Mindful Leadership: Purposeful Pauses To Lead & Live With Excellence
With Janice MarturanoToday's world asks us to juggle high pressure situations at work, complex family needs and community responsibilities. It can feel overwhelming and we often learn to cope by going on autopilot. We go through the motions but rarely bring our best selves to anything. This living on autopilot affects our ability to be creative, to make the best decisions, to communicate well, to connect deeply with family, and even to get a good night's sleep. In this course, you will learn simple, universal trainings that I call Purposeful Pauses. These mini-trainings of your mind will teach you to interrupt the autopilot and tap into your innate ability to be present and to listen to your own wisdom. And, best of all, Purposeful Pauses do not add anything to your already too long 'to-do' list. Whether you lead a company, a team, a classroom or a family, you can learn to lead, and live, with excellence. I hope you will join me and explore for yourself the power of taking a Purposeful Pause.
In less than 10 minutes a day, learn how to manage stress, maintain focus and build confidence in work and in life.
