CULTURE CRUSH RX Levelhead CEO Saundra Schrock and Tallwave COO Ed Borromeo
In this episode of Culture Crush Rx, Deb dives into mindfulness in the workplace with Saundra Schrock, CEO and founder of the app Levelhead, a workplace mindfulness program that helps encourage a clear mind and optimal performance on the job, and Ed Borromeo, COO of Tallwave, the design and innovation company that helped develop Levelhead (and also uses it in their own workplace).
Listen in to learn how even two or three minutes of mindfulness practice a couple of times a week can help lower stress, boost happiness and spur more creativity and innovation. If you’re a leader looking to get your team to perform better and be more engaged at work, you won’t want to miss this episode!
Levelhead is a mindfulness-based program designed specifically for the workplace delivered through a digital engagement. We understand that people perform best when their mind is clear and their emotions are balanced. Our practical approach delivers scientifically based benefits to help employees understand “what” to do and “why” it works. 
Levelhead’s CEO, Saundra Schrock, has had a dynamic and wildly successful career in the financial services industry. From her career beginnings as a bank teller to her role as Executive Vice President of J.P. Morgan Chase, Saundra credits much of her success to embracing the main tenets and practices of mindfulness. The dramatic impact these practices had on her life ignited her passion for sharing the practice with as many people as possible.
