Difficult Conversations, with Kern Beare

Show Notes
Whenever you're perusing the web, you're likely to come across some new discovery about the benefits of mindfulness —a simple form of meditation that psychologists and neurologists have been studying for decades. Simple, but also powerful — proven to strengthen everything from our relationships to our hearts to our immune systems. And that's just the start. No wonder mediation training is now finding its way into everything from kindergarten classes to boardrooms.

Despite its growing popularity and benefits, however, most people don't have a mindfulness practice. So I thought a podcast on the purpose, practices and rewards of mindfulness might help convince more people to give it a try.  To serve as our guide, I contacted Brett Hill, a mindfulness coach who's been studying and teaching mindfulness and other forms of meditation for decades.  It was a rich conversation that I think you'll enjoy.

About Brett Hill
After graduating with a degree in interpersonal communication, Brett Hill carved out a distinguished  career in technology, including working for Microsoft Corporation, where he received that company's distinguished "Most Valuable Professional" award for 9 years.

But alongside that career, Brett followed his true passion, studying, practicing, and teaching mindfulness and meditation in many forms. He studied Hakomi, a mindfulness-based somatic psychology, with founder Ron Kurtz. He also trained as a facilitator in Matrix Leadership group dynamics with founder Amina Knowlan. He taught beginning and advance meditation at the Lotus Center in Oklahoma City, OK, and went on to establish the Quest institute meditation center in Dallas, TX.

Today he shares his expertise in mindful communications as a coach, author, trainer, and speaker at languageofmindfulness.com
