Insightful Leadership Begins When the Interference Stops with: Edward Howard
Resilience and Stress Management: While critical
to 97% of executives, only 47% believe their organization is
currently resilient. Additionally, only 18% of leaders
surveyed in 2025 scored high in stress tolerance. Decision-Making Under
Pressure: While 67% of leaders make critical decisions under
significant time pressure, only 23% have systematic frameworks
to do so effectively. Specifically97% of executives believe business
resilience is important, and nearly 90% of executives in
a 2022 survey identified improving their own well-being (a driver of resilience
and focus) as a top priority.
Ed Howard is the author of One Breath Leadership and the founder
of Kokoro Business Performance.
Based in Singapore, he works globally with senior leaders,
executives, and organisations to improve focus, resilience, and decision-making
under pressure.
Before founding Kokoro, Ed spent more than 20 years in
international investment banking, working at Merrill Lynch, Bank of America,
SMBC Nikko, Société Générale, and Standard Chartered.
Alongside his corporate career, he has practiced Zen for
over 30 years.
This combination of corporate experience and deep awareness
training shapes his approach. At the centre of his work is a simple idea:
performance improves when attention is stable, mental noise is reduced, and
leaders learn to reset in the moment.
