Twenty-five years ago, you just didn’t let people know you were into meditation.
“They would have thought you were a hippie or a weirdo, and that wouldn’t be a great way to get employed,” said Michelle Goebel, an aspiring professional at the time.
So Goebel kept it to herself. Until she used it to start a business.
Today, Goebel works as a meditation coach for many South Florida executives who want to relieve stress and bring more clarity and creativity to their work. Goebel, 52, learned the practice after a serious car accident in 1991.
Alex Funkhouser, president of Sherlock Talent in Miami Beach, has been working with Goebel on deep meditation practice for nine months.
“I felt comfortable with her because of her community involvement and her knowledge of technology,” said Funkhouser, who meditates twice a day for 30 minutes. “We talk about how meditation is like a technology itself, a technology for the brain.”
