147. Changing Work From The Inside-Out With Scott Shute

Sacred Changemakers

Our guest on the podcast today is Scott Shute, who works at the intersection of the workplace and ancient wisdom traditions. He blends his experience as a Silicon Valley executive with his lifelong practice and passion as a wisdom seeker and teacher. In his most recent role at LinkedIn, Scott was the Head of Mindfulness and Compassion programs. He has pioneered workplace mindfulness programs and advanced the discussion around compassion in the work context. His latest venture, Changing Work, seeks to curate the best practices of conscious business and make them more widely available. He is the author of the award-winning book "The Full Body Yes."

Listen in as we talk through Scott’s passion for cultivating mindfulness and compassion in the workplace. He shares so many insights and practical techniques for aligning with your inner voice, from meditation and journaling to recognizing signs in everyday life. We'll explore the profound impact of personal development on organizational culture and societal well-being, highlighting Scott's mission to transform work environments from the inside out.

Scott is an engaging storyteller full of interesting stories, including a life-changing moment at 18 and the serendipitous "orange rhino" story that guided a critical hiring decision.

I think you’ll enjoy this episode, which is filled with insights, personal anecdotes, and actionable wisdom!

Memorable Quote

*“What can each one of us do? Not we're gonna save the world. What can we do today? What can I do myself to make my work better? What can I do, when I go to work, to make everybody else's work better that I interact with?”—*Scott Shute
