This document discusses mindfulness and systems thinking. It defines mindfulness as moment-to-moment awareness cultivated by paying attention to things usually ignored, creating a mind-heart-body experience of wholeness. Systems are described as importing and transforming energy to maintain homeostasis while differentiating. Leading from a systems perspective involves using energy wisely, welcoming resistance, and building relationships to create coherence through inquiry and understanding. The benefits of mindfulness include inspiring calm in chaotic situations and making better decisions through collaboration.
