‘Leadership and impact are associated so strongly in this book, by showing how thoughtful leadership behaviours impact business results, which is music to the ears of an action-oriented leader. It has a very practical approach, which makes it easy to read and actionable. The language is different from the often too theoretical language used; it is more suited to the language leaders use in their day-to-day communication.’
Carlo Enrico, President LAC, Mastercard

I have been thinking a lot about mindfulness and my impact in the organisation, and this book provides an action plan around what I dubbed as #mindfulleadership.
