Leading From Within: Mindfulness At Work
On-Demand
There is much attention paid, and quite rightfully, to enhancing true leadership effectiveness through training. Senior and mid-level managers are encouraged to learn about how to become better communicators, to lead with greater empathy and above all to become more self-aware. The missing piece in this learning process is most often how to actually change behavior enough to make a true difference. It takes discipline and commitment to create new habits. Research confirms that establishing a regular mindfulness meditation practice can help support the desired behavior change by reinforcing the building of new habits, and more importantly, strengthening personal awareness to better notice what’s working and where attention is still needed. Our webinar demystifies the concept of mindfulness meditation, introduces the neuroscientific connection between meditation and literally changing the brain, and plants the seeds of curiosity for participants to learn more about the benefits of cultivating a more mindful culture in their organization.
You will walk away with:
Mindfulness meditation has been shown to support the development of self-awareness and perspective which are foundational elements of effective leadership.
The discipline needed for true behavior change is supported and reinforced by the establishment of a regular meditation practice
The concept of mindfulness in the workplace should properly live at the junction of organizational wellness policy and leadership development.
