Kickbutt leadership is when mindfulness meets vision, opportunity and engagement. It is no longer a “nice thing to do” but a “must do”. A study in 2011 found that mindfulness practices lead to emotional intelligence in 4 areas: focus, compassion, creativity and clarity. It showed over a 90% increase in resilience and over 80% in collaboration and agility for complex thinking. Another study showed the brain gray matter grew. This is critically important for a Realtor when engaging with clients.
