Meditation in the leader's toolkit

Being present is a key leadership skill. To have the ability to listen. To focus. And to convey the right message at the right time to achieve the desired outcome.

What could be a better exercise to practice being present than a guided meditation? Just as a warm up before talking about the pitfalls, the techniques and the role models. So that's what I've been preparing today for sixteen unknowing participants joining the leadership programme in a couple of weeks' time.

It will be a first for me. To guide a group of upcoming leaders on how to still the mind for ten minutes. And hopefully trigger them to curiosity rather than scepticism. I know it works as I used to be one of the debunkers.
