All of this is true:::I give a 15-minute soliloquy confronting the critiques of corporate mindfulness training as some sort of initiative to "pacify" employees.::Finally, at long last, I introduce Catherine Sherlock who has her own very interesting critiques of corporate mindfulness training.  She describes the "against-the-grain" approach she offers leaders, groups and individuals through her company Higher Mindfulness.::Catherine defines mindfulness and discusses the limitations of how it is taught to organizations today.::Mindfulness is not quantitative: it's not about being aware of a higher amount of stuff, but of stuff of higher importance.::Different meditations produce different brain states and Catherine teaches people to choose the right meditation and mindfulness program for their individual life goals. ::Self-compassion is crucial, especially during the early phases of mindfulness practice: break "I need good at this or I beat myself up” conditioning.   ::It is very powerful to regularly ask yourself, "Where in my life am I not being a leader?"::Break “prove yourself” conditioning and you can truly lead. ::Real inner power looks like comfort in the world and your place in it. ::Having a sense of belonging must be internal as well as external.::One-off trainings are weighed against teaching leaders who can then help their organization weave it into their culture. ::Emotional intelligence requires that you know when you’re handling emotions properly, and when you’re  being overly repressed or tolerant in order to feel like you’re “in control of yourself. ::You can deal with workplace bullying without being contentious and obsessive...sometimes this involves knowing you can't deal with it at all.All Roads That Lead To Catherine:Higher MindfulnessHigher Mindfulness (Facebook)Catherine Sherlock (LinkedIn)(Not To Tell You What You Need, But...)
