Dr. Holsapple shares his personal journey of discovering the value of mindfulness as a path to personal and business success. In this video, you will hear about the author's motivations for writing the book, the lessons he learned along the way, and his twelve pillars for success. The discussion covers a range of topics from sub-personalities and soul-directed life to capitalism, transformational shocks, and feedback. Dr. Holsapple also sheds light on the biggest blindspots in business and how leaders can get started with mindfulness practices. This interview is an excellent resource for anyone seeking to bring mindfulness into their leadership and transform their business culture. About the book (from the publisher): It’s time for leaders to join the mindful business revolution and find true success. Although the world is currently abuzz with the term “mindfulness,” some believe mindfulness is a fringe activity to be practiced before or after the workday, if at all. Too few business professionals take the time needed to be present and aware throughout the workday, which is counterproductive. Dr. Eric Holsapple, successful developer and entrepreneur, has realized the value of mindfulness as not only a path to personal success, but as a sound business strategy. Mindfulness and Presence can transform business culture, improving focus and communication while reducing distractions and stress. Holsapple learned this lesson years ago, after achieving “success” as defined by society but still feeling unhappy and stressed. In Profit with Presence, he shares the lessons he learned and his twelve pillars for personal and business success, which are easy to understand and implement through practice exercises. Holsapple shows that bringing mindfulness to the workplace is an investment that pays out real dividends. Readers will learn from his journey―along with support from other mindful leaders and research―to help them bring mindfulness to themselves as well as their families, businesses, and communities. Now is the time for leaders to invest in the mindful business movement and become part of the solution.
