Welcome to another episode of the #MeetCoolPeople Podcast! This week, I sat down with Lori Saitz, founder and CEO of ZenRabbit, to talk about the power of personal development in the workplace.
Lori and I discussed how bringing tools and techniques to manage thoughts can elevate productivity and profitability within a business. It's not just about the bottom line; it's about creating a healthier, more engaged, and innovative environment for employees.
We also discussed the importance of fostering an environment where communication flows freely, and team members feel empowered to propose alternative solutions without fear. Encouraging curiosity and the exploration of ideas leads to greater creativity and innovation.
Being solution-focused and learning from mistakes are also crucial aspects of effective leadership, vital for guiding and managing teams.
Lori highlighted the significance of starting each day with a few moments of meditation or gratitude. This practice can transform an entrepreneur's chaotic lifestyle into a more peaceful and productive one.
Key Takeaways:
- Bringing personal development into the workplace can significantly boost employee engagement, creativity, and innovation.
- Fostering a safe environment for open communication and idea-sharing is essential for building strong teams.
- Encouraging curiosity and learning from mistakes are crucial for leadership and team success.
- Meditating and practicing gratitude daily can lead to a more balanced and peaceful life, especially for entrepreneurs.
- Taking time off to recharge is beneficial for sustained productivity and mental well-being.
Towards the end, Lori also shared a bit about her podcast, "Fine is a 4 Letter Word," where she shares the stories of those who appear to "have it all" but face internal struggles, offering hope and guidance to listeners.

We have this amazing technology that keeps us closer than we've ever been yet we're less connected than ever and have become slaves to our technology.
The same technology that was meant to be a tool to help us make life easier and be closer.

It's a reminder to put the phone down and pay attention to the people you're with right now.
It's a reminder that social media is there to connect and add value to the people of the world. Use it to Promote what you love, not bash what you don't.
It's a reminder to use that technology to reach out to someone that you can help and be there for them. Find out what they need right now and use your vast network to help make their day better.
It’s a reminder to thank someone for helping you out.
