• Description: Research tells us that self-awareness and relationality are critical components of effective leadership. Yet the constant change and overwhelming expectations that leaders experience daily can make embodying such qualities challenging. In this workshop we will explore how grounding your leadership in contemplative practices can increase presence, self-awareness, compassion (for self and others), connection, and resilience.
