Everyone wants all the benefits of meditation.
But no one wants to do it.
Today, Steve Ware is the mindfulness expert who save businesses FORTUNES reducing burnout.
But he was like most of us: A cheeky cynic.
He thought: I'm too tough… too macho for mindfulness. And didn't tell even his closest friends or colleagues.
And then he experienced it, introduced it IBM, the land of suits, and lead it to some of the most stressed out executives there for 13 years.
If you’re in a job search or career, wanting to be more productive, clearer in your thinking, while still driving hard without burnout this episode is for you.
Steve knows a few (million) things about busy, stressed and anxious professionals.
Find Out Why:
Excessive thinking leads to burnout and stress with 90% of us, using our minds for repetitive useless thinking – processing 60 - 80,000 thoughts A DAY
The best moments of our lives coincide with a gap in the incessant stream of thinking.
We can’t stop our minds by just stopping our mind, it’s a skillful opponent we have to work with, not against.
Nothing around mindfulness is ever about beating your mind into submission or suppressing thoughts.
Mindfulness works like confetti when you piggyback what you’re doing with the attention of your senses.

The notion of self care is often met with a raised eyebrow.
Some of us (including me) have been programed to drive so hard that over productivity is normal and confusing self-care as self indulgent.

The myths of low work libido affecting men and women that lead to burnout and dissatisfaction
The never heard before explanation of hustling vs. hussle culture
The five biggest self-care myths
Cumulative effects of self-care on ourselves and impact of our relationships and work culture.
