Why Mindful Leadership?
“Trust is in fact earned in the smallest of moments. It is earned not through heroic deeds, or even highly visible actions, but through paying attention, listening, and gestures of genuine care and connection.” – Brené Brown, Dare to Lead: Brave Work. Tough Conversations. Whole Hearts.
With so much change, uncertainty and shifting work patterns, it’s hard to know what ‘normal’ will ever look like again. Our precarious world impacts how everyone is feeling. Today’s leaders need to be skilled in managing their own emotions and caring for themselves so that they can ‘show up’ for the people they influence. That means being flexible, attentive and genuinely caring, fostering a sense of connection and openness across their organisation.
The research is very clear; Human beings need environments where they feel psychologically safe and have nurturing relationships to fully engage and do their best work. However, these are the very skills that many who occupy leadership positions lack and neglect in this ‘always on’, 24/7 working environment.

Participants say
Emotionally Intelligent Leaders Foster Wholehearted Engagement
Mindful Leadership Training promotes more attentiveness and calm…
“I am more present in meetings and conversations. I am more relaxed and more focused on the current task. It’s like I got in touch with myself ‘under the surface’. I realise that the practice really helps to calm my mind and settle me.”
After training, leaders are better listeners and able to respond positively…
“I got a lot of new insights, about how essential it is to step back to see clearly… also to empower others. I listen more and stay open to new ideas, engage more proactively and sow positive expectations in the team.”
Most importantly, leaders report feeling more humane, and empathetic…
“I see people as whole entities, rather than just roles and I’m more aware of what’s involved if you want to bring people along with you, less direction, more listening and leading. I understand why empathy matters and it impacts everyone.”
