In this reflective piece, I explore how mindfulness and presence can transform leadership and team dynamics – even in high-pressure environments like the boardroom. Inspired by a conversation in Italy about “boardroom yoga,” this story reveals why timing, energy, and inner balance matter for leaders and teams alike. When organizations – non-profit or for-profit – cultivate practices that recharge and align body, heart, and mind, performance, creativity, and authentic leadership naturally follow.
Ambition is powerful — until it works against you.
In this blog, I explore what happens when we set the bar just a bit too high. How daily, soul-aligned commitment — combined with self-love — can be more effective than pushing through with force. It’s not about doing more, but about doing what feels true. Flexibly, consistently, lovingly.

Bewustwording begint in kleine gerichte stappen. Het creëert een dieper besef van jezelf en je omgeving. Door yoga en meditatie kun je meer in contact komen met je ziel en je hart, zonder met je mind bezig te zijn. Dit zorgt voor meer controle over je mind en een gevoel van pure ontspanning. Het zorgt er ook voor dat je meer in contact staat met je lichaam en je gevoel, waardoor je meer controle krijgt over je leven. Leer holistisch naar jezelf te kijken en ontdek het enorme potentieel dat in je schuilt. Zelfkennis, zelfliefde en zelfbewustzijn zijn nodig voor dit proces.
Het aanleren van nieuwe patronen kan je helpen om met oude gewoontes te breken en het beste in jezelf naar boven te halen. Onze hersenen houden van patronen. We merken vaak niet eens hoeveel we op de automatische piloot doen. Maar met het managen van onze gedachten, en het luisteren naar ons hart, kunnen we de vicieuze cirkel doorbreken. En ons laten leiden naar een prettigere flow in het leven. Ontdek de kracht van je gedachten en vergroot je bewustzijn.
