Showing Up at Work (Episode #68)
In this episode, Zen Buddhist monk Brother Phap Huu and leadership coach/journalist Jo Confino discuss Right Livelihood in Buddhism. After starting with what this means, they dive more deeply into practical steps and examples. How can we find joy, feel deeply connected, and also make a positive impact on the world through our daily work?
The conversation also touches upon ‘bringing our cosmic body to work’; the insight of responsibility; the difference between doing what we love and doing what we're good at; ego and compassion in the workplace; planning for the future while being in the present; and much more.
The episode ends with a short meditation guided by Brother Phap Huu.
Enjoy and thank you for listening!
