Mindful executives

Words like “mindfulness” have become commonplace in business and tech. Numerous studies demonstrate how mindfulness practices enhance focus, reduce stress, and improve performance.

But what if you could go deeper?

You may have also heard about “somatic awareness” and “emotional intelligence“—but hearing about these concepts and implementing them are very different things.

In my own journey, I went from having almost no ability to track my emotions and sensations to developing the capacity to tune into the most subtle nuances in ways that instantly alert me to triggers and insights. This transformation has made both my clients and myself stronger sensemakers, decision-makers, leaders, and partners.

In this workshop, you’ll learn to access the rich world of information flowing constantly—but often quietly—through your bodily sensations and emotions.

Using these skills, you’ll be able to catch yourself in patterns of poor habits, ineffective communication, clouded sensemaking, and reactive decision-making, and then consciously shift to what actually works.
