The Contemplative Life with Patrick Boland
In this episode of In Search of Wisdom, my guest is Patrick Boland, author of The Contemplative Leader. Patrick is an Executive Coach, Leadership Consultant, and Psychotherapist. Our conversation focuses on the meaning of contemplation and how we might lead a more contemplative life.
“One of the beautiful elements of contemplation is that it heightens our awareness to what is happening within ourselves as well as to what is happening within others. As we are both present and nonattached to forcing certain things to go our way, we’re better able to notice the goals and desires we have. We still want these good things to happen—to us, to others, and with others—but we don’t need to force things.”
— Patrick Boland, The Contemplative Leader
