Drawing from her journey from journalist to meditation expert, Ashley introduces her concept of \"microdosing mindfulness\" as an alternative to forced company-wide initiatives. \nShe 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.\n\nLINKS\nLaura Jones: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lapjones/   \nBAV Group: https://www.bavgroup.com\nAshley Wray: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashley-wray/\nROI of Wellbeing: https://www.ashleywray.co/roi\nAshley’s Meditations on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1b1TVn3CegTMlruTSPLLcA\nInstitute for Real Growth: https://instituteforrealgrowth.org\n\nTAKEAWAYS\nMindfulness = awareness of thoughts without attachment\nInternal self-compassion creates stronger leadership\n\"Wellness washing\" undermines authentic brand integration\nBurnout prevention drives corporate wellness investment\nLeader self-reflection builds psychological safety\n\"Three Ps\" framework provides practical mindfulness approach\nIntentional meeting breaks improve team performance\nConnect mindfulness to existing habits for sustainability\nPresent moment awareness enables flow states\nSmall daily moments outperform occasional wellness events\n\nCHAPTERS\n\n00:11 Challenging...","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}
