If you are leading a team

As a manager in a global organisation you are feeling the radical change in pace, the complexity, the fatigue and stress that is present, and you know this requires you to grow your leadership capacity in a new and significant way. To succeed in leading today this program is designed especially for you. Leaders in over 30 countries and on 6 continents are practicing Mindful Leadership and you can too!

As a young leader I was striving

Meet your program guide - Samantha Amit, Leadership and team coach, mindfulness practitioner, author

to manage myself let alone my team during rapid change and in a high pressure work environment.  

I wanted to impress and achieve results.  

An email from VP Sales that was short and rude would take me to operate below the line.

As a new team lead I was overwhelmed and stressed.  

Our company merged, underwent restructuring and with this was layoffs.  Everyone experienced different degrees of tension, uncertainty, fear and anxiety.  Together with this was great pressure to execute and deliver results.

And then I discovered Mindfulness...

After 20 years of leading cross teams in global companies and coaching these same leaders I co-authored Mindfulness At Work.

I wrote this book because when I started practicing Mindfulness I very quickly felt a new sense of confidence and empowerment.  I was more focussed, it was easier for me to manage myself and my team.  I saw the change in how I was more focussed and less stressed.  

I noticed how from being angry for days turned to hours.   I was a better Mom to my kids!

Today I am a Mindfulness Coach and Train in organizations.

My clients too have had the same transformation.  So it has become my life's mission to help leaders be mindful and impactful. 

When Covid-19 hit, listening to the leaders I was coaching I knew I wanted to create this online program.

Here's How it Works

Learn and practice Mindful Leadership

  • Learn and Practice

    Learn with short 1-3 minute videos and handouts. Experiment with practical mindful leadership exercises you can integrate into your day.

  • Check-In Daily

    We recommend practicing the Mindful Check-In which is only 1-2 minutes daily

  • Reflect

    Reflect on the exercises you are practicing. Research shows this deepens learning. If you can reflect in a learning pod weekly this would be excellent.

Mindful ACT Leadership Model

Models, Tools, Exercises

Mindful ACT Leadership Model forms a framework for the program, which is based on scientific research and evidence. Samantha has written about the model in her book Mindfulness at Work, the practice and science of Mindfulness for Leaders, Coaches and Facilitators.
Mindful ACT Leadership Model

How can you grow leadership capacity?

Using Mindful ACT Leadership Model  leaders are guided to: 

ACHIEVE with increased self-awareness and self-management

CONNECT consciously, interpersonally with  direct reports, peers and others  

THRIVE with WE mentality and contributing through being intentional, influential and impactful towards a conscious leadership culture of success from the inside out

Experiment with new mindful Leadership practices to

  • Manage more effectively
  • Lead teams towards high performance and high value 
  • Cultivate wellness that maximizes productivity
  • Be more resilient, reduce stress and thrive collectively
  • Create and sustain a collaborative environment that increases trust, collaboration, healthy-conflict, respect, innovation, collective learning, and growth mindset

What are leaders saying?

“Samantha facilitated a mindfulness workshop for Thrivacious, which is a nonprofit dedicated to supporting women touched by cancer in Israel. She did an incredible job teaching our participants about the importance of practicing mindfulness (particularly helpful for people going through cancer) and the women absolutely loved her. Thank you Samantha!”

Founder, Thrivacious

Alona Shaked

“During time of uncertainty a person needs some guidance that not only solves problems but also put things into prespective, that is exactly what Samantha is for me these days. My recommendation to anyone that feels the need to stop and review the current state and the steps needed for the near future is to talk to Samantha. She is a great mentor and really helped me a lot.”

Senior Automation Engineer at OwnBackup

A personal message from Samantha, your program guide:

 If we thought work and life was complex and challenging before Covid-19, our challenges are now multiplied!  I'm sure like myself, and like the clients that I coach, you are eager to learn new ways of being more resilient, new ways of being more centered, being more productive and less stressed.  

In this program, we are going to be concentrating on exercises that you can do throughout your day to be a more impactful leader. If mindfulness is about bringing your attention, your awareness, which is really hard to do today into the present moment and non-judgmentally, how can we do that throughout our day so that we can be more impactful as a leader, that we can choose how we are in the present moment?

We are going to be learning exercises and train our brain. If one exercise doesn't agree with you, try something else. What's important is practice. We are going to be working with our bodies, our minds, and our hearts.

This Mindful Leadership program is  taken over three to eight weeks.   This depends on how much time you have to invest during your week.   It's designed in such a way that you can create new mindful leadership habits. It's not what you do once but what you do every day that makes the difference.  


See you soon and welcome!

The Time is Now to Receive Tools and Be a Mindful Leader

A coach-led mindfulness-based leadership course for leaders,  especially new team leads, for managers and leadership coaches to integrate mindful leadership at work & home with daily practices on an individual, team and systemic level.  

This program is the first of a Mindful ACT Leadership Series.  In this program Samantha has focused on new team leads.  In coaching new team leads she has found how being a new manager can be very overwhelming, demanding and trying.  There are many new competencies a new manager even one of a few years needs to learn.  A new team lead needs to be even more effective and efficient at managing him/herself, to let go, to trust, and consciously manage direct reports.
