Kerene Strochnetter is the Managing Director of Mindful at Work, a business hell-bent on making the M-words cool in the workplace - mindfulness and meditation. She’s also a sort after public speaker with a clear message - if busy is the new stupid, then mindful is the new smart! Karen wants to get the message out: that mindfulness isn’t just limited to meditating but includes a set of robust well-researched practices, which when implemented, powerfully impact people’s lives and positively change workplace culture. Her new book ‘Crazy Busy’ targets people suffering from the relentless pace of modern life - people who struggle to switch off and are looking for effective strategies to help to reconnect with what really matters - their lives, their work, and the people close to them. Karen's professional background includes Registered Nurse, Principal Lecturer, Academic Leader, Executive Coach, Career Management Consultant, and Mindfulness Teacher. She holds both undergrad and post-graduate degrees but believes academic qualifications are terribly overrated. She’s more interested in who you are as a person and you become the best you can be. Kerene has two adult sons and two grandsons. She enjoys minimalist apartment living, walking along the waterfront in the fabulous city of Wellington, writing, yoga (a bit of a fanatic really!), reading, movies, spending time with her family, and sharing good coffee and excellent red wine with her friends. She has a passion for nice shoes and is known (somewhat infamously) for her shoe collection.

Elizabeth Ross is a natural entrepreneur, connector, and systems change architect. People often say that she brings calm and joy to the room. Elizabeth is a true explorer and loves to find solutions that improve the human experience. From a very young age, she had to branch out on her own because of family circumstances. That path has created who she is today and is what fuels her passion for life. Elizabeth observed that we are on the cusp of a paradigm shift in how we do business several years ago. For a long time, colleagues would question these insights or say that “the world isn’t ready”. In her experience, that is not true. The world is ready. Our children and grandchildren are ready; we are ready to align our work with our hearts and with nature. The words love, soul, and spirit absolutely belong in the workplace. Why would any human being want to work for a business or company that is not invested in humanity? She is a singer/songwriter and a charity auctioneer.  She has helped raised over $1M for her favorite charities in the past 20 years, including Riding to The Top-Therapeutic Riding Center, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Ronald McDonald House, Outward Bound, One Longfellow Square, Portland Ovations, and Girl Scouts. Outside of work, Elizabeth finds balance through the family, community, meditating in the woods, cooking, singing, mountain biking, and quarry swimming along the coast of Maine. Please enjoy!
