Session Type: General Session

With great power comes great responsibility. As we advance into new leadership positions, the impact of our actions are magnified and the demands on our time and energy grow. Through mindful leadership, we can practice ways to find that quiet place to examine the strategic, cultural, and emotional factors that are influencing our choices. This awareness allows us to make thoughtful and courageous decisions for the health of ourselves, our teams, and our institutions. We'll explore a variety of mindful leadership practices that can help us create more focus, creativity, and joy in the workplace. We'll also discuss ways to sustain healthy focus at work while retaining energy for the things we love outside it.


Learning Objectives: Explore the habits of mindful leaders * Examine workplace factors that are impacting your emotional and physical health * Make a plan for incorporating mindful practices into your schedule * Explore strategies to maintain your energy at work
