It makes quite a bit of sense when one considers the business world they’ve grown up in. Long gone was the majority mindset of control in management, as they rise up with a business culture of fostering collaboration. 5 ways young leaders are naturally succeeding in soulful leadership are: [Read more…]

One of the most difficult things for many women in business is being able to flick the “off-switch” when they come home.

One cannot be mindful at home when their mind is left at the office, and this can be a great hindrance to compassionate leadership practiced at home.

At Technalink we believe in stress relief through meditation and compassionate leadership, but we also recognize that sometimes stress is simply an unfortunate part of life. [Read more…]

While we always recommend meditation with mala beads at Technalink, we also know that this isn’t the only way to get a leg up on your meditation game.

Professionals will look to a compassionate leader to guide them, teach them, mentor them, and help them to flourish in their field and position. Because of all these factors, a leader is often thought to be a highly confident person and a person who can engage and communicate with the very best.

At Technalink we know that it’s not just extroverts that make great leaders, and introverts have plenty of unique qualities as well to make them stand out from the crowd. [Read more…]

When considering the interesting balance of compassionate leadership, we’re not talking about the usual work/life balance, but the balancing act you need to perform as a compassionate leader in the workplace. At Technalink, we recognize a somewhat unusual balance in compassionate leadership, and this one prioritizes people over physical work. This might seem odd, especially since you have to work to meet goals, but isn’t your primary position as a leader to be steering the crew of the ship to get you there? [Read more…]
