“True Mindfulness is having an awareness of the present moment without judgment.”
- Scott Shute
In his recent role as Head of Mindfulness and Compassion Programs at LinkedIn, Scott’s intention was “mainstreaming mindfulness” and “operationalizing compassion” in the workplace. In this work he explored the possibility of human potential, helping employees become the very best version of themselves.
The Full Body Yes is the story of us all. Our journey to find meaningful work. Our journey to find a meaningful life. We don’t have to treat our work and life as separate. Work shouldn't be a burden that takes place outside of our “real life.” It should, and can, be a source of happiness, like our hobbies and loved ones. It can be a source of development and authentic meaning, just like our schools and spiritual paths—if we work from the inside out.
