Servant Leadership
“Servant leadership offers a radically different perspective whereby the leader is servant-first in contrast with leader-first. The role of leadership is literally to service those who deliver the service. Imagine how that type of leadership would shift the nature of relationships within the organisation.”

Definition of Mindfulness
“The awareness that emerges through paying
attention on purpose, in the present moment,
and non-judgmentally to the unfolding of
experience moment to moment.”Jon Kabat-Zinn (2003)

Two Wings Of“Radical Acceptance”
• The wing of clear seeing: the quality of awareness
that recognizes exactly what is happening in our
moment to moment experience.
• The wing of compassion: our capacity to relate in a
tender and sympathetic way to what we perceive.
Tara Brach (2003)

Cultivating Resilience Through Mindful Caregiving: The Continuing Legacy Of Zen Hospice Project (Danielle Pierotti, PhD, RN, CENP, CHPN; Roy Remer, 2017)
“The ability to maintain presence and open awareness in
the midst of stress and human suffering is an invaluable
tool. Mindfulness has the potential to focus the mind,
relax the body, and open the heart, supporting
caregivers to minimize errors, improve assessment skills,
increase their general sense of well-being, and connect
deeply with patients, families, and colleagues.”

Relaxation Response
Revolution
“When the mind is focused, whether through meditation or other repetitive mental activities, the body responds with a dramatic decrease in heart rate, blood pressure (if elevated to begin with), and metabolic rate – the exact opposite of fight-or-flight response.”
Benson (1975)
“…I was surprised as many of my colleagues when we found that the relaxation response could alter gene activity – the way that genes express themselves and thus influence the body.”
Benson (2010)

“With equanimity, what passes through your mind is held with spaciousness so you stay even-keeled and aren’t thrown off balance. The ancient circuitry of the brain is continually driving you to react one way or another - and equanimity is your circuit breaker.”

Vulnerability is the birthplace of love, belonging, joy,
courage, empathy, and creativity. It is the source of
hope, empathy, accountability, and authenticity. If we
want greater clarity in our purpose or deeper and more
meaningful spiritual lives, vulnerability is the path.

“Working with emotions during our meditation sessions
sharpens our ability to recognize a feeling just as it begins,
not fifteen consequential actions later. We can then go on to
develop a more balanced relationship with it - neither letting it
overwhelm us so that we lash out rashly, nor ignoring it
because we’re afraid or ashamed of it.”

Working With Emotions• Recognize - Acknowledge what you are feeling. What is
happening inside me right now?
• Allowing (Acceptance) - Be willing to be present to your
experience, no matter how unpleasant. Whatever you notice, let it be.
(Tara Brach recommends noting “I consent” or “yes” or “this too”).
• Investigate - Unhook yourself from the object or story, so you
can witness the emotion with kindness, and from an unbiased
perspective. Mindfulness of body is a great technique here, as is asking
yourself “what am I believing to be true?”
• Nurture – Offer yourself mercy and care as you would an ideal
best friend. Words of kindness, a gentle caress, or an
acknowledgement of how hard this is are a few ways to practice.

Mindfulness is called a “practice”
because it doesn’t have to be perfect.
Isn’t that a relief?Stang (2014)
