Mindfulness: How School Leaders Can Reduce Stress and Thrive on the job

We hope you will be able to join us for a special evening and full-day workshop on mindfulness, mindful leadership and mindful self-compassion designed to allow you to learn the skills and enter into some stillness. This workshop will offer 9 SCECH credits for participants. It will be highly engaging and interactive, teaching methods of mindful practice that are related to leadership effectiveness.

Have you wanted to:

• Reduce some stress
• Learn about resilience and self-care
• Have an opportunity to enter into some quiet for you to catch your breath and plan for your own personal goals
• Find out why mindfulness is being taught and practiced in major corporations, medical and law schools, hospitals, and the military, and how it is now considered mainstream in this country
• Interact with other school leaders who want to thrive, and not just cope on the job?

If so, this workshop is for you. It will feature a variety of activities and learning that will inform engage, and offer you a new definition of well-being.
