I spoke with meditation teacher, writer and martial arts master Henning Daverne about stress, meditation and good leadership. The most interesting thing about meditation is that it leads to better performance and stronger results for leaders which positively penetrates into their companies. Watch the video and learn more about meditation for leaders.

Henning Daverne and I both have a backgrounds in martial arts and we both meditate. I’ve meditated since I was 20 years old, which is now 20 years ago. I think my martial arts background has given me an advantage because I learned the mindful state of my mind through this practice. As you can see in the video, Henning also experiences a connection between the oriental martial arts that he has taught to the police, military and the meditation he teaches to leaders today.
Many people think that you are dangerous and wild if you are doing martial arts, but that’s not necessarily true. A real champion is calm. So calm that he or she can control his or her adrenaline response and fight with a clear mindset that is calm as a still lake. Adrenaline is the fight and aggression hormone secreted when you feel threatened. It’s good not to let it control you because you cannot use all of your brain capacity thinking about it. In this context, meditation can also help to find peace in itself.

The most amazing thing about this conversation is the massive effects meditation can have on performance and results and on bringing people together. Before we turned on the camera, Henning talked about one of his customers, a director from Vola. They had had many great results from the meditation process and productivity at Vola’s factory had risen. The most surprising effect was perhaps that his employees also liked the director more.
It has many names. It works for 98%. When I teach and coach, we often use mental exercises that increase focus and the likelihood of achieving the results that one could wish for. Often it is during the exercises that we achieve the greatest effect.
I give lectures, coaches, counsels and teaches. My mission is to make people and businesses more mentally ready. To become better at handling innovation, new technology, stress and change. Our vision is that people don’t just perform but has to become mentally ready. This, by unlocking the power of personal energy in all organizations to create long-term value in a sustainable way.

Understanding people’s boundaries can be challenging for some leaders. This isn’t always because they’re selfish or indifferent—it’s often just difficult to know how to motivate, engage, create clarity, and respect others’ boundaries, especially when those boundaries differ from their own.

Marie’s journey through coaching was nothing short of remarkable. A high-achieving leader with a big heart and sharp skills, she found herself trapped in a tough and toxic situation. Yet, she didn’t just survive—she thrived. She triumphed. And now, with her permission, I’m sharing her story in hopes that others might find the strength to do the same.
As a leader, you will undoubtedly encounter employees with low self-esteem. Low self-esteem is like the leaky jar of the Danaids, a jar that is never filled—no matter how much you pour in. This results in people never feeling like they are enough. As a leader, it’s important to be aware if some of your employees have low self-esteem so you can lead them well and help them build more self-worth. It is possible to develop more self-esteem as an adult, and a boss can play a role in that. It benefits both the employee, the company, and the boss if the employee gains more self-esteem.
