Scott Shute – Award-winning author, Former LinkedIn Exec

 

Scott’s vision and mission are to Change Work from the Inside Out by Mainstreaming Mindfulness and Operationalizing Compassion.

 

His latest venture, Changing Work, seeks to curate the best practices of conscious business and make them more widely available. Scott’s work has been featured in publications such as Forbes, and Fast Company and podcasts such as Good Life Project. He is the author of the award-winning book “The Full Body Yes.”  An active advocate for customers and employees in the technology space for over 20 years, he managed a team of over 1,000 employees at LinkedIn as an operations VP before switching roles to combine his long-time passions with his practical leadership and operations skills as Head of Mindfulness and Compassion Programs.

 

He is at the intersection of the workplace and ancient wisdom practices and is a pioneer in bringing these two worlds together. He began contemplative practice at age 13 and started teaching while in college. His unique combination of deep mindfulness experience and years as a Silicon Valley executive uniquely position him to help companies evolve consciously. Scott works as an executive coach and culture consultant, leads workshops, and does keynote speaking. For more information, see www.scottshute.com
