Want to raise the level of your leadership practices so that you can create a company culture that enhances collaboration and communication? Looking for business success that blesses all involved?
Marc Lesser’s new book, Seven Practices of a Mindful Leader, combines Marc’s experiences and powerful lessons from Google and a Zen Monastery kitchen. On page 2, Marc asks the question, How do we create and sustain [the business culture] everyone says we need? He writes about creating “a supportive positive culture—a culture of real trust and care, of transparency and integrity, of accountability and achieving results.”
On pages 22-23, he emphasizes The Power of Practice. He further notes that “our practice sought to integrate all our actions with our values and intentions. … I’ve distilled seven mindfulness practices:
Love the work
Do the work
Don’t be an expert
Connect to your pain
Connect to the pain of others
Depend on others
Keep making it simpler.”
Much of the power of this book comes from the author’s emphasis on success stories from the trenches plus exercises, experiments, and activities to help readers understand and live the practices daily.
On page 178, Marc has an experiment that focuses on three steps:
“1. Turn toward the difficulty—face it and see it head-on.
Accept—allow yourself to see and feel the pain of this difficult situation; this takes courage, and mindfulness practice helps
Let go of blame—this includes yourself and others.”
The author goes on to emphasize, “Be both relaxed and alert.” He notes that this is what athletes work to achieve: “To be aware, awake, ready to meet each situation fully.” Marc writes about the importance of appropriate relaxation which helps one avoid “overreacting or being tense or not fully present.”
I heartfully recommend this book, Seven Practices of a Mindful Leader for every person who seeks to lead others and themselves to higher and fulfilled living.
– Review by Tom Marcoux, the Spoken Word Strategist and Executive Coach
Tom Marcoux speaks on “Power Up Your Compelling Brand through Innovation”
“I’m concerned that people don’t get what we offer. They don’t understand our brand,” my new client, Alexandra, said.
In response, I guided Alexandra through a number of steps to help her get to the essence of her brand. I’ve noticed that when I guide a client to begin with “Remember …” the person often lands on something that is key to their brand. You say, “Remember” (like at the end of a speech) and then express what you want the person to have as a permanent part of their memory. This method is part of innovation–that is, innovation is looking at a situation from another angle.

“2019 could really be my year,” my new client, Alexandra, said.
“Excellent. What would make it happen for you?” I replied.
“I’m not sure.”
“Let’s look at this from both angles–where you’re strong and where you need to throw out mistakes–or actions that don’t serve you,” I replied.
This began a significant discussion. The good news is that when you use strategy,you can streamline your life, enhance your personal energy and accomplish the most important things.
