Today I’m speaking with leadership coach, facilitator, journalist, sustainability expert and Zen mindfulness practitioner Jo Confino. Jo works at the intersection of personal transformation and systems change; His coaching practice focuses on supporting leaders within the climate movement.

Jo has worked closely for the past 16 years with the late great Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh and his Buddhist monastic community in Plum Village. He is co-founder and co-presenter of the acclaimed podcast series ‘The Way Out Is In’ and is chair of the board of Parallax Press, which publishes books on mindfulness in daily life.

Jo’s career as a journalist spanned almost three decades, during which he served as executive editor and member of the senior leadership teams at the Huffpost and Guardian

In this episode Jo and I discuss the link between inner work and outer change. He shares his personal journey of discovery and healing, his relationship with Zen, and how mindfulness can help facilitate transformations in ourselves and the wider world.

I got so much out of having this conversation with Jo, and I hope you do too!
