What’s Zen@Work About?

Zen@Work helps you bring your full Presence to Purposeful work every day.

Becoming fully Present is the domain of Zen practice, a discipline that I have been consciously engaged with for over 30 years.

Discovering and manifesting Purposeful work is the project of each person in the context of their individual karma: their experiences, skills, interests and — most importantly — their values, vows and intentions.

Why subscribe?

This newsletter gives you practices, principles and my personal experiences (full of mistakes and hard-won learnings!) to help you on this path.

I constantly strive to channel the spirit of Zen in this newsletter, with its brevity, humor and grounding in the every day. Zen finds the extraordinary in the ordinary.

I offer Coaching Programs and Workshops, which I mention on occasion in the newsletter. Newsletters go out 2-3 times per week.

A little about me

I’ve had a daily meditation practice and monthly retreat practice for 30 years. After receiving formal teaching transmission in my Zen lineage in 2015, I founded the Eon Zen Center in Boulder, CO, where I live. I lead a community of 50+ students and practitioners, with daily group meditations, weekly dharma talks and monthly retreats.

My professional path over the last few decades has taken me from kitchens to classrooms to Founders Chairs and Board Rooms. I co-founded two tech startups (in 2000 and 2014) and served as CEO of the second. I’ve been developing the practices and principles of Zen@Work throughout this time, and offer them in this newsletter and also at the Zen@Work site.

I’m happy to connect with you on LinkedIn or Facebook.

I live in Boulder with my partner Aria and her five kids.

Ask me a question!

I love to get questions from readers…. if you would like my perspective on how to stay Present — mindfulness, meditation, whatever you call it — or on how to discover and serve your deepest Purpose, email me at paul@zenatwork.org. I’ll share my thoughts in a future newsletter if I have anything I feel might be of value.
