For Leaders And Leadership Teams

Mindful leadership is intentional leadership.

Intentionality doesn’t come easily, nor does it come naturally. Intentionality happens when leaders act in purposeful, conscious, and genuine ways. Luckily, mindful, intentional leadership skills can be honed. 

Developed from educational, neuroscience, and psychology research and informed by the practice of exceptional school leaders, coaching in mindful leadership advances skills that enhance individual and organizational communication, resilience, and well-being. 

My work differs from traditional professional development. You and/or your team won’t find yourselves being lectured to or asked to sit for canned presentations. Becoming a mindful leader cannot be reduced to a set of steps, procedures, or techniques. Instead, intentional mindful leadership is created and co-created. It is rooted in a commitment to personal growth, reflection, and curiosity. That said, if the research interests you or your team, I can easily provide it in any number of ways. 

Grounded in research from education, neuroscience, and psychology, and informed by the practices of exceptional school leaders, mindful leadership coaching cultivates skills that enhance individual and organizational communication, resilience, and well-being. By integrating wisdom from the traditions of contemplative, cognitive, and organizational mindfulness, you and your team can learn to: 

  • Authentically lead with presence, clarity, and compassion, embodying your leadership vision.
  • Communicate effectively, build strong relationships, and perspective-take by seeking out diverse viewpoints.
  • Navigate complexity and change with resilience, guided by your values, beliefs, and aspirations.
  • Foster a culture of well-being, engagement, and organizational learning in your school community.
  • Enhance your relational leadership skillset and incorporate a comprehensive perspective into problem-solving and decision-making.

I’m committed to helping school leaders develop the mindful leadership capacities needed to create schools where everyone can learn, grow, and succeed. If you’re interested in exploring how mindful leadership coaching can support you and your team, I’d welcome the opportunity to share more about the research and practices.
