In an previous episode of The Next Level we looked at the concept of mindfulness, its use for stress release and performance improvement, how mindfulness relates to IT, and whether the practice can (or should) be separated from its religious roots.

On today’s episode we extend the discussion about the benefits of mindfulness in the context of an IT profession, including how it can improve interactions with colleagues, positively affect decision-making, and boost work performance.

Our guest is Brian Harrington, IT Manager and podcaster. You can follow him on Twitter, and check out his podcasts Literally Figuratively Speaking (explicit content) and The Clecast.
