What Great Leaders Understand About Themselves

Patricia Hirsch interviews Gai Foskett, MCC. Have you ever had that feeling that something just is not right. It nags away at you. You are successful as a leader, manager or in your own life. You have everything you have wanted, and yet, the gratitude is more intellectual, rather than something you feel. What is that all about? More importantly, what do you do about it?

We will talk about the impact of personal values, beliefs and the use of mindfulness to connect to people and your life in a deeper way. Gai will share a case study of one of the many senior leaders she has worked with who, by exploring these components of who he was lifted the company morale, increased profits and worked less hours and felt a true gratitude that shaped how he viewed the world. Gai will discuss how this fits with what is known now from a neuro scientific perspective about stress and humans responses and how teaching mindfulness as a coach is one of the most powerful tools to use with stressed leaders.
