Course Description
You've heard it recently, but what exactly is mindfulness?
Mindfulness is the process of actively noticing new things. When you do that, it puts you in the present. Paying attention to what's going on around you, instead of operating on auto-pilot, can reduce stress, unlock creativity, and boost performance.
The practice of mindfulness might seem out of place in the fast-paced business world, but managers and leaders would benefit if they took a moment to live in the now.
There are many advantages to mindfulness. It's easier to pay attention. You remember more of what you've done. You're more creative. You're able to take advantage of opportunities when they present themselves. You like people better, and people like you better, because you're less evaluative.
How to be more mindful? One tactic is to imagine that your thoughts are totally transparent. If they were, you wouldn't think awful things about other people. You'd find a way to understand their perspective. Mindfulness helps you realize that there are no positive or negative outcomes. There's A, B, C, D, and more, each with its challenges and opportunities.
