Dr Inmaculada Yorno

Dr Inmaculada Adarves-Yorno is a mindfulness researcher, practitioner and trainer. She is also a TEDx speaker who talks about “Using Mindfulness to Move Forward”. As an academic and practitioner Inma has specialized in what is ‘underneath the surface’. She has worked as a CEO advisor, Human Resources manager, coach and leadership developer. For over ten years she has been working with a range of managers and leaders and has witnessed the contradictions between their inner and outer lives. One of her latest work revolves around both developing the next generation of authentic leaders (change agents) and understanding their tensions and paradoxes. She has found that Mindfulness is paramount to deal with daily tensions and it’s the perfect way to “come back to ourselves”. In her latest project, she is using mindfulness and mindful leaders’ identity to transform the Kenyan Prison Services from the inside out. Currently, she is based at the Exeter Centre for Leadership, University of Exeter Business School.
