8. • Make a commitment to practice:
– Essentially mindfulness is the art of being
an observer of your self – your thoughts,
feelings and your behaviors.
• Start each day with a few minutes of
conscious awareness:
– Instead of jumping right out of bed into
your routine, take a few minutes to notice
how you feel and consciously set your
intentions for the day.

9. • In the course of your work, practice
really listening to others:
– This requires you to shift your energy to
the other person and take the focus off
you and your mental to-do list, even for a
few minutes.
• Consider ways to recognize other’s
accomplishments, needs, difficulties
and practice small, simple acts of
empathy and kindness that may
lighten their load.

leaders is authenticity; that is, being
genuine and true to one's beliefs,
