Steven Cohen, author of “Leading from Within,” says regular meditation maximizes leadership performance by strengthening your capacity in what he calls the four leadership pillars:

• Build Awareness. Through meditation, you learn how to observe your thoughts, feelings and bodily sensations, without judgment.  Enhanced awareness will help you see situations more clearly, solve problems more readily.  
• Make Connections with people in ways that resonate with each individual.  With a clearer mind, you will heighten your powers of observation, strengthen your ability to respond more thoughtfully, and listen more deeply.  
• Maintain Perspective and improve decision-making as meditation provides a break from stress triggers.  
• Finally, quieting the noise in your life, meditation will help you tune in to your authentic self and Achieve Your Potential.
