectations. I was really surprised about how the course was curated. There was such a warm intensity and personal touch to it.

MEA is for anyone who wants to live with greater purpose and gratitude.
I experienced MEA as a newly diagnosed multiple myeloma cancer patient, and as a result of the things I’ve learned - I’ve banished the anxiety of being a cancer victim, am in remission, and living with a newfound energy and purpose.

Thank you and all at MEA for the amazing program you have put together.
I am a "sem-rewired" facilitator, adjunct professor at a German university, and this is the first online course that is 'done right'. You have taken this to a new level that I love!! Kudos and many, many thanks!

Just know how grateful I am for the joy fuel you all put in my rocket ship. When I want to feel loved or just need a good smile I can think of my time at MEA, which came at the perfect time to encourage me on my journey. Thank you!
