Looking. Up (:-)

Somatics & Embodiment – just because you know better, doesn’t necessarily mean you can do better.

Just because there’s intellectual understanding, doesn’t mean it will lead to new action under pressure…

Is what you’re practicing in you life aligned with your values?

Transformation isn’t just an idea, it’s a lived, felt experience.

By learning to tolerate uncomfortability, and vulnerability..

We practice, we practice, we practice, and then at some point it clicks.

1) You are what you practice.

2) You’re always practicing something.

3) Is what you’re practicing in alignment with what you care about / your values?

How can we be of support?

The connection between the mind & body.

Head. Heart. Intuition :)

Can we act from a place where these are all in alignment at the same time?

Moment to Arrive

An invitation to look into out own experience.

The quality of attention that you’re able to share with other people.

In order to endeavor to lead others, you have to know how to lead yourself.

A capacity we all possess for mindfulness.

Marshal arts is like meditation in motion.

Organizational Psychologist / Learning & Development.

A passion project.

Mindful, wise, compassionate leadership.

How our sense of purpose aligns with our actions in the world….

Journaling Activity / My Personal Notes:

What is your purpose? (My answer) To be kind & real with everyone that crosses my path, and do good work out in the world i.e. make it a more fair place for everyone, while respecting & taking care of myself and my boundaries.

What’s most alive for you?

What are your highest aspirations?

Traditionally, leadership is an office that you occupy, and you salute the rank.

But that’s just a person..

Leadership is an inside out job.

It starts with knowing yourself.

Leadership begins with mindfulness & self-compassion, and ends with compassion out in the world;

It begins from within, with ones own world view and mindset…

And once you are liberated without the compulsion to respond when listening…. and are actually listening to understand, rather than drive your agenda or problem solve… Well that’s wonderful (:-)

But the world drives us away from this.

Are we really occupying our own lives?

We have the freedom to assign whatever meaning we like to our experiences (interesting / still not sure how I feel about this).

Given the cost of admission to the school of hard-knocks is high, (it seems to behoove us to practice).

Creating gently structured spaces..

How might you offer a gently structured space to somebody?

Good Book Recs: Radical Acceptance by Tara Brach, Self-Compassion by Kristin Neff, Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert

There’s a bit of an urban myth out there that being mindful makes you passive..

But mindfulness actually allows you to be less reactive, and more responsive.

Rather than reacting to the narrative you happen to believe

Working with the facts of a situation vs. the stories we tell ourselves.

It might look a little unconventional, and your organization might be conventional…

Jeff Weiner – compassionate is the singular most important quality of good leadership.

Jeff = voted top 10 on Glass Door.
