IT and Mindfulness: An Unlikely but Necessary Partnership

The stress in your IT department is REAL. Add a global pandemic, evacuation of students from campus, tracking the daily health status of faculty and staff, tracking vaccination information, bringing students back to campus—plus all the normal "keep the lights on" activities that must be done—it's enough to create cracks in any IT department. It's time we acknowledge the specific stressors that affect us and our teams and do something about them. Stress is a normal part of life, but it doesn’t have to be a factor that negatively affects our teams. During this session, we’ll explore how mindfulness can have a positive impact on your team and how developing the right program can put stress in its place.
