About this listen
In this episode of Awakening Mindfulness at Work, Pierre and Sarah explore the often-misunderstood relationship between discipline and flexibility — not as opposing forces, but as complementary qualities that shape how we live, work, and practice mindfulness.
Together, they reflect on how discipline can provide a grounding container — offering stability, safety, and continuity — while flexibility allows us to stay responsive, present, and compassionate in a constantly changing world. Drawing from mindfulness practice, habit formation, leadership contexts, and personal experience, they discuss non-negotiables, resistance to structure, and the importance of choosing consciously rather than defaulting to all-or-nothing patterns.
Whether you tend toward structure or prefer going with the flow, this conversation invites you to explore what it means to cultivate flexibility within a container of discipline — and how that balance can support sustainable growth, resilience, and clarity at work and beyond.
