The Power of Mindfulness

Thu, 10 Sep 2026 9:00 AM – 9:30 AM SGT Forum 1

How do we stop and listen to what each moment needs, rather than getting stuck on autopilot?

About this session

The state of our mind impacts everything we do. When we are dysregulated, we tend to make poor decisions. When we are regulated, we see more clearly and can respond more wisely to any situation.

Mindfulness, the practice of paying attention to the present moment, is one of the most important tools we can cultivate to wisely engage with the world. It can help us cultivate greater focus, clarity, and resilience in both our personal and professional lives.

In this special session, Soren Gordhamer, General Partner at Wisdom Ventures and founder of Wisdom 2.0, will lead a short mindfulness practice and share lessons from his work bringing mindfulness to executives at Google, incarcerated youth in New York City, and educators in Rwanda.

He will offer practical practices for cultivating clarity, resilience, and wise action, especially for those working to create positive impact in the world. We will explore how our inner world, our inner state, impacts the work we do in the world.
