S5 E21 - The Most Natural Practice Leaders Overlook with Miller and Lewis
Leaders today are under constant pressure. Attention is fractured. The pace is relentless. And stress has become the background condition of work and life. In this week’s episode of Unlocked, I explore what may be the most natural practice leaders overlook—and why it matters now.
We begin with Maureen Miller, who introduces the Japanese practice of shinrin-yoku, or forest bathing. (No bathing suits required.) From there, the conversation deepens with Rolla E. Lewis, who expands this restoration by moving from landscaping to lifescaping. (No shovels required.) Both speakers are experts in their topics, write extensively, and practice what they preach. These conversations offer a clear and hopeful message for leaders: Reducing stress for yourself and your staff is not only beneficial to people, but it is also good for business.
If you are sensing that something essential has been crowded out by pace and pressure, I hope this episode offers a different way of seeing—and different ways to move forward.
