Leading by listening to your gut: Practicing Mindfulness

Continuing the conversation: Discover your courage by leaning into your fear - Part 2

What does it take to be a leader?  Great leaders have great courage powered by their inner vulnerability and humility.  While you should only trust those who have proven their trustworthiness, you can be open, without expectation or attachment, to all people and outcomes in your life.  In fact, it’s only by being open, risking rejection, and releasing your resistance to failure that life can guide you towards all you’re meant to build and innovate.  Join bSMART Founder Meagan Hooper and co-hosts Reed Rickards and Zoe Kaplan for part two of their discussion on courage as they share how embracing fear—in a state of openness and relaxation—was the key to being the courageous leaders they were meant to be.

Leading by listening to your gut: Practicing Mindfulness

What does it take to be a leader?

The secret to providing support...without experiencing burnout

Great leadership means proactively listening to your team, colleagues, clients, or constituents.  You don't have to be an expert, great communicator, or extravert extraordinaire; you simply need to care about what the people around you care about.  Provide holistic support by caring about the family, health, finances, career, and lifestyle of those you lead.  bSMART Founder Meagan Hooper and co-hosts Reed Rickards and Zoe Kaplan share how they've learned to give and receive support - without experiencing burnout.
