The Conscious Action Podcast by Brian Berneman

On this episode we talk with Scott Shute, founder of Changing Work, author and former LinkedIn executive. Scott is at the intersection of the workplace and ancient wisdom traditions. He blends his experience as a Silicon Valley executive with his lifelong practice and passion as a wisdom seeker and teacher. In his most recent role at LinkedIn, Scott was the Head of Mindfulness and Compassion programs. He has been a pioneer in creating workplace mindfulness programs and advancing the discussion around compassion in the work context. His latest venture, Changing Work, seeks to curate the best practices of conscious business and make them more widely available. He is the author of the award-winning book "The Full Body Yes".

We explore living in survival mode, moving from attaining to attuning, wellbeing at work, changing from the inside out, taking responsibility, changing perspectives, focusing on stakeholders rather than just shareholders, the mental health movement is progressing, being present & connecting, the importance of compassion, listening to our bodies, moving towards more conscious workplaces.

Scott talks about his journey, working at LinkedIn, his contemplation practice, sharing meditation practices at work, moving from 'me to we', writing his book, what's the intention for a business to exist, developing self-compassion, our inner-guidance, and creating the Changing Work Collective. Scott guides us through a guided meditation practice.
