Practicing self-reflection and incorporating mindfulness into your work as a leader can be hard. But it is key to being able to reflect, grow and perform at the highest level.

She shared her tips on how leaders can build a successful routine that helps them "be" more effective. That will allow them to achieve more in their lives, both personally and professionally.
