You'll come away with new ways to think about your work experience that will help you find your way towards new levels of workplace satisfaction. Bill helps people deepen their connection to Spirit and wake up to the aliveness possible in each moment. He has studied eastern spirituality as well as contemplative Christianity for over 25 years.
