Unlocking mindful living
Dive into the depths of the mind as we explore neuroscience, mindfulness and leadership. Discover the untapped potential within your own consciousness.
Welcome to a profound exploration into the realms of neuroscience, mindfulness, and leadership. Miriam Sundholm, founder of Aumla, is driven by a deep fascination with the intricacies of the brain. She has gained experiences and insights from the pursuit of mindfulness and meditation practices. As the demand for initiation guidance and understanding the benefits of mindfulness has grown, she conducted an interview aiming to illuminate the science behind these transformative practices.
To enrich the discussion, Aumla and Miriam were privileged to be joined by Jonathan Reynolds, the esteemed Founder and CEO of Mindful Life Mindful Work Inc., a San Francisco-based leadership development company with over two decades of mindfulness expertise. Jonathan's journey, commencing in 1997, involved not only personal mindfulness training but also extensive collaboration with leaders and teams, fostering a mindful approach to enhance team culture, performance and efficiency.
Jonathan's journey into mindfulness, rooted in personal struggles in the '90s, propelled him to adopt a more skillful approach to life, ultimately unveiling the transformative power of mindfulness.
This evolution saw Jonathan transition from informal mindfulness sharing to formal therapist training, culminating in the establishment of Mindful Life Mindful Work Inc. Through collaborative partnerships with like-minded professionals, the company was founded with the aim of amplifying the impact of mindfulness practices.
In the interview, Jonathan underscores the essence of mindfulness, urging individuals to heighten awareness of themselves, desires, and skillful means of achieving them. He challenges conventional notions of an ideal work-life balance, emphasizing the significance of maintaining well-being alongside professional achievements.
The conversation progresses with Jonathan demystifying mindfulness, accentuating its empowering potential to assist individuals in adapting to change. By recognizing our agency in shaping responses to external changes, he advocates for the modification of one's "operating system" to navigate the world more skillfully.
Intriguingly, Jonathan also links mindfulness to the digital age, highlighting the critical role of digital competence in the modern workplace. Maintaining curiosity and an explorative mindset about technology became imperative for success in an ever-evolving landscape.
