Why IOSM?

We're a non-profit membership association of human capital and operating leaders, executive coaches, well-being professionals and educators. Our programs—community membership, research, education, and events—develop the neural skills that power leadership, human performance, and organizational growth.

Why Now?

AI disruption is adding fear and uncertainty to already record levels of workplace dissatisfaction, disengagement, and burnout. The bad news is we can't solve this with the tools we're using today. The good news is that neuroscience is surfacing new ways to counter these challenges through transformative training for workplace mental and emotional skills.

Community

The OM Network

The Organizational Mindfulness Network (OMN) is our global community platform for IOSM members and beyond. We welcome everyone interested in the convergence of neuroscience, leadership, and work.
 
Free Community Membership unlocks hand-curated research and insights—access to our global network of colleagues and experts—and communities of interest in neuroscience, neural practices, and their applications for personal, leadership, and workforce development.

Our Members Are Saying

Practical and Actionable Steps

IOSM breaks the huge topic of mindfulness (both personal and in organizations) into practical and actionable lessons and steps, with great access to support and practice. The classes are outstanding, and offer plenty of time for discussion as well as practice. I highly recommend the IOSM curriculum, especially for integration in the workplace.

Tremendous Value Going Forward

IOSM's Organizational Mindfulness methodologies are designed to advance individual as well as organizational development. The science-anchored method of training in the practices presents a western approach that feels natural in the workplace. Importantly, the Institute's work will be of tremendous value going forward.
