Mindful Leadership

Welcome to another insightful episode of the Mindful Leader Practices podcast. In this episode, we delve into the transformative mindfulness practice of "noting" and its profound application in leadership. Join us as we explore the power of noting to reveal deeply ingrained habits of thinking and unlock the potential for positive change in our leadership journey.

Our host shares a captivating personal experience during a hiking adventure where noting became an integral part of their mindfulness practice. By observing and labeling their thoughts, emotions, and sensations in the present moment, they uncover patterns of response, including imaginary fears and the tendency to judge. Through their story, listeners gain valuable insights into the impact of noting on self-discovery and growth.

The episode takes an immersive turn as our host Anu guides listeners through a reflective and transformative guided meditation on noting. Settle into a comfortable position and embark on your own journey of mindfulness. Experience the power of observing and acknowledging thoughts as "thinking," sensations as "sensation," and emotions as "emotion." This practice cultivates a non-reactive awareness that empowers conscious responses instead of automatic reactions.

Join us as we explore the transformative potential of noting in leadership. Discover how this practice enables us to shine a light on deeply ingrained thinking habits and uncover hidden patterns. By cultivating a mindful presence and committing to self-discovery, we can initiate positive change in our leadership styles and create more meaningful connections with those we lead.
