"I believe speed is the illusion of mastery, and to be happy and prosperous, we all need to slow down. The key to slowing down is through mindfulness and meditation practice. I have taught individuals and groups mindfulness and meditation for over nine years. I teach in the business setting to help professionals at all levels reduce their stress, and increase their focus, productivity, and creativity, so they feel, work, and live better. I have authored two books on mindfulness and spoken on television, radio, podcasts, and in person on the importance of mindfulness for successful leadership today. My passion has always been helping people live their best lives at work and home. I stepped fully into that role 12 years ago, first teaching a conscious movement practice, Nia, added mindfulness and meditation nine years ago, and incorporated executive and mindfulness coaching in 2014."
