"We have to think differently to achieve different results" Liz's guest on this episode of The Leadership Coaching Group podcast is Pragito Dove. Pragito has twenty years of stress management and meditation counseling experience. Listen as we discuss meditation and how it benefits leaders.

Pragito defines meditation as awareness and being in the present moment. When we lose focus, the mind distracts us from what our bodies are doing. Pragito believes that our mind is the bridge between our inner and outer selves. Although we need the mind, we don't need the anxiety that the mind creates.

Listen, as Pragito shares how to know that the mind is controlling us in any given moment, how, when you judge other people, you are judging yourself, and why we are drawn to authentic people. Are you distracted and having trouble focusing? This is the episode you don't want to miss.

Liz wants to introduce you to the concept that your thoughts have a primary impact on your life. It isn't just other people or a pandemic; these are just other factors that can influence you, but what's most important is how you allow your thoughts about those things to drive your actions. We would appreciate you letting us know how this topic lands with you. Email us at [email protected] if you want to share any of your thoughts directly with us.
