Why Mindfulness is a Superpower | Ellen Petry Leanse

Today I’m joined by Ellen Petry Leanse, a Silicon Valley innovator, former Apple Product Manager, TEDx speaker, and best-selling author. This is a powerful conversation that stretches across the realms of digital innovation, human behavior, and the profound journey toward internal fulfillment and of course, value creation.

Three Value Takeaways:

The Path is the Reward:

There is no separate journey towards peace, happiness, or better relationships. These states are not destinations to arrive at but paths to walk upon. This shifts our focus from chasing outcomes to appreciating and engaging with the journey itself, embracing it as the ultimate reward.

Internal Fulfillment Over Material Pursuits:

In a world increasingly driven by short-term gains and superficial achievements, the real value lies in cultivating inner satisfaction, purpose, and well-being, fostering a sense of belonging to something larger than oneself.

The Role of Mindfulness and Emotional Energy:

By fostering mindfulness, we can better manage our emotional states, leading to enhanced creativity, resilience, and overall well- being, thus contributing significantly to both personal growth and societal progress. This is a cornerstone of Value Creation.

Quotes:

“There’s no road to peace, peace is the road.”

“If you’re going to chase something, chase internal fulfillment but don’t chase it, cultivate it, and be happy with the journey.”

“We are at a very necessary time for some role-playing game of Consciousness where we get to find jewels, learn, have training for perhaps part of some bigger picture that we will never know what that bigger picture is.”

Closing Thoughts:

Join us in this value drive conversation that bridges the gap between the pursuit of material success and the quest for deeper, more meaningful achievements. Whether you are an entrepreneur, innovator, or anyone looking to add more value to your life and the lives of those around you, this episode is for you.
