Mindful Leadership Development Guide

As a certified mindfulness meditation instructor and team development specialist for equity and belonging, I guide leaders, professionals, and care-takers who are dedicated to serving others to cultivate mindfulness skills that reduce stress, strengthen connection, and build individual and collective wellness.

Drawing from 25 years of practice, I've developed a framework - called the C.A.L.M. Approach - that helps to make mindfulness accessible and practical to slow down from the chaotic pace of busy professionals to act with greater calm, clarity, and connection. The emphasis is on compassion—especially self-compassion—as a key ingredient for sustainable wellbeing.

My purpose is to support leaders, caretakers, and change-makers who give so much of themselves to others, in order to find balance and renewal through mindfulness practices that benefit both individual and collective wellness.

     Testimonial​​

    Nathan embodies leadership by expertly leading difficult conversations involving multi-issue, multi-party trainings.   As someone who studied facilitation and negotiation in multicultural settings and used these skills, I can personally attest that this training is vital in the knowledge it provides and practical for the skills you will develop to increase your performance and inner peace.    For approximately 10 years, I have been involved with anti-racist work, advocating for diversity, and working with youth. In this span I have attended countless trainings for leadership, skills development, and others. Nathan's training stands out because his approach has a cadence that allows one to learn and grow in a group training.    This training impacted me in such a way to embody the values of DEBI and to be intentional of how I communicate and operate through this lens. I believe this training is valuable for professionals who are serious about doing DEBI systems work by leaning into intrapersonal and interpersonal reflective practices, in addition to small group communications and organizational operations."
