Garrison Institute: Seven Practices of a Mindful Leader Workshop
2019-03-22 18:00 - 2019-03-24 12:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Garrison Institute, Route 9D at Glenclyffe, Garrison, NY, 10524, United States
In this 2-day workshop, which is suitable for leaders at any level, you’ll receive the tools you need to shift awareness, enhance communication, build trust, eliminate fear and self-doubt, and cut down on unnecessary workplace drama.
We’ll explore how the inner work of mindfulness and self-awareness meets the outer work of leadership and business as forces for positive change and results that matter. You’ll learn how to:
• Cultivate your leadership presence
• Thrive in the midst of change and challenges
• “Own” your power and your ability to empower others
• Improve focus and flexibility
• Cultivate greater self-awareness and resilience
• Increase engagement, collaboration, and well-being
This highly-interactive training is structured around 7 core mindful leadership practices:
1) Love the work: Lead with focused inspiration.
2) Do the work: Learn to respond with more empathy and flexibility.
3) Don’t be an expert: Let go of thinking you are right. Step into greater wonder, openness, and vulnerability.
4) Connect to your pain: Transform challenges and difficulty into learning and opportunity.
5) Connect to the pain of others: Increase connection and trust
6) Depend on others: Empower others and be empowered by others to foster alignment and radically healthy communication.
7) Keep making it simpler: Let go of a mindset of fear and scarcity. Cultivate awe and wonder. Focus on results that matter most.
Embracing any one of the 7 practices alone can be life-changing. When used together, they support a path of well-being, productivity, and positive influence.
Sustaining and Integrating the Practices: program participants will learn group support and problem solving methodology providing the framework for ongoing, independent group study following the training, as a means to sustain and integrate the practices.
