The Powerful Link Between Mindfulness and Physical Presence Mindfulness is characterized by nonjudgemental awareness of oneself in relation to the environment; it involves openness, curiosity and general acceptance toward other people. Mindful leaders manage their negative thoughts and feelings, rather than react to them - which means they are able to consciously choose the best response to a given situation. They are more purposeful in how they approach different situations, and they are also able to be more flexible in how they respond. The more consistently leaders bring a mindful presence to their day to day activities, the greater the trust they inspire, the greater their influence becomes, the better their decisions are and the more effectively they lead. Mindfulness has been proven to be hugely beneficial to positive experiences, well-being and influence. When we are mindful, this affects self-confidence, body language and presence in a positive way.

I had been working on a proposal for 5 months and couldn't get team, vendor and client's buy in! I became insufferable (even Ron, my best friend, declined our traditional Wednesday beer date). I changed jobs frequently, feeling disengaged, until I became physically ill. After a third round of antibiotics, I decided to quit another position and start working for myself.My feeling of disengagement was not unique. According to the Gallup engagement study, nearly 70% of employees suffer from work place disengagement - a true epidemic!For over 20 years, my personal transformation journey as a consultant and later as a leadership agile coach taught me to look for patterns in organizations. I have recognized recurring behaviours that plague unsuccessful and disengaged organizations.The overarching problem is the traditional approach to organizational power/influence which I named vertical influencing. Unsuccessful organizations suffer from high employee disengagement since they adopt vertical influence patterns.On the other hand, I discovered that successful organizations adopt a fresh paradigm of horizontal influencing. Presently, these horizontal influencing structures manifest themselves in lean agile approaches.Horizontal influencing includes a set of skills fundamental to building Dyad and Triad relationships; creating a true win-win environment at the individual, team and organizational level. Experience how to create engaged communities together, through building Horizontal influencing.
