Leading with Mindfulness

This is not merely a program. It is an adventure –to unfold the highest in you, to learn, to inspire and to awaken leadership in a diversity of realities– Corporates, NGOs, schools, families and community.

The program is holistic and works at 4 levels:

• Thinking (Mind),
• Feeling (Heart) and
• Being (Essence) which inform
• Conscious Action.

Learning to build and enable powerful relationships out of learning 4 vital attitude-skills:

• Deep Listening (connecting with the heart and world of the other person)
• Authentic Speaking (connecting with one’s own heart and inner reality)
• Curious Questioning (learning to evoke wonder)
• Profound Silence (out of which powerful action is born)

This is then learnt in a very practical way through creative methods so as to enable participants to discover insight, integration and powerful leadership and team working.

The program will traverse a dual journey of –

• ‘Doing' of a Leader: The key skill sets required to be a more facilitating, enabling and empowering leader
• 'Being' of a Leader: Self  Mastery, Creativity, Values & Vision Empowering Mindsets

Contents:

• Self-change through self-awareness (know your strategy)
• Communication with mindfulness
• Understanding emotions and dealing with them
• Compassion into action
• Discovering responsibility
• Conflict handling
• Time management

  … … can be many more which emerges in the group.

Methodology:
