Its time for leaders to join the mindful business revolution and find true success.Although the world is currently abuzz with the term “mindfulness,” some believe mindfulness is a fringe activity to be practiced before or after the workday, if at all. Too few business professionals take the time needed to be present and aware throughout the workday, which is counterproductive. Dr. Eric Holsapple, successful developer and entrepreneur, has realized the value of mindfulness as not only a path to personal success, but as a sound business strategy.Mindfulness and Presence can transform business culture, improving focus and communication while reducing distractions and stress. Holsapple learned this lesson years ago, after achieving “success” as defined by society but still feeling unhappy and stressed. In Profit with Presence, he shares the lessons he learned and his twelve pillars for personal and business success, which are easy to understand and implement through practice exercises.Holsapple shows that bringing mindfulness to the workplace is an investment that pays out real dividends. Readers will learn from his journey―along with support from other mindful leaders and research―to help them bring mindfulness to themselves as well as their families, businesses, and communities. Now is the time for leaders to invest in the mindful business movement and become part of the solution.

In his book, "Profit with Presence: The Twelve Pillars of Mindful Leadership," Dr. Eric J. Holsapple presents a groundbreaking approach to leadership that emphasizes the importance of mindfulness and presence. He argues that leaders who are mindful and present are more effective in creating a positive and productive work environment, and are more likely to achieve success.

Dr. Holsapple identifies twelve pillars of mindful leadership, each of which is essential for leaders who want to create a culture of mindfulness and presence in their organizations. These pillars include:

• Self-awareness:Leaders must be aware of their own thoughts, feelings, and motivations in order to lead effectively.
• Attention:Leaders must be able to focus their attention on the present moment and avoid distractions.
• Acceptance:Leaders must accept themselves and others as they are, without judgment.
• Non-judgment:Leaders must refrain from judging themselves or others.
• Patience:Leaders must be patient with themselves and others, and allow things to unfold in their own time.
• Trust:Leaders must trust themselves and others, and be willing to take risks.
• Compassion:Leaders must be compassionate towards themselves and others, and be willing to help those in need.
• Gratitude:Leaders must be grateful for the good things in their lives, and appreciate the people who support them.
• Purpose:Leaders must have a clear sense of purpose, and be able to articulate their vision for the future.
• Meaning:Leaders must find meaning in their work, and be able to connect their work to their personal values.
• Balance:Leaders must find a balance between their work and personal lives, and be able to take time for themselves.
• Renewal:Leaders must find ways to renew their energy and spirit, and be able to learn from their mistakes.

Dr. Holsapple provides practical advice and exercises that leaders can use to develop these twelve pillars of mindful leadership. He also shares stories and examples of leaders who have successfully used mindfulness to achieve extraordinary results.
