Why attend?
In a world that constantly demands more of our time, energy, and attention, bestselling author, Oliver Burkeman, offers a radically refreshing alternative: what if we stopped trying to do it all, and embraced the power of doing less, with intention?
Join us, in partnership with Aird & Berlis LLP, on June 3rd at 5:00pm, for an exclusive evening with Oliver Burkeman, the celebrated author of Four Thousand Weeks and now, Meditations For Mortals; his newest work exploring how to thrive not despite, but within the chaos of modern life. The first 60 people to register will receive a complimentary copy of Oliver's new book.
Through engaging storytelling, philosophical insight, and deeply practical reflection, Oliver will guide us through a powerful framework of “imperfectionism”, a mindset that helps high-performing leaders live and lead more meaningfully, even when the inbox is full, the pressure is high, and certainty is elusive.
This event is for growth-minded leaders who want to reclaim focus, renew energy, and reframe success in a world that never stops spinning. Expect deep insights, honest conversation, and a few laughs, all in the company of fellow executives and entrepreneurs navigating the same terrain.
Our in-person event, tailored specifically for CEOs and senior executives, will begin with a networking reception and keynote with Oliver Burkeman. The evening will conclude with another networking reception, providing an opportunity to connect with the PEO Leadership community.
Registration closes at 11:00PM EST on June 1st. Space is limited and only those who register will be able to attend. For more information, contact our head of marketing and events, Joanna Thommee at jthommee@peo-leadership.com

Meditation For Mortals
Meditation For Mortals
What if the time is never coming when you’re ‘on top of things’, or finally feel like you know what you’re doing?
Meditations for Mortals is about stepping into a more meaningful, productive, absorbing and energizing life – not later, but right here in the midst of the overwhelm, the distraction, and the anxiety-inducing news headlines.
Its four weeks of digestible dailyish chapters – reflecting on quotations from philosophy, religion, literature and self-help – outline the practical philosophy of ‘imperfectionism’, offering an action-oriented, profound yet entertaining crash course in thriving as a finite human.
