S. Yanling DUAN
“I work with pioneers who are building something that matters——and helps them reconnect vision with presence, ambition with responsibility, and innovation with the conditions required for human life to flourish.
Founder of HeARTech Group and the author of The Art of Presence.
The Art of Presence is Yanling Duan’s evolving body of writing, inquiry and practice: How can a person remain inwardly connected while participating fully in a demanding and rapidly changing world?
Over time, the inquiry expanded. Presence became not only an inner state, but a capacity to perceive systems, understand relationships, hold complexity, make responsible decisions and create environments in which life can flourish.
