The Mindful Edge Podcast: Conversations on Life and Leadership™
Reflecting on my corporate background and meditation practice, I noticed a significant disconnect between the fast-paced corporate environment and the principles of mindfulness that advocate for slowing down, reflecting, and acting from a place of awareness. The Mindful Edge podcast strives to bridge this divide by highlighting the importance and value of mindful leadership. By embodying mindfulness, leaders can show up more fully for themselves, their teams, and their organizations. Expect insightful and sometimes surprising conversations with executives and professionals from diverse industries, sharing their experiences and hard-won insights.

What does it mean to communicate authentically?
In this episode of The Mindful Edge, Gita sits down with Brian Lamsback, founder of The Authentic Communicator, to explore the connection between self-awareness, presence, and effective leadership communication.
Brian spent more than 15 years in recruiting leadership at Robert Half and Creative Circle, managing teams and presenting to senior leaders. He also served as the on-court announcer for Villanova Basketball and Football, speaking to crowds of up to 20,000. Today, he coaches managers and leaders to get clear on who they are, what they believe, and how they want to show up—so they can communicate as themselves rather than performing a polished version built for the occasion.
Together, Gita and Brian discuss what gets in the way of authentic communication, the role confidence and self-awareness play in how we show up, and even what AI could mean for the future of human interaction.
Authentic communication isn't about becoming a better performer. It's about becoming more comfortable showing up as yourself.
