In this episode Fiona and Juna talk about consciously finding mentors or role models for behaviors or characteristics that we want to strengthen within ourselves. We can find people we admire, formally or informally. We talk about where to find them and how to know which ones are right for you. We also talk about "copying" others vs. learning from others. We talk about how even people we look up to have flaws and are human, but that doesn't have to take away from the fact that we can learn from them.

Why do we crave junk food when we're stressed and what can we do about it? Choosing healthy foods can feel like a losing battle when we're stressed out, causing us to crave fatty, sugary comfort foods. Our hormones and emotions spiral out of control. The root of the issue can be traced back to chronic stress. The good news is, you can train your nervous system to access wise decision-making with simple, daily mini-relaxations, e.g., one conscious breath per hour along with a calming phrase.

Marc Lesser is a coach, grandfather, CEO of ZBA Associates, and the Author of four books. The most recently published book is Seven Practices of a Mindful Leader: Lessons from Google and a Zen Monastery Kitchen.

Marc asks, "What could your work, and your life, look like if you knew how to stay focused yet flexible, if you got more of the right things done, and if you were helping to create a more peaceful world at the same time?"

Marc shares tips on managing uncertainty and understanding that it is a constant truth in life and that as long as we don't resist it, we can be in harmony with not knowing anything with certainty.

We discuss his journey of finding zen in college, 10 years at a monastery, becoming an entrepreneur, and finally coming full circle by merging his zen roots with the business of bringing mindfulness into the corporate world.

Marc has taught his 7-step proven method to leaders at Google, Genentech, SAP, Facebook, and dozens of other Fortune 500 companies for over 20 years. Marc along with Chade-Meng Tan and Mirabai Bush develop the world-renowned Search Inside Yourself (SIY) program within Google – a mindfulness-based emotional intelligence training for leaders which teaches the art of integrating mindfulness, emotional intelligence, and business savvy for creating great corporate cultures and a better world.

Today's leaders are challenged with a complexity that can lead to stress and burnout. A mindful leader, according to Marc Lesser, Author, speaker, Zen teacher, "maybe one of THE most important competencies in business today if leaders are to move beyond fear, anxiety, nagging self-doubt, and the feeling of constant overwhelm."

"All of us are leaders in one way or another. Marc Lesser applies the power of mindfulness and compassion to guiding and bringing the best out of others." Rick Hanson, Ph.D
