Just finished Mindful Leadership, the nine ways to self-awareness, transforming yourself, and inspiring others. Highly recommend it to any leader who finds him/herself struggling to get it all done (and I believe that is just about all of us). Key abilities of a mindful leader:

- Be present – listen, don’t judge
- Stay positive, believe that you can make a difference
- Remember “this too shall pass”. Get some perspective
