Phoenix, AZ -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/04/2018 -- The upcoming episode of Innerforce on VoiceAmerica's Business channel will explore the power of focusing one's attention through leveraging the practice of mindfulness. Host Angela King will be joined by James Flaherty, founder of New Ventures West, a San Francisco-based Integral Coach® training school. James is also the author of Coaching: Evoking Excellence in Others, which is widely recognized as a seminal text in the field of coach education and is used internationally in universities and coach training institutions.

In Tuesday's segment, called "The Power of Focusing Our Attention," James and Angela will elucidate how training the brain to focus attention expands the capacity to connect with themselves and others. They will discuss practical ways to bring mindfulness into a busy day and the immense benefits that can come from this practice.

In an article James co-authored in 2010, mindfulness is described this way: "Being present is possible when we become mindful of all the ways we are not present and then, rather than being captive to a distracting thought, we recognize it and release it. Rather than locking in our emotions, we feel them fully and then let them pass. Similarly, we notice when our shoulders are slumped – or when our office layout is a hindrance – and take corrective action. These actions free us to relax into the present moment and to listen deeply to our clients."
