The 2-Minute Tip Every High Performer is Using

Sep 30, 2026

What if two minutes could change how you show up at work?

You don’t need an hour, a cushion, or complete silence to meditate. And you don’t need to clear your mind.

In this episode of The Leadership Laboratory Podcast, I’m talking with Rachel Tenenbaum, NeuroTransformational Executive Coach, Founder of I AM Living, and Co-Founder of The Reset Room, about meditation for busy professionals and what it can look like when your calendar is already packed.

In this episode, Rachel and I talk about:

  • What meditation actually is – and what it isn't
  • What happens in your brain when you meditate
  • Why a busy mind isn't a reason to skip meditation
  • How meditation can help you respond instead of react under pressure
  • The connection between physicality, stress, and performance
  • A powerful story about a high-stakes union negotiation
  • How to bring mindfulness into your workday, even between meetings
  • A simple two-minute meditation you can try right now

“What you hear today is a conversation about meditation, but it’s really a conversation about how you show up in your life.”

Rachel brings together neuroscience, mindfulness, and leadership to help high-performing leaders develop greater awareness, steadiness, and choice in how they respond – especially under pressure.

And before the episode ends, Rachel guides me through a two-minute meditation that you can try for yourself.

If your days are already full, this episode is a great reminder that taking care of your mind doesn't have to mean adding another hour to your schedule.

Listen to the episode and try the two-minute meditation for yourself.
