Mind&Body@Work
Wellness, Well-being and Mindfulness are trending right now as organizations try to attract and retain the best talent in this tumultuous, post-Covid world. At the Leader Lab, we agree these are important concepts and overdue for being fully utilized in the workplace. We also believe that these concepts only work when you treat the mind and body as a whole. We are excited to be part of a societal shift in attention toward the whole person.
We invite you to join us as we begin to look broadly ..and deeply at wellness, well-being and mindfulness in the workplace.

Our guest for this episode is Master Peter Hill. Peter is Integrated Martial Artist who became a middle school teacher. He is a Master because of his mastery of the philosophy and the arts as well as how he lives his life consistent with this philosophy.
We learn about how and why Peter transitioned in mid-career from running martial arts schools to teaching at an inner city school. Peter took what he had learned about life and self-defense and created an evolving program for kids called “Get it Together”. He notes that some of these kids stories have been documented by a local police man in the book “Badge 411” (Kurt Nieman, 2022).
Peter explains why language idiograms (like Chinese writing) can be much more effective at getting across key life concepts than verbal language.
Peter explains the importance of purifying our intent to accomplish what we hope to in life. Also how so much of our success (or lack there of) follows from the energy we cultivate.This is why somatic (mind/body) training is so important.
Peter shares his perspective on Well-being and where it needs to start in organizational settings. And much more.
Peter references “The Chronicles of Tao” by Deng Ming Dao, The Art of War by Sun Tzu, courses he took from Carlos Casteneda and a number of historical and contemporary Masters he learned from.
Peter’s books are G.E.T. I.T. Together, and Warrior Work, both available at Amazon. You can also find his YouTube videos by searching Peter Hill Warrior Work.
