March 12, 2018 by Beth Kanter Leave a Comment

Last month I was lucky enough to run into Maia Duerr who participated in Wake's Tech2EmpowerUSA at a workshop I was facilitating on the Happy Healthy Nonprofit. Maia Duerr recently published a book called "Work that Matters: Create a Livelihood that Reflects Your Core Intention." Given our mutual interests, we had a lot to share about mindfulness and well being. A writer, consultant, and coach, Maia Duerr draws on her decades of Zen practice and training in anthropology to create powerful … [Read more...]
