The office might be one of the most difficult places to not side with yourself, but it’s a concept that can help you navigate challenging situations at work.

Matthew is a meditation and dharma teacher with more than a decade of teaching experience and a passion for getting real about what it means to live well. He emphasizes humor, technique, and authentic kindness as a means to free the mind from unnecessary struggle and leave a healthier impact on the world.

In this episode we talk about:

  • How to change your relationship to your thoughts
  • How to navigate the highs of praise and the lows of blame

  • How to bring your mindfulness practice to your workplace
