Martin Stepek shares on The importance of mindfulness in family conversations. How this can impact the results of governance.
About: Martin Stepek combines expertise in mindfulness, family businesses, poetry, and family heritage. He sees all four as complementary and corelated.
His career has seen him co-own and direct his father’s family business, one of Scotland’s top 500 businesses, as well as being a director of a Scottish law firm in Glasgow and Edinburgh, a director of several charities including the Scottish Fair Trade Forum, Social Enterprise Scotland, and Employee-Ownership Scotland. He was co-founder and is CEO of the Scottish Family Business Association.
His main interests today are twofold:
He has published six books and innumerable articles on mindfulness, and was the UK’s first regular columnist on the subject, writing weekly for Scotland’s major newspaper, the Sunday Herald. His free weekly mindfulness class in his hometown of Hamilton is the largest of its kind in Britain, with regular attendances of over a hundred.
He has published four volumes of poetry, on a broad range of themes; his father’s incarceration in a Soviet labour camp, insights gleaned from mindful observation of everyday events, a dialogue in poetry with one of the USA’s most respected Polish-American poets, and a philosophical-comic view of one of Japan’s greatest poets and Zen monks. He considers poetry and art to be part of being mindful, and mindfulness as a work of art in its own right.
Martin offers guidance to individuals, families, and groups of people on any, some, or all of these areas of life.
