Beena Sharma brings significant international experience in facilitating leadership and organizational development training. She co- designs, implements and anchors large scale organizational change efforts, and is currently the head of Development and Training at Magellan, a major health organization. She contributes her expertise as a insightful facilitator and her mastery in polarity management to the LMF-intensives. Workshop participants admire her boundless energy, clarity, and deep, caring attention.

Here Beena talks about her own background and developmental journey, describing her experiences growing up in a culturally and politically divided India.  She also shares her own path to the Integral vision, which began with a passionate fascination with education and the process of learning, leading to Beena's involvement with one of the most cutting-edge educational programs in India.  From there she began to encounter much of the complexity that Integral theory was itself designed to resolve, accelerating her own growth through the spiral of personal and professional development.

Eleanor Roosevelt once said that "poor minds discuss people, average minds discuss events, and great minds discuss ideas."  Integral minds, we might add, discuss all three.  In the Integral Profiles series, host Jeff Salzman sits down with some of today's most notable thinkers, teachers, and leaders, discussing the many ways they are catalyzing the Integral vision in their lives, in their hearts, and in their work.  These men and women are collectively defining the leading edge of evolution in today's world, their thoughts and actions actively influencing the shape and scope of tomorrow's possibilities.
