Laura Bakosh
Laura's mindfulness practice began in 1993, as a way to manage long hours, stress and travel, while a General Manager at GE Healthcare. A few years later, she implemented mindfulness within her team. Record sales volume, reduced turnover and boosted morale were all linked to the mindfulness training. The key challenge was sustaining a daily practice. After 25 years in management and sales, Laura merged her business acumen with her commitment to personal awareness and co-founded Inner Explorer. She inspires PK-12th grade students (and their teachers) to develop the habit of being mindful through an audio-guided sequence of daily practices in the classroom. In addition to a Bachelors degree from Boston College and both Masters and PhD from Sofia University, she was trained as a Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) instructor through the Center for Mindfulness at the University of Massachusetts. Laura is an author, researcher and speaker on mindfulness and learning.
