Embracing Imperfection: January Office Hours with 2024 Collaborative Conference Keynote Ananda Leeke

Tuesday, January 14 | 11:00 AM – 11:45 AM ET | FREE Virtual Gathering

Presented by: Ananda Leeke, Founder & Chief Mindfulness Officer, Ananda Leeke Consulting

On Tuesday, October 1, Ananda Leeke closed out the 2024 Collaborative Conference with her powerful keynote, When You Open Doors & Shift Power, You Become a CHANGE Agent. We explored together what it means to make the choice to shift power and open doors, as individuals and as organizations - when life is "lifeing" with so many "whats" and "hows" constantly up in the air.

On Monday, December 9, we brought Ananda back for a virtual CHANGE Agent Check-In, inviting attendees to take a mindful moment and consider what's working, what's not, and what we need most as we move forward through all that's changed since Ananda's in-person keynote as well as all the change that lies ahead.

And now, on Tuesday, January 14, Ananda will host virtual office hours as we settle into the new year to help us embrace imperfection in 2025.

Embracing imperfection in your work begins with you exercising your birthrights of mindfulness and self-care. When you choose to slow down and view your efforts as a work in process, you release the pressure to deliver perfection (which is humanly impossible). Releasing yourself from the pressure of an unrealistic standard of perfection is a revolutionary act of self-care .That one self-care act can create more space for releasing stress that comes from trying to deliver perfection.

Becoming an imperfectionist with a work in process practice is a moment-by-moment series of mindful choices you can learn to make. Before you and your team dive deep into 2025, join Ananda for a virtual office hours session that will:

• help you take inventory of and celebrate your top three wins and lessons learned
• identify the top three ways you want to show up in your work, top three things you fear and/or are resisting in your work, and what you need most to navigate your work
• explore your own definition of what it means to be an imperfectionist in your work and how you can embrace a work in process practice

About the Facilitator:

Ananda Leeke, Ananda Leeke Consulting

Ananda Kiamsha Madelyn Leeke discovered mindfulness, self-care, and wellness when her career as a lawyer, an investment banker, and a digital communications professional stressed her out, caused burnout, and did not produce the level of success she expected. Over the past 30 years, mindfulness, self-care, and wellness have helped Ananda navigate change, become resilient, overcome panic attacks, transform her relationship with technology and social media, and release her career expectations. As a result, she has been able to pursue her calling as an artist-in-residence at Smith Center for Healing and the Arts at Howard University Hospital and Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, an author, a speaker, a trainer, a mindfulness and yoga teacher, a digital wellness educator, a reiki and sound healing practitioner, a Thriving Mindfully Coach, and a Human Design Doula. Today, she coaches and trains people, companies, organizations, and communities on how to navigate change, to embrace self-care and digital wellness, to tap into creativity, to become resilient, and to embrace thriving mindfully.

As the founder and Chief Mindfulness Officer of Ananda Leeke Consulting, she leads a wellness company that specializes in personal and professional development. She oversees the Thriving Mindfully Academy, an online learning platform and membership site. She also serves as a Human Design Doula, a legally ordained interfaith reverend, and hosts and produces the Thriving Mindfully Podcast. In addition, she creates artwork that promotes mindfulness, self-care, wellness, and resiliency. Her mixed media collages, wire sculptures, and paintings have been exhibited in the Washington DC metropolitan area, New York City, North Carolina, and Kentucky. Several of her paintings decorate the covers of her books, Love’s Troubadours, a yoga-inspired novel, and That Which Awakens Me, a mindful creativity memoir. Both books and her mindful technology memoir, Digital Sisterhood are available on Amazon. Currently, she and her father Dr. John F. Leeke are co-writing his memoir, Change Agent. She is also writing her third memoir, Thriving Mindfully as Theresa’s Daughter.
