Episode Synopsis

In this episode, Dr. David Creswell, Professor of Psychology at Carnegie Mellon University, shares insights from his research on stress and the role of mindfulness in promoting resilience and well-being. Drawing on studies that link mindfulness training to reductions in stress-related inflammation, improvements in emotional regulation, and greater cognitive flexibility, Dr. Creswell explains how these practices can help leaders manage the pressures of their roles more effectively. He highlights how mindfulness not only mitigates the harmful effects of chronic stress on the brain and body but also equips leaders to remain clear-headed, adaptive, and grounded when guiding others through challenging circumstances.
