The Course in Practical Mindfulness for Senior Leaders
Practical Mindfulness & Effective Leadership
An Invitation to a Transformative Cohort for Senior Leaders
Even when we do our absolute best as managers, we sometimes find ourselves at an "impasse". We try to apply yet another theory or model, but something in our actions remains unchanged.
I invite you to join me for a series of eight transformative sessions of inquiry, aimed at enhancing our leadership. This course is an opportunity to think, examine, experiment, and practice how the nature of our mind affects who we are and our actions in those moments when we seek to lead.
It is a journey of discovery into the sources of our being and our performance, by the end, we will know our minds better and gain practical tools to improve our leadership in daily life and at work.
-
Mindfulness and the "Operating System": We will explore the link between Mindfulness - the direct observation of the nature of experience - and uncovering our internal "operating system" to enhance our leadership capacity.
-
Acquainting with the Mind: We will gain direct access to the nature of our mind, the only tool through which we operate in the world. We will observe the turbulent nature of thoughts, our attachment to what arises in consciousness, what we call "Self," and how these dynamics impact our daily leadership.
-
A Unique Leadership Model: We will learn a unique model that provides direct access to our being and our actions, restoring our freedom of action when we lead.
-
Practicing "On the Court": We will move beyond theoretical information to practice conscious choice in the face of life's leadership circumstances.
With over twenty years of dedicated experience in human resources, coaching, and executive training, I bring a strong academic foundation and a deep commitment to the practice and teaching of mindful leadership.
I am also an avid student of Buddhism and the Bhagavad Gita, drawing ongoing inspiration from these traditions in both my personal and professional journey.
In my leadership work, I am influenced by the teachings of:
-
Natalie Ben David, whose E-motion School equipped me with the tools to study, investigate, observe, and deeply understand the self.
-
Werner Erhard, whose work on leadership and transformation has been instrumental in shaping my approach.
-
Sam Harris, whose teachings on mindfulness have further enriched my understanding and daily practice.
-
The Bhagavad Gita, whose ancient wisdom I have been studying as a lifelong learner - exploring its teachings on self-inquiry, duty, and the nature of the mind as a living guide for leadership and daily life

WHAT PEOPLE SAY
This course is probably the most significant one I have ever participated in my life. It changed many things in my personal and professional life. I feel more in control, and have a better understanding of my life and my behaviors, especially in terms of my choice of how to react to what happens in reality, most of the time…
I also see how my environment reacts accordingly.
We called it the "Gift Workshop," and indeed, it was a great gift!
Moran, VP HR
It was fascinating, thought-provoking, enlightening, and eye-opening! I have adopted several wonderful tools for the journey ahead, and I am already implementing them. I am eagerly waiting for the follow-up workshop.
Yonati, VP HR
As someone who has been involved in human resources for over 20 years, I didn't think there was anything new to learn for me. I joined the course mainly out of curiosity and immense appreciation for Ella. We had 8 fascinating, enlightening, interesting, and thought-provoking meetings.
The course addresses the topic of leadership not just as a set of practical tools that we need to acquire, but as a personal journey that generates a real change. We engaged in an internal and external introspection about ourselves and our environment and gained a new perspective on who we are as leaders and how we can change and improve. Thanks to the unique process, even a 'professional and conscious audience' of human resource managers and consultants were able to learn and grow.
Ella led the group with the professionalism and thoroughness characteristic of her, with attentiveness, openness, and sensitivity. It was one of the most thought-provoking, practical, and interesting courses I have experienced.
Sigal, Strategic & Organizational Consultant
A superbly high-quality, profound, and enriching course. In the course, we delved into the subject of 'Being a Leader,' types of listening, authenticity, integrity, and the constraints we have as leaders and managers.
The course was conducted sensitively and wisely, providing examples from our world as human resource managers/directors, and intellectually and philosophically deepening our understanding of what a Leader is and what their role is in an organization and in life in general. This course was very different from any other course I have participated in and it has had and still has a real impact on who I am and what I do as a leader in the organization, as well as on my ability to provide advices to managers in my organization.
Gabby, Operations Manager
Ella's course is thought-provoking and inspiring from many aspects, both professionally and personally. The meetings raise self-awareness and highlight the possibilities we have in interpreting situations and behavior patterns. I feel that the new understandings are advancing me to act more effectively as a leader in the organization. The course was conducted through our own internal work, on ourselves, in our everyday lives. It deals with dilemmas that we as human resource professionals or leaders in general, regularly face, accompanied by relevant examples of different response methods. In the meetings, Ella presented condensed and precise theoretical material, which we explored and examined on ourselves, and we saw how these are expressed in our world. The meetings were particularly successful and very beneficial to me.
