Elena Olascoaga

I aspire to be a self-reflective leader that accepts both positive and afflictive emotions involved in the path of leadership. I want to be a leader that inspires compassion as a practice to relate to all (myself, allies and detractors), who holds the space for self-reflection, and who promotes contemplative practices as a way to deepen into self-awareness.

The project aims to accelerate the access of mindfulness practices to women of low educational background and with low household income in order to provide intangible resources that could help them to cope with afflictive emotions.
