Supermindfulness: Presence and Flexibility for Developing Creative and Resilient Leaders
Being an effective leader requires the capability to understand ourselves and our interrelationships with those around us in creative, deep and nuanced ways, despite the turbulence we face in all organizations today. In this dynamic, experiential session we introduce, explore and demonstrate the concepts and practices of Supermindfulness as a leadership development initiative. We adapt and extend traditional mindfulness techniques (that increase awareness and decrease reactivity and stress) in combination with flexibility exercises (that increase our mental and emotional agility, adaptability and perspective) to enhance our understanding of the body and mind connections for greater resilience and improved leadership effectiveness.Author(s):
