In today’s high-pressure work culture, many leaders look successful on the outside but are privately running on empty.

Margo Booster shares how understanding the brain, body, and breath can help leaders break free from burnout and step into mindful, sustainable success.

Blending neuroscience with mindfulness, Margo’s evidence-based approach empowers leaders to lead with clarity, build emotional resilience, and shift from surviving to thriving.

Whether you’re a senior executive or simply striving for balance in your life, this conversation offers powerful tools for redefining success on your terms.

Tune in to hear Margo’s thoughts on:

  • The book’s title is Mindfully Successful, and you share some of what mindfully successful is. In your own words, how do you describe what mindfully successful is and what it isn’t?
  • There are many management books out there; why is this one any different?
  • Can you share a real example of where a “successful” leader was hindering themselves or getting in their way – perhaps working harder than they had to or having an unintended impact on their team or organization – and how your techniques improved their performance, effectiveness, and health?
  • You tell the story in the book about the yoga teacher telling you to breathe, and your response was, “How the hell is breathing going to solve my mountain of problems?” I imagine some of the executives you work with have a similar reaction. How do you respond to that?
  • In a fast-paced business environment, how can leaders balance the demands of productivity with the principles of mindfulness?
  • What are some common misconceptions leaders have about mindfulness and how it does or doesn’t apply to leadership?
  • And much, much more!
