Mindfulness wisdom will inspire leaders at the Own Your Story event in Newcastle. One of the guest speakers, Cazz LeMessurier, has shared these quotes.
Leaders can overcome imposter syndrome.
“But here’s the truth - teaching with confidence isn’t about knowing everything. It’s about trusting what you already know and trusting yourself.”
Guiding leaders to prevent burnout
“If you’re trying to do everything at once and suddenly waking up at 3 AM to 'be productive,' stop. There’s a better way. This foolproof method breaks your big goals into bite-sized wins so you actually make progress (without losing your sanity).”
Mindfulness can help leaders and communities.
“Your breath is your anchor, and when you ground yourself, you trust yourself. Confidence isn’t about perfection - it’s about presence.”
