I have just listened to an exciting Podcast by Daniel Goleman (the author and leading researcher of Emotional Intelligence) where he interviews John Kabat Zinn who is known internationally for his research within the subject field of Mindfulness.
By simply following and practicing the simple principles of being Mindful you will achieve astounding results as an individual and as a leader.
Simply remember to stay 'on purpose' with the intention of paying attention at all times! This is linked to being in the present moment. The only moment you can actually live and be in is the present moment, so train your mind not to wander into the past or the future! Bring your awareness back to 'now' and as your mind wanders again keep bringing it back to 'now', practicing this more and more will develop this crucial discipline. Always remember to thank yourself every time you have the experience of bringing your mind back to 'now'.
Become 'non-judgemental' instead of judgemental. In order to be judgemental you first have to think about being judgemental, so focus your mind instead on being non-judgemental!
Being truly Mindful is not about just thinking it's core lies in Self Awareness, a natural process for the Mindful person at all times. The beauty of being a responsible and Mindful Leader is that you are present in the current moment giving your full heartfelt attention at all times! With this wisdom, integrity and true sense of being you will have an amazing impact upon individuals in your organisation as they will feel truly valued and listened to by your exceptional newly found skills.
At Different Dynamics we are proud to be developing a new Personal Leadership programme that will be incorporating the principles and practice of being Mindful to achieve extraordinary results.
