Welcome to Mindful Leader Practices, a Substack where thought leadership meets deep reflection—on stage, in teams, and within the self.
I’m Anu Arora—executive coach, keynote speaker, and founder of Infinite Potential Leadership. On global stages and inside corporate boardrooms, I speak about what we most need but often forget: presence, compassion, courage, and the power of pause.
This space is an extension of those keynotes.
Here, I write about:
Turning conflict into innovation
Balancing high performance with humanity
The neuroscience of burnout and belonging
From solo stars to high-performing teams
Timeless wisdom for modern leadership—including practices like loving-kindness, fierce compassion, joyful resonance, and grounded equanimity
How mindfulness isn’t a luxury—it’s a leadership imperative
These reflections emerge from real stories—leaders on the brink, teams in the swamp, and those rare moments when someone says, “This changed me.”
If you’ve ever felt like you’re performing your life instead of living it…
If you're curious how leaders can be both clear and kind…
If you long to create spaces where people thrive, not just survive…
This is for you.
Whether I’m guiding a team through breakdown, teaching a breathwork practice on stage, or writing about what Thai Red Curry (yes, really)—can teach us about compassion, my work is about bridging head and heart, research and ritual, presence and performance.
I believe leadership is sacred.
And every leader is a mirror.
This is not just a newsletter. It’s a practice ground.
For mindful leadership.
For reflective living.
For what’s next.
—Anu
