David Gelles, New York Times business reporter, author of Mindful Work
Mindfulness is suddenly a buzz word on everyone’s lips, but what does it actually mean, is it useful, or is it just another fad?
Join this Google Hangout as David Gelles, author of Mindful Work, talks to Donald H Taylor, chairman of the Learning Technologies Conference. A financial journalist for the New York Times, David spent two years travelling the US talking to businesses that employ mindfulness techniques, investigating their impact on productivity and employee wellness.
