Borrowing from Chris Voss’ idea of Tactical Empathy, Tactical Mindfulness is the idea that even if we don’t want to commit to a mindfulness practice, it still allows us to lead much more effectively when we’re aware of our own panic, fluster, target fixation, or task saturation. Rather than forcing others to navigate our reactions, by naming and noting them we can regain control and bring our best selves back to the team.
Workout of the week: When thoughts bubble up during a normal activity where you want to be paying attention, label them, accept them, and return to your attention.
