The Founder

Hey there, I'm Steven Onana—thanks for taking the time to dive into the ZenWorkspace.org movement.

My professional journey over the past twenty years has been a wild mix of highs, lows, and plenty of lessons learned along the way. From navigating the corporate world as a new immigrant, to running my own startup, and later discovering the transformative power of mindfulness, each step has brought me closer to my purpose: helping others reclaim peace and power in their workspaces.

I started ZenWorkspace.org because I’ve seen, from all angles, just how toxic and chaotic the workplace can become. Over the years, I’ve worn a lot of hats—tech support engineer, corporate sales, team manager, entrepreneur—and in each role, across different industries and levels, I’ve witnessed how these environments take a toll, not just on performance but on mental well-being. I get it because I’ve lived it.

But what struck me even more is that many of us aren’t even interested in "climbing the corporate ladder" anymore. We're searching for something deeper, something meaningful that aligns with who we are. We want to do great work, but we also want to feel good while doing it. That's the driving force behind ZenWorkspace.org—creating spaces where we can not only survive but thrive.

And in a world where artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming the job landscape the importance of being human at work has never been clearer. In the rise of AI, it is empathy, emotional intelligence, creativity, and our very humanness that will set us apart. Now, more than ever, we need to foster workspaces that nurture these qualities, helping us stay grounded while the world around us shifts.

So whether you're a manager looking to create a better environment for your team, or someone who just wants to find balance in the daily grind, I'm here to help. Together, we can reshape the future of work, where peace, purpose, and productivity coexist.

Let’s start a revolution together.

With Gratitude!
