$249

Overview

Leadership powered by Mindfulness (LpM) is a 5-week online leadership development course providing an introduction to the concepts, practices, and tools of leadership and mindfulness, so leaders can improve the way they practice leadership via the application of mindfulness practices.  

Leadership

Leadership theories are explored along with influence, power, styles, and ways of setting clear direction, building aligned execution, and creating strong commitment. Leadership is defined in a way that participants can use in the daily life.

Mindfulness

Mindfulness practices are introduced along with the latest neuroscience findings showing how mindfulness cultivates and improves qualities leaders and organizations care about, like decision making, adaptability and change, innovation and creativity, and much more. 

Self-Assessments

Participants learn more about themselves through three self-assessments:

Using what they learn from the assessments, participants will have the opportunity to explore the way they engage in leadership and how that reflects the aspects of themselves that showed up in the assessments.  

Session Structure:

Each weekly online session runs for about

80 minutes and includes new information and concepts, demonstrations, and an opportunity to try out various mindfulness practices. 

​

After each session, exercises are provided so participants can explore and apply what they learned. 

​

Sessions 2-5 begin with a debrief of what participants discovered during the week from working with the exercises.
