The Powerful Link Between Mindfulness and Physical Presence

Description

Mindfulness is characterized by nonjudgemental awareness of oneself in relation to the environment; it involves openness, curiosity and general acceptance toward other people. Mindful leaders manage their negative thoughts and feelings, rather than react to them - which means they are able to consciously choose the best response to a given situation. They are more purposeful in how they approach different situations, and they are also able to be more flexible in how they respond. The more consistently leaders bring a mindful presence to their day to day activities, the greater the trust they inspire, the greater their influence becomes, the better their decisions are and the more effectively they lead. Mindfulness has been proven to be hugely beneficial to positive experiences, well-being and influence. When we are mindful, this affects self-confidence, body language and presence in a positive way.
