The Mind is a social process, rather than an individual process.Mark Leonard joins Brett Hill on the Mindful Coach Podcast to discuss the transformative power of mindfulness in the workplace, emphasizing that the social learning process may be more impactful than the meditation practice itself.
Leonard highlights his development of Mindfulness Based Organizational Education, a program designed to make mindfulness more accessible and relevant to diverse audiences, particularly in corporate settings.
He shares insights from his experience at the Oxford Mindfulness Center and explains how adapting mindfulness practices for the workplace involves not only shorter meditation sessions but also a focus on understanding the mind's workings in a social context.
The conversation explores the importance of psychological safety and fostering genuine connections among team members to create a supportive environment for growth and change.
Leonard's work is grounded in the belief that by cultivating an understanding of social interactions, organizations can address challenges more effectively and promote a healthier workplace culture.
