Find out how mindfulness and meditation practices can strengthen your leadership skills by helping you focus on the present moment with full attention. The first session starts with an explanation of the mindfulness/mediation approach and the benefits of these practices which can be realized from building a lasting practice. Each of the subsequent sessions will focus on four foundational pillars which can be enhanced through meditation – awareness, connection, perspective and potential. Students will practice specific meditations designed to strengthen these attributes for both personal well-being and professional performance.
