More and more the business industry will have to consider what the Japanese had discovered a while ago, that the employees and CEOs, CFOs, equally should manage their level of stress for the good of all and the Industry. Marcelo Weiss's class illustrated this need through his own experience of 32 years in Corporate America and his personal life as well (this was an exceptional right touch to make his class even more interesting). The Executive Reset Lab brings the idea of meditation as a tool to be used right there where the action takes place.
