Mentora LIFE Talk Series featuring Melissa Bernstein: In-Person

Mentora offers a scientific pathway for character and leadership development rooted in a simple yet profound idea — that within each of us lies a space of highest potential, our inner core, and it is when we activate this core in ourselves and others that we create our greatest impact and bring positive, lasting change in the world.What is your inner core?The inner core is not an abstract idea; it is a deeply felt state that we enter by regulating our thoughts, feelings, mindsets, and intentions.Nor is it a new idea; mystics across the ages have engaged in contemplative practices to connect with what they have intuited as their spirit or soul and to express its qualities in their outer pursuits.Fifteen years ago, our founder’s research identified five energies we all possess at our core. Today, findings across many scientific disciplines are validating the transformative possibilities in life and leadership of tapping into these five energies — Purpose, Wisdom, Growth, Love, and Self-realization.At Mentora, we are dedicated to helping people build fulfilling lives and become exemplary leaders by cultivating their five core energies to harmonize their inner and outer worlds, so they can operate with authenticity while maximizing their impact in a complicated, ever-changing world.
