Michelle Maldonado: Mindfulness

Michelle is Founder and CEO of Lucenscia, a human potential and business strategy firm dedicated to developing leaders and organizations with positive impact in the world. Michelle is a faculty member and Meta-Coach for Daniel Goleman's inaugural Emotional Intelligence Coaching Certification Program. Her work has been featured by the Human Capital Institute, the Mindful Leadership Summit, Leadership Excellence, and Chief Learning Officer.

Key Points

  • Mindfulness is paying attention to what’s happening in the present moment — in the body, in the mind, in the external environment — with an attitude of curiosity and kindness.
  • What are you thinking, and how is that impacting your interaction with the person before you?
  • There is a different quality of experience when you’re paying attention to what’s happening.
  • The easiest way to get started with mindfulness is to focus on your breathing.

Bonus Audio

  • Michelle on Clarity and Resilience
