Not many people can say their office is a mountain. Then again, not many people can say they're a two-time Olympian alpine skier, either.
Kaylin Richardson can say both of those things, and attributes her success to a simple principle: staying present.
"If you're not present people can tell," she says. "You might not realise it but if your mind is somewhere else when you're talking with someone they'll know--you're not connecting with them."
Of course, living in the moment doesn't just apply to racing down a mountain face at blistering speeds: taking a zen-like approach in business can pay dividends.
"In this day and age we're bombarded with stimulus all the time--being present is something that resonates and people respond to that."
