As an entrepreneur and small business owner, I incorporate my practice of self-hypnosis and visualization into how I guide the organization forward.
Yes…I’m focused on the hallmarks of a successful
enterprise, such as client service, staff recruitment and retention, marketing
and sales, and cash management.
Yet, equally important, I take into consideration
how my decisions impact my quality of life, as well as the standing of my
colleagues.
That’s why an article published by Strategy+Business
Magazine caught my attention. It is an
interesting read about how larger companies are incorporating mindfulness in their
management and governance.
I have included a link below, along with a couple of
excerpts.

People are seeking peaceful moments in a world
fraught with intensity, stress, and complexity, which is why mindfulness has
become so popular in corporations today. Meditation, yoga, and
consciousness-raising programs are being rolled out in offices from Silicon
Valley to Wall Street.
Mindfulness is a tool that executives and board
members can find useful in observing thoughts, feelings, and biases during
group deliberations. Insights arising from such reflection can influence
subsequent actions.
Mindful boards intentionally look out at the world
through multiple windows — technology, politics, sociology, environment, and
economics. To leverage the power of using multiple windows, members of the
mindful board hone their individual capabilities while practicing three
interdependent disciplines as a governing body: leadership by the group,
expanded consciousness, and fearless engagement.
