Catherine Pastille

The Mastering the Business of Life™ professional development series blends Dr. Pastille’s extensive experience in wellness and organizational performance with best practices in mental focus and energy revitalization. Catherine is recognized for her innovative approach to turning daily tasks, chores and projects – what she calls the business of life – into opportunities to practice executive awareness skills. Trained in western approaches to leadership and well-being (Ph.D. MBA and MA) and eastern-based approaches to stress reduction and energy revitalization (mindfulness, Reiki Jin Kei Do and Tai Chi Chuan), Catherine integrates her knowledge of both traditions in the workshops and private lessons she offers. Dr. Pastille is the CEO and Founder of The Global Awareness Initiative in Rhode Island, USA. She teaches management at Providence College and the University of Massachusetts-Boston, and offers Mastering the Business of Life ™ workshops and private lessons internationally.
