About This Podcast
Mindshifting is about learning to lead mindfully and with impact. Focusing helps us learn more rapidly and perform more effectively given the flood of information coming at us and the increasing pace of change around us. We can take back control using these essential mindful leadership skills.
This approach is based on the latest behavioral, psychological and neuroscience research. I use case examples and inspiring stories from successful leaders in a range of Fortune 500 companies. By clarifying our thinking and values we can transform our organizations and create extraordinary outcomes.
In the end you will have a pragmatic action plan to guide your development and realize your potential.
Joshua Ehrlich is a senior advisor and coach who helps leaders drive innovation and change. He is a leading authority on succeeding in demanding environments and an expert on mindful leadership.
