Program

Research is finding that leaders who invest in the wellness infrastructure of their organization are seeing significant gains to well-being. Benefits from mindfulness include: a strengthened immune system, improved concentrative powers, stress reduction and conscious decision-making. Employees are happier and more fulfilled; the workspace feels more creative and open to new ideas. When leaders utilize their focus, presence, and attention to make choices more mindfully and leverage their own wellbeing, people and organizations are successful in new ways. This interactive course will explore what mindfulness is, why mindfulness is relevant, and how leaders may integrate mindfulness into the workplace.
