Dr. Nika Gueci is the inaugural Executive Director of ASU’s Center for Mindfulness, Compassion & Resilience where the mission is “to change the world into a more compassionate and inclusive place by creating a mindful, welcoming culture of caring and belonging."

Learn about how Nika found a job that lights her up, where she can be authentically herself, and that enables her to be a leader who is nurturing, supportive, and collaborative. 

Hear how her career path includes several very diverse and different degrees, a restart and redirect, plus a super supportive friend who saw her potential. (We all need those cheerleaders in our lives!)

Nika explains what it means to be mindful and that mindfulness is a skillset; it is not related to religion and is a research-based practice. 

• Mindfulness offers a set of tools that you can use to enhance your everyday well-being. 
• It benefits your life as an individual, as a leader,  as part of a community, and more. 

She shares some awesome, actionable tips for adding more mindfulness to your every-day life and ways to change your habits or coping skills through being present in the moment.

In addition to being the Executive Director, she is also a Senior Fellow at ASU's Learning Enterprise that offers personal development opportunities for lifelong learners.

I absolutely LOVE being the host and producer of "Women with Cool Jobs", where I interview women who have unique, trailblazing, and innovative careers. It has been such a blessing to share stories of incredible, inspiring women since I started in 2020.

If you have benefitted from this work, or simply appreciate that I do it, please consider buying me a $5 coffee. ☕️
