Thanks to all of you who have followed, contributed, inspired, and visited this blog over the past few years.
As you know, I initially created the blog to serve as a place to explore the connections between mindfulness, spirituality, science, and leadership…with the stimulus initially based on a dialogue circle called "The Vedantic Leadership Forum".
You've probably noticed that, compared to my earliest posts, the content of the blog has crept more than slightly to encompass much more than this.
As life, experiences, new learnings, and new interests have evolved for me, I've struggled with how best to adapt the blog to incorporate this broader focus…while still hanging on to the initial focus which is still near and dear to me.
Music, art, design, and a certain brashness are aspects of the blog that, in particular, I've felt difficult to incorporate. In addition, my growing fondness of Twitter and other types of posting methods (video, quotes, audio, and images) have forced me to re-think my approach.
Given this context, it's probably no surprise that the posts here have been somewhat sparse, to say the least, over the past year. While some may call it procrastination, it's truly been time spent in reflection, exploration, and challenging myself.
So what's the outcome of all this reflection/procrastination? I've decided that it's time to retire "The Soul of Leadership" as a blog. But it's not an end. I like to think of it as part of the cycle of creation & destruction that is part of all life. It's about reinvention. (And I'd encourage you to do the same on a regular basis!)
I've created a new blog, called /SynapticShift with a new focus, design, and platform to reflect and incorporate these broader interests…while keeping the best of the past. "The Soul of Leadership" will remain up for all to reference for a while, but don't expect any new posts here….the fresh content will be at /SynapticShift.
What can you expect at /SynapticShift?
Thanks for your support, and I hope you'll join me on the next adventure. It'll blow your mind!

What can you expect at /SynapticShift?
- A fresh new look, and a platform designed to share with you the random and assorted gems of information that cross my path throughout the day (that currently get lost before they're posted). Hosting by Tumblr provides a much better way for me to get great content to you in line with my lifestyle. You should check it out.
- Ideas and links that are designed to shift your thinking, with content designed for leaders of our generation. Expect more than just blog posts, but also music, video, podcasts, downloads, quotes, design, art, and photography. After all, these media do shift our thinking in different and powerful ways too!
- Incorporation of Web 2.0 and Social Media Tools. It'll be easier for you to share content with others, as well as to connect with others. I'll also be linking to my Twitter profile more directly.
And, specifically, what will the focus of content be? The content will be of interest to leaders of our generation, designed to help by touching on some key areas. Here's an incomplete list that will give you an idea of what to expect:
- Life: Mindfulness & Spirituality, Lifehacks, Simplcity
- Business & Management: Trends & Cutting Edge Ideas in Leadership & Management
- Science: Leadership Insights from Neuroscience, Health, Psychology and Other Fields
- Connecting: Complex Adaptive Systems, Dialogue, Social Networking
- Learning: Personal and Organizational Learning, New Ideas & Hacks
