As the Chief People Officer at Flatiron Health, I firmly believe that the difference between companies that merely survive and companies that truly flourish are those that invest in building a resilient culture. 

Mandala has been one of the most powerful investments we’ve made into our workplace. From our managers, to our BIPOC employees, to our entire workforce, this is the kind of programming which can move the needle on psychological safety, well-being and ultimately resilience. I’ve heard feedback from participants like, “this has changed how I interact with my kids,” or it’s “given me a moment of pause before I reacted.” That’s why I got into this work – to create an employee experience that actually meets the needs of people. - Chante Butler, former Head of DEI at Flatiron Health

Management should be as much about the long-term as it is the short-term. Not only because that’s the right way of building a company, but because there’s a huge financial ROI to doing so. I see Mandala as central in operationalizing a long-term strategy for companies like ours, helping us attract and retain talent.

"Mandala’s Resilient Leadership program has been one of the most powerful interventions I’ve been exposed to in the workplace, changing how I work with my team and the people around me. One of the challenges I’ve had in my career is learning how to have difficult conversations. I find that now, I’ve been able to understand how to communicate in a way that’s both direct, and empathetic of people’s experiences. Every manager or leader in the workplace would benefit from what Mandala has to offer.” – Irene Nunes, former VP of Global Regulatory Affairs

As the company's chief operating officer. I’m focused on making sure we create a sustainable business model. And like any senior leader at the company, I’m responsible for making sure we are building a culture that supports our mission and ideals. Mandala helps us do both.
