Mindful Leadership
The 9 Ways to Self-Awareness, Transforming Yourself
and Inspiring Others
Effective leaders are self aware and empower those they influence to achieve their potential. Mindful Leadership is a guide to leadership that starts with the self—for business people, members of the public service, professionals, and anyone else in a position to influence others. Essentially, it is of value
to anyone who aspires to make a difference.
Maria Gonzalez shows you how to use a single tool—Mindfulness meditation—to achieve clarity, focus, and self-awareness, enabling you to
transform yourself and achieve positive results by inspiring those you lead.
Mindfulness is a process of training the mind that anyone can follow, and Mindful Leadership provides simple techniques you can use anytime,
anywhere, to improve yourself as a leader. Beginning with the simple act of being fully present, mindfulness opens up the 9 ways to become more effective in every aspect of life.
