The Transformative Power of Mindfulness

How Can Mindfulness Shape Our Approach to Work?

The simple act of stopping and becoming aware of our beliefs and preconceived notions is a powerful tool to help us relate to ourselves and to others. In the workplace, this can lead to better mental health, a greater sense of belonging, and improved capacity for decision making.

On this episode of Just One Q, Dominique chats with guest Dr. Peter Huang, an author applying his experiences as a mathematical economist, an economics professor, and a law professor to help address problems our society currently faces. They explore the current mental health challenges experienced by lawyers and discuss the potential collective benefits of mindfulness in reshaping the legal field. Dr. Huang provides thoughtful examples and actions you can make in your own life.
