Drawing from her journey from journalist to meditation expert, Ashley introduces her concept of \"microdosing mindfulness\" as an alternative to forced company-wide initiatives. She shares her powerful \"Three Ps\" framework—it's not personal, it's not perfect, it's not permanent—which helps leaders foster psychological safety and team flow. The conversation reveals how mindfulness practices deliver measurable business impact through enhanced creativity, improved team dynamics, and better decision-making. Ashley concludes with a guided meditation demonstrating how accessible these techniques can be for marketing professionals seeking better focus and innovation.LINKSLaura Jones: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lapjones/   BAV Group: https://www.bavgroup.comAshley Wray: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashley-wray/ROI of Wellbeing: https://www.ashleywray.co/roiAshley’s Meditations on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1b1TVn3CegTMlruTSPLLcAInstitute for Real Growth: https://instituteforrealgrowth.orgTAKEAWAYSMindfulness = awareness of thoughts without attachmentInternal self-compassion creates stronger leadership\"Wellness washing\" undermines authentic brand integrationBurnout prevention drives corporate wellness investmentLeader self-reflection builds psychological safety\"Three Ps\" framework provides practical mindfulness approachIntentional meeting breaks improve team performanceConnect mindfulness to existing habits for sustainabilityPresent moment awareness enables flow statesSmall daily moments outperform occasional wellness eventsCHAPTERS00:11 Challenging the Corporate Wellness Myth04:56...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/FogMWba0NBa-JsKi_4YSdv0aT_xuI9sFZZdecNlC6Z8/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9iNmI2/YTY4MmIzMDcwNWJi/ODQ1ODQ2MWU2MDEw/ZDcyMy5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
