Spiritually Intelligent Leadership is your guide to achieving these goals and transforming your leadership from the inside out.

Turbo Charge Your Emotional Intelligence with the Power of Spiritual Intelligence

Spiritual intelligence (SI) is not about religious beliefs or fleeting spiritual experience moments. Rather SI is the highest and fullest expression of our life force energy and sacred spark of life that naturally arises from connecting and rooting ourselves in our spirit essence, whereby we feel inner-, inter-, and ultra-connected, connected to ourselves, connected to others, and connected to the sacred and transcendent dimension of life. It is from there we are able to draw on, and embody timeless virtues such as passionate purpose, compassionate service, integrity, presence, humility, and joy-qualities revered by wisdom traditions across the world. By developing your SI, you can profoundly impact your relationships and environment, fostering more connected and inspired teams and communities in your life and work.

About the Author

Yosi began his leadership journey in the Israeli military where he received numerous awards and garnered the fastest promotion record in his regiment’s history. Despite these accomplishments, the military chafed at his soul, sowing the seeds of his quest for more humane leadership.

Following the military, Yosi earned a BS and MS at MIT, and an MBA from Harvard. Later, he became the founder and CEO of two tech companies, both of which he led through successful IPOs.

Then, as CEO of a public company with a rising stock price, Yosi experienced a psychospiritual breakdown, catapulting him into a spiritual awakening. Suddenly realizing the truth of our interconnectedness, he put his life on a fresh trajectory.

Back at school, earning a PhD in clinical psychology, Yosi developed the first research-grounded theory and measure of spiritual intelligence along with a model for Spiritually Intelligent Leadership. This research has received over a thousand citations to date.

As a therapist and leadership coach, Yosi has supported over 100 CEOs as they built organizations, led thousands of employees, and reached annual revenues in the billions, all while increasing their happiness, power, and effectiveness as leaders in their work and personal lives.
