Interview with Eric Holsapple

Published: Jan. 30, 2024, 7 a.m.

Eric Holsapple is an expert on mindful leadership. He shares his wisdom with us noting the importance of presence, especially as a leader. And that\u2019s why I invited him to One Sharp Sword.

It\u2019s important work. When you can be mindful and truly present, especially in our distraction-based world, you make a difference in the people around you, your organization, and potentially the world.

Eric invites us to reflect internally and think about the vision we have of ourselves and for our future. He notes that to create a different future, we might need a different self-concept and that is created through habits.

Key points:
       \u2022  Mindfulness is focus. If I\u2019m judging, I\u2019m not focused; I\u2019ve already made a decision.
       \u2022  Don\u2019t just let your body carry your head to a meeting. Integrate.
       \u2022  Mindfulness becomes a culture (a way of being) AND a strategy.
       \u2022  You\u2019re not your job, you have a job.
       \u2022  Self-esteem can come from humility, not from positional power.
       \u2022  Intention moves things.
       \u2022  Profit is the result of purpose.

Be present and practice mindfulness\u2026 Seriously, practice. Take just two minutes to allow yourself to focus on something, anything, and not let distractions intrude.
