Art & Science of Mindfulness In Action: A Lunch and Webinar for Employees March 6

February 26, 2019

If you could take a pill that would decrease your stress and anxiety while improving your focus and performance, with no side effects, would you take it? Mindfulness can deliver these results.

Mindfulness has moved from the realm of the obscure to now what is seemingly obvious, becoming the go-to mental fitness approach for enhancing individuals, teams, leaders and organizations.

Learn what mindfulness is, the science behind it, and the practical application in your daily professional and personal life. You’ll also be given an orientation and opportunity to register for the Mindfulness Challenge, an evidence-based online training in mindfulness.

Lunch will be provided and the session will be delivered as a webinar.

This event is accessed by registration only. Seating maximum is 26.  To register, please click here.
