Anselmian Events
The growth in mindfulness over the past decade has been astounding. More individuals and organizations are recognizing the physical, emotional, and cognitive benefits of embracing mindfulness as part of daily living.
Mindfulness is the intentional directing of awareness to the present moment in a focused and sustained manner with nonjudgement. Mindfulness is thus paying attention to our attention moment by moment, by moment. By being mindful, among other things, we learn how we create our reality.
Leadership is concerned with identifying new realities and helping the organization adapt and align to the changes they imply. Leadership is thus about paying attention to what is arising each moment within the spheres of the relevant domains at the time.
This seminar will discuss mindfulness, its impact, and how it is practiced, and will propose how practicing mindfulness can be extremely helpful to the role and tasks of leadership.
This event is free and open to the public, but registration is required. Light refreshments will be available. Register here: https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/ev/reg/mtkpavk
