In this episode of the Insightful Interview Series, I sit down with Rob Hills, a leadership coach, facilitator, and host of The Balanced Leader podcast, for a rich, grounded conversation about what it really means to lead with presence. Rob brings a rare blend of practical leadership experience from his time in the Australian Federal Policy, and the Royal Australian Air Force, as well as his long time practice and investigation of applied mindfulness practices. In our conversation, he shares candid reflections on the importance of slowing down to connect, the usefulness of mindfulness in daily life to build resilience and wellbeing, and how leadership should always incorporate looking after the health and wellbeing of yourself and those you work with.
