How can leaders use stillness to improve performance

Moving from Europe to North America gave Markus Neukom the opportunity to reflect on his career as an executive coach. He asked his clients what the most valuable aspect of working with him had been.

Their response was the sense of stillness that he created in meetings.

In this episode of the Abeceder podcast The Independent Minds Markus explores with host Michael Millward what creating a sense of stillness means and how leaders can use stillness to enhance their work performance and work life balance.

Their conversation covers a wide range of topics including

• Stillness as a source of psychological safety
• How stress develops
• Societal expectations as a source of stress
• The importance of self-awareness
