Truth You Can Act On: 

1. Understand Your Biology. As leaders, when you start to understand the biology behind your brain, you can demystify it in a way that you don't have to feel like you're being controlled by it. Neal recommends meditation as a tool to combat that stressed or overwhelmed feeling. 
2. Emotion. Releasing and using your emotions is a core principle of mindfulness. As a leader, having emotions and showing vulnerability can bring your workplace together.  
3. How Stress Impacts Your Workplace. If your people are overwhelmed at work, their brain produces cortisol, which results in stress and takes away creativity and the ability to absorb information. Have a space where your people can rest their brains to feel refreshed.
