Pioneers of Contemplative Practice in Business: A Phenomenological Study
Rhonda K. Rodgers, Vanessa L. Kettering, Jeremy P. Hunter
Over time, contemplative practice becomes an experiential framework for daily life, informing and influencing life choices in both personal and professional domains. This finding comes from a phenomenological study of American businesspeople with an ongoing contemplative practice. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 29 executives, managers, and career professionals, and follow-up interviews 15 years later with 7 of the original participants are the focus of this second wave.
