Being a leader in today’s society is an incredible challenge.
Due to our society’s infatuation with distraction and the self-perpetuating cycle of busyness, the demands placed on leaders today are unsustainable. By placing emphasis on “hard work” and “success” as leading to wealth and business accomplishment, we have failed to create and model an appropriate hierarchy of prioritization that emphasizes healthy balance, peace of mind and sustainable happiness.
To find sustainable practices that support individuals and organizations both personally and professionally, we need a broader lens. This means a perspective or process that encourages mitigation of stress through mindfulness – the powerful practice of presence that’s imperative for leaders in today’s world.
Created from a blend of ancient Buddhist meditation teaching, the scientifically proven Mindful Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program, and modern-day leadership principles, we bring you a new framework for leading mindfully. The Mindful Warrior Leadership Training is built to create a new type of warrior: one that mindfully leads with great courage, compassion and presence.

Working Premise
Many of us feel depleted from high levels of stress, large workloads and the overwhelming burden of everyday life tasks. As leaders, these physical, mental and emotional imbalances must be addressed to lead with awareness and ingenuity.
The time has come to simplify the burdens of our modern minds by gaining greater clarity, broadening our perspectives and building the skills to support our mental strength and emotional well being, so we can be be authentic and effective leaders.
Mindful Living Essentials Program helps address these challenges by combining the ancient teachings of Buddhist meditation (non-secular), the scientifically proven Mindful Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program and deep-rooted modern-day leadership practices. Together, the skills learned from these schools of thought allow us to sustainably align with our highest selves and operate both personally and professionally from a place of balance, contentment and ease.
