Alexis Pokorny Kahlow, Founder of Open Deltas, works with Fortune 500 companies to develop mindfulness programs in addition to providing professional training through the Open Deltas community. Being a 12-year Cisco veteran recognized as a Top 1% sales performer, Alexis most recently ran Cisco’s NYC Financial Services Sales and Engineering business. As a highly functioning corporate sales leader in NYC, she saw employees who felt stuck in high-income, cutthroat jobs. Through her own results, she knew that "non-traditional" modalities were an asset. So she introduced corporate-based mindfulness to her team which led to decreased turnover, improved culture and increased performance. After successfully presenting mindfulness to Cisco's 70,000 employees she was inspired to touch more lives and set out to do so. In this episode we discuss the science of the brain, the principles of mindfulness, as well as Alexis’s mission to prepare and advocate for a new professional: one embodying ancient wisdom and modern technology to create a regenerative world where we thrive instead of just survive.
