Is the version of success you’re pursuing still aligned with where you are — and who you are — in this season of life? Being successful isn’t only about what we accomplish — it’s about how we accomplish it. It’s about leading with clarity, presence, and resilience, so that our achievements don’t leave us depleted, but instead sustain us and those around us.
Mindfulness sounds wonderful in theory…but what about real life? Mindfulness isn’t about doing anything new. It’s about shifting how you are. It’s not another task—it’s a different way of experiencing the tasks you already have.
Mindfulness in the workplace isn’t about escaping to a mountaintop or adopting strange practices. It’s about something much more grounded and practical – cultivating present moment awareness to enhance focus, reduce stress, and ultimately, drive success.

Margo Boster’s “Mindfully Successful: Unlock the Power of Your Brain, Body, and Breath to Elevate Your Leadership” is more than just another leadership guide; it is a transformative blueprint for navigating the high demands of leadership roles with grace, resilience, and mindfulness. Boster seamlessly blends scientific research with practical, actionable strategies, empowering leaders to lead with both mind and heart.
Mindfulness in the workplace isn’t just a trend—it’s a strategic shift that’s redefining how we show up in our professional lives. It’s about creating a space where presence, awareness, and focus become the foundation for productivity, creativity, and meaningful connection.
Mindfully successful is not about aiming for a flawless state of calm or pretending that deadlines, challenges, and difficult conversations don’t exist. Instead, it’s about being present and aware of your actions and their impact without being consumed by stress or letting it control you.
In Mindfully Successful, an executive coach and yoga teacher explains why and how to integrate thought, posture, and breathing to improve leadership skills.Many of her target readers, intent on making it big, will have the same attitude. But Boster’s
research, tools, and satisfied clients will convince even the most skeptical business leader that the bottom line is not the only measure of success.
