Mindful Leadership from a Mindfulness Master: A Conversation with Pankaj Singh

I recently sat down with Pankaj Singh, a mindfulness and leadership expert. In this episode, we talk about how mindfulness can make you not just a better leader, but a better person.

It was a pleasure chatting to Pankaj, a multi-faceted and dynamic individual known for redefining leadership through mindfulness practices. He has extensive experience in business as an engineer and notably steered National Auto Care through a ransomware attack within 48 hours as their Chief Technology Officer.

Pankaj has been a lifelong practitioner of mindfulness after studying with a lama at the age of 14, and has developed The Ascendancy Action™ System and Mindful Leadership Mastery Compass™ to give leaders practical tools that help them become calmer, more confident, and more well-rounded.

In our conversation, we dive deep into meditation and mindfulness, getting actionable advice on how to implement mindfulness in the boardroom, as well as everyday life. We also get into the more esoteric aspects of mindfulness, like becoming the observer, and learning to sit with the uncomfortable loudness of our thoughts.

I invite you to listen to the full conversation on becoming a better leader through mindful practices.

And now I give you, Pankaj Singh.

NEW EPISODE: What does it take to go from the streets of Milwaukee to SEAL Team Six, and then build a career coaching elite performers in the civilian world? In this episode of Lessons from Leaders, I sit down with Rob Roy, Navy veteran and founder of Trident Coaching and Consulting, for an unforgettable conversation about resilience, leadership, and living with purpose.

Rob shares what it was like to endure BUD/S training, operate within the world’s most elite special forces unit, and how he now channels that experience into guiding others toward self-mastery.
