    The art of Mindful Disruption - discover infinite human potential Updated: Apr 29, 2022 During COVID19 I began to write a blog called 'the art of mindful disruption'. It was poignant to be writing about disruption during what has likely been the most disruptive time the modern world has faced to date.  Mindfulness is a highly useful strategy to engage, to both prepare for, and thrive through disruption, yet it is greatly misunderstood and misrepresented as woo-woo. Rest assured science can already explain a lot about Mindfulness.  I am a Yoga & Mindfulness Coach.  I write about many topics in my blog, that are not written about enough. I do this in the hope, that by sharing the valuable insights I have gained through my journey in life, others will gain.  We are all unique human beings, living a unique experience, and as we have unique struggles and desire to grow, we need unique solutions. This is where infinite human potential comes so beautifully into play. You have the user manual.  Join me, and together we can co-create your best life ever, mindfully navigating every disruption that life can throw at you with ease and joy.  https://www.facebook.com/theartofmindfuldisruption Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMO6fVvNOtIl1AvJcRfSCAg Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/jeanette.a.peterson/?hl=en Twitter - https://twitter.com/aniplapeo LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeanette-peterson-1268a823/ If you would like to listen to my blog on the go, connect with me through Medium https://jeanette-a-peterson.medium.com

  • Kay Burnham joins me On the Edge
    https://youtu.be/W4ViA0BEAn4
    https://perceivingpossibilities.com Hi! I’m Kay Burnham. I spent over 30 years working in the administrative side of the Entertainment Industry. I started answering a customer service line and worked my way up to a vice president position overseeing multiple departments with over 450 staff and volunteers. During those 30 years, I spent twenty in senior leadership and went to school to earn Master’s degrees in Business Administration and Industrial and Organizational Psychology. I also became a mindfulness practitioner and studied the scientific evidence around its many benefits. Over the years, as my meditation practice deepened, I saw benefits that extended beyond reducing my stress and improving my health. My leadership also began to evolve, and I started speaking at conferences on the benefits of bringing mindfulness to your leadership. After speaking at a conference in 2019, I had the realization that I could help more people by starting my own company working with leaders directly. Now, I use my years of professional experience, education, and practice to support leaders in up-leveling both their well-being and their leadership and help them create working environments where employees feel valued, engaged, and belong. I believe that awareness is the key to being a great leader and the most successful leaders start with self-awareness. Using the principles of positive psychology coupled with mindfulness practices, I help leaders recognize and activate their unique strengths, develop their emotional intelligence, and create the life-work balance they desire.

  • Dr. Candy Campbell speaker, award winning author, actor & filmmaker On the Edge
    Youtube Version https://youtu.be/5jyucCcXf6w
    https://www.candycampbell.com Meet Candy Improv provokes innovation Candy Campbell Award-winning actor, author, filmmaker; nurse, mom, and motivational speaker. :) It wasn’t long before Candy found her way back as a commercial actor, doing voice-overs, commercials, and television spots, as a side-hustle. That was a fun diversion from the often-difficult work as an intensive care nurse. After divorce, she felt she really needed to laugh again, so began studying stand-up and improv comedy, and co-founded an improv company, The Barely Insane Players, in the San Francisco East Bay area, in 1993. In 1995, at the request of an audience-member, she began teaching applied improv skills to a series of Silicon Valley start-ups, then to other groups of all ages and stages, and realized the principles were very applicable to both personal and professional growth. Meanwhile, although she was performing and teaching improv regularly, and federal research surfaced about the mistakes and deaths caused by miscommunication in healthcare, she could not get a toe in the door in any healthcare organization to help solve the problem by sharing improv principles. The resistance was: “no evidence the method works in healthcare.” Oy! That pushback caused her to rise to the challenge and complete her doctoral work and qualitative research with groups at Stanford’s LPCH, to emphasize the benefits of applied improv training in relation to combating burn-out with team building, inclusivity, resilience, This work has expanded to become a series of four books on the subject. In 2020, the first of the series (Improv to Improve Healthcare) was published by Business Expert Press, and the second (Improv to Improve Your Leadership Team) will be released in 2022.

  • Kaisha Lawrence on Candida overgrowth and wellness
    www.kaishalawrence.com At mid-life I found myself frustrated, overwhelmed, and craving a lot of sugar. I was exhausted and not focusing well in any area of my life. I could keep it together for the most part during the day, but my poor family took the brunt of me when I got home. I felt like I was constantly yelling, always feeling resentful and impatient with them. Ugh. And then the guilt sets in... I had to find another way, this wasn’t the way I wanted to live; this wasn’t living at all! After years of unknown symptoms and debilitating fatigue, I finally learned how to break free from exhaustion, anxiety, and depression through getting to the root and calming my candida overgrowth. One of the greatest gifts in my journey was to find other women who felt alienated, ashamed, and exhausted too. People who understood. Otherwise, everyone around me seemed like they always had it all together. NOT ME! I felt like I was losing my sh*t all over the place.

  • Michelle Fournier veteran nurse coach speaks on getting clear with NLP
    Youtube version https://youtu.be/D1CS98pCTcE
    I am a survivor, a master transitioner, and a possibilitarian. I live courageous and help others break through their barriers and see that they are surrounded by choice – courageous choice.
    My mom died when I was 10 and since that day I have learned how to transition into spaces unknown and unfamiliar to me and break through impossible barriers.
    I left home at 17, paid my way through college, joined the Army and held my career there for 24 years. I’ve started two successful businesses, co-authored a book, and speak to audiences across the country about living courageous. I learned not just to survive, but thrive.
    But being a survivor, I also learned how to morph myself into the person others wanted me to be. I spent the majority of my life trying to prove to other people that I was good enough. And that survival worked, for a while, until I figured out I’m enough, just the way I am.
    Today, my power comes from being myself and encouraging others to do the same. The world works so much better when we’re ourselves!
    I want to talk to people who are playing it safe, to those who don’t think they have a choice, to those who are ready to break out but don’t know how.
