Zenji Nio
With Prime Ministers, Cabinet Ministers, Ambassadors, Mayors, Governors of Canada, India and across the world...
Zen has lectured alongside many national and global leaders to make a real difference in a bi-partisan and non-political manner. Leadership and public service are themes that can cut across divisions and political aisles. Nio's work has therefore earned bi-partisan support from all those who believe in the spirit of hope and compassion.
