Why IOSM?

We are a non-profit association of executives, coaches, and educators dedicated to translating emerging neuroscience into high-impact workplace solutions. Through rigorous research and specialized education, we help organizations build critical neural skills in human wellbeing, cognitive performance, and emotional intelligence—that drive effective leadership, human performance, and sustainable organizational growth.

Why Now?

Organizations are introducing massive AI integration, with workforce dissatisfaction, disengagement, and burnout already at record levels. Conventional training is no longer enough to bridge the gap. IOSM leverages neuroscience to provide advanced mental and emotional development, ensuring that as technology accelerates, our human capacity keeps pace.

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.
