Dr. Ron Stottz shares his transformational journey from Marine Corps service to becoming a mindfulness-based leadership coach who helps executives access higher states of consciousness and leadership effectiveness.

• Leadership is about supporting and bringing out the best in everyone, not being in front
• Personal development must happen alongside professional development to become an extraordinary leader
• Leaders often reach plateaus when they haven't addressed childhood wounds or disconnected parts of themselves
• The breath is our most trusted guide and advisor for developing self-awareness and mindfulness
• "Big Mind" allows leaders to access optimal solutions through present awareness rather than effortful thinking
• Higher consciousness in leadership creates workplace environments that positively impact employees' home lives
• Self-love and self-kindness are foundational to loving and supporting others effectively
• True leadership requires an open heart and mind, with neurological development that accesses our highest potential
• Authentic leadership means showing up as one integrated self rather than compartmentalizing work and home personas
• Building a proper foundation allows leaders to create lasting impact without eventually crumbling

Challenge yourself tonight or tomorrow with intentional breathing exercises: three seconds in, pause, three seconds out, pause, and repeat for two to three minutes.

🫡 My Why: I’ve seen the cost of poor leadership — how it can destroy morale, break trust, and in the worst cases, lead to lives lost, including through suicide. That’s why I’ve committed my life to helping others lead with purpose. Through Tales of Leadership, I share real stories and actionable insights on how to overcome adversity and become the kind of leader people remember for the right reasons.
