Joshua Roebuck,Autodesk Pause

I participated and collaborated in the Autodesk Pause meditation/mindfulness community founded and led by Michelle, for over four years. We met in person before the pandemic, but since then have carried on over zoom. Autodesk Pause -the practice, the group, and Michelle the leader - became an important part of my Autodesk experience. It was very powerful and enriching to be able to meditate at work, to take a brief pause, and to find a community of other people who valued mindfulness and bringing our whole authentic selves to work. It was an environment Michelle created, fostered, and embodied.
Michelle’s expertise was evident in both the content - the meditations and practices - and her demeanor, which reflected her studies and personal investment in compassion and mindfulness.
