After graduating with a degree in interpersonal communication, Brett Hill ended up becoming a technology expert, before bringing the two strands of technology and communication together to create a distinguished and successful career as a technical speaker and storyteller.

Alongside that career, Brett has spent many years studying and practicing mindfulness in many forms.

He studied Hakomi, a mindfulness-based somatic psychology with founder Ron Kurtz and he also trained as a facilitator in Matrix Leadership group dynamics with founder Amina Knowlan, before establishing the Quest institute meditation center in Dallas.

He credits much of his professional success in the corporate world to the skills and tools he picked up from the mindfulness world he also moved in.

Eventually, the desire to share the many benefits of mindfulness with others, so that they could live a richer and more powerful life of intention and connection, led to the work he does today.

I’m excited for you to discover some of those benefits from this interview.
