In today’s world, we are faced with novel challenges, limited resources, and increased demands for our expertise and time. The constant pressures can deplete our mental resiliency and interfere with many of the hallmarks of leadership excellence including our ability to focus, to see clearly, to cultivate space for creativity, and to embody compassion. During this experiential retreat, we will explore mindfulness meditation, leadership reflections, and practical applications to enhance our ability to lead and live with excellence. We will also uncover ways in which our ability to create space in our day affects our ability to lead–whether we are leading a team, our family or our own lives–and look at our personal filters, autopilot tendencies, and the distract-ability of the mind. Through a full range of practices and applications including mindful communication, mindful meetings, and the power of reflection, we will discover the mind’s powerful ability to take a “Purposeful Pause”, even in the midst of chaos.

This retreat is co-sponsored by the Institute for Mindful Leadership. Click here for more information.
