Mindful Leadership: The Future Demands It

The world of the future is artificial intelligence, smart, connected devices—and many things that will feel like science fiction meets reality.

Many leaders are not prepared for these changes that technology will place into their work and home environments.

Leaders should be aware that one of their biggest assets in the next century will be training their mind—to serve their teams and their clients. As everything in the world changes rapidly around them, the one skill that will become more critical than ever and within one’s own control is self- awareness, being present and the ability to monitor and regulate one’s own emotions.

Join this session to learn how leaders can intentionally shift their attention to stay focused on what is most important to them.

What Leaders Need To Do To Stay Present

In a world filled with distractions, learn how leaders can intentionally shift their attention to stay focused on what is most important to them.

Leaders Need To Give a Crap About Their Feelings!

Sensing emotions and somatic clues are not mainstream corporate culture. Learn how paying attention to these cues can simplify challenges and promote health.

Stress That Helps...And Stress That Does Not

Stress has a role in work and play but it also can go undetected and unchallenged leading to health problems, fatigue, leadership ineffectiveness and a lack of engagement. Learn how this may be affecting you and your teams.

The Journey from Individual Contributor to CEO

Individual contributors make great CEOs. But how do they shift from a product-only focus one day to a product, people and profit focus the next? Many individual contributors struggle silently through this journey, unable to shift mindset and behaviors required for desired success. We will focus on how developing mindfulness as a skill can help you monitor and regulate this behavior, teach you to be resilient, while reframing your thoughts toward positivity and productivity.
