What is mindful marketing –…

Last Sunday marked the final outdoor swim team practice of the season for me. It felt bittersweet, for sure. This was one of the most memorable summers for me in many ways.

One reason was that I enjoyed multiple lake swims in Vermont and outdoor practices. But with the Fall Equinox arriving today, the chill in the air swiftly ushers me to the indoor pool.

Long, intense workouts are not foreign to me. I’ve been swimming since I learned to walk….

It has forced every conscious, growth-minded leader to step back, distance themselves from others, lower the cacophony in their lives, and reflect….

How does mindfulness play a role during COVID?

And given that the pandemic has forced us to really take a pause, what can we do to adapt and learn from mindfulness habits in order to simply be calmer and more focused?

In 1988, I was preparing for my first 280-mile solo flight.  I started in Stratford, Connecticut, and I was supposed to fly to a town called Concord, New Hampshire. As I crossed the state border from Massachusetts into New Hampshire, something strange happened….

The last several months of police brutality, racism, and human rights violations proved one thing: I was still racially numb and observing these persistent atrocities from a safe distance. This is how I pivoted quickly, assembled a group of concerned marketers and leaders and took peaceful action.

COVID-19 has shifted how our customers act, think and buy. Your marketing needs to adapt quickly. Here are the 8 areas that are losing their relevance.
