Mission First People Always’s podcast
Business:Management
Introduction
If you are stressed out, feel like you always have too much to do and too little time to do it, find yourself to be irritable and tired, and you feel a bit disconnected from your work and the people around you, this episode is for you! Today, we hear from a medical doctor who trains her patients–and organizational leaders–on mindfulness practices and compassion skills. We’re going to talk about being more human and compassionate in the workplace, and introduce the powerful practices of mindfulness.
This episode could be the wake-up call you need to make some changes–changes that you can learn and practice in as little as 5-minutes per day.
Listen, learn, calm down, and become a better leader.
