In our do-more-with-less, hustle-and-grind culture, attention spans are at an all-time low when presence has never been more paramount. We have sacrificed depth to deal with information overload—depth of focus, depth of meaning, and depth of human connection. Everybody’s being asked to do more with less, A.I. is here to stay and the pace of disruption is only going to increase. To combat the stress, burnout and complexities of the modern world of work it will require us to fully embrace the present moment. Unlocking the power of presence will require us to activate the heart of a mindful leader and build the mindset of an elite athlete, and Mike Lee is the speaker who can help your leaders and employees do just that.
Having spent a couple of decades on the basketball court with the game’s elite like NBA MVPs Steph Curry and Joel Embiid, and having overcome his own crippling anxiety and debilitating depression, Mike has developed a simple and easy-to-implement methodology to help individuals and organizations unlock the power of presence. By merging strategies, habits, and belief systems of basketball’s elite with a deep dive into timeless, practical, and relatable Eastern philosophy, Mike equips your audience with a toolkit to navigate the complexities of today’s era so they can Lead with Presence and Win the Moment.
