Listen "Three Breaths to Arrive: Leading with Presence with Fred C. Wasiak"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of Mindfulness in Real Time, Clayton sits down with Fred C. Wasiak—longtime nonprofit leader, Food Bank of South Jersey President/CEO, Humanics Consulting founder, and creator of “Outdoors with Papa.” Fred shares how nature became his mindfulness dojo (hello, forest bathing), why he starts meetings with “three breaths to arrive,” and how modeling presence—rather than mandating it—transformed culture during crisis. You’ll hear practical ways to bring a beginner’s mind to familiar paths (at work and on the trail), simple sensory practices you can use today, and how servant leadership ripples through teams until the “lone nut” becomes a movement. We also explore self-care for front-line staff and the role of Meditation4Leadership in sustaining mindful organizations. Tune in for gentle, actionable wisdom you can apply before the episode ends.Sponsored by Meditation4Leadership, check them out at www.meditation4leadership.orgHosted by Clayton PlattFeaturing Fred WasiakEdited by Marianne SandersWith thanks from Salt Peak Studios, www.saltpeakstudios.com
