Our guest today is Kira Leskew, a meditation master with over 25,000 hours of practice. She's also a former top-five world's master swimmer and serial entrepreneur. Kira specializes in teaching high-performance mind meditation to maximize focus, intuition, and decision-making.

In this episode, we dive into why meditation is essential for leadership and high performance in today's stressful world. Kira explains how meditation not only calms stress but also activates higher brain functions like creativity and focus. She shares techniques for gaining insights and setting priorities through meditation, and debunks the myth that meditation is just for relaxation.

Kira emphasizes that there are over 70 different styles of meditation, ranging from spiritual practices to those focused on awareness and stress reduction. For beginners, she recommends starting with stress reduction techniques before moving on to more advanced practices.

We discuss how meditation can benefit leaders by helping them handle different perspectives, evaluate their motives, and make better decisions. It also improves time management by enhancing prioritization skills and preventing overwhelm. Kira shares examples of her students increasing productivity while working less, proving that meditation can lead to extraordinary results with less effort.

For overachievers, Kira offers valuable advice on embracing rest and efficiency for sustained success. She reminds us that rest is a crucial part of high performance and training, encouraging listeners to focus on outcomes rather than time spent working.

To help listeners get started, Kira provides tips for beginning a meditation practice. She suggests committing to daily practice and learning proper techniques, noting that it may take 6 to 12 months to work up to high-performance mind meditation.

As a special gift to our audience, Kira offers a quiz on morals and a self-evaluation on stress levels. You can access this quiz in the comments section of this episode.

We encourage you to explore meditation practices and consider incorporating them into your daily routine. Don't forget to share your thoughts and experiences with meditation in our Boundary Breakers Collective community.
