THIS EXPERIENCE IS FREE TO ORGANIZATIONS SENDING 4 OR MORE PEOPLE TO THE 2026 LDP SUMMIT. Don’t have a full team? You’re still very welcome to join - please register below. Members save 20% off registration. Already a member? Login here You’re about to take in a flood of ideas and inspiration at the LDP Summit — but before the learning begins, take a moment to pause and reset. Through nature, mindfulness, movement, reflection, and teamwork, you and your colleagues will step away from your daily overstimulation, and the demands of developing others, for an intentional reset with mindful pragmatist Shawntà Hooks. This pre-conference experience is a rare chance to slow down, breathe, play, and reconnect as a team. You’ll leave calm, focused, resilient, and energized — ready to absorb more from the conference and contribute fully to your organization, without carrying the stress of travel or workload into the room. Skeptical about mindfulness? See firsthand how practical and powerful it can be. Why Bring Your Full Early Talent Team to this Experience? Early talent teams rarely get a chance to pause together. Beyond all of the ideas and connections they'll get at the Summit, this pre-conference session offers a shared reset — an opportunity to shed the noise, reconnect, and start the conference aligned, energized, and ready to learn. You’ll rebuild cohesion and strengthen communication, surfacing insights that typical meetings rarely allow and restoring the shared purpose that can get lost in constant delivery. By stepping into a guided, practical mindfulness experience together, your team will model the growth you cultivate in others while experiencing firsthand how reflection, focus, and connection enhance performance.
