Mindful Developers With A Champion Heart
Are you losing focus because change is hitting you from all sides? Do meetings and technology disrupt most of your day? Gah!
If your business is missing mindfulness, you’re missing out. Making regular time to reflect and plan isn’t just about sanity checks — it’s about helping you to weather any storm blown your way. Mindfulness — when done right — provides calm and clarity, which exponentially enhances problem solving and creativity.
Once you practice mindfulness, you’re free to grow a champion heart. Like a runner who doesn’t quit, successful creatives and business owners must be resilient to continually improve their game.
