Disconnect to Connect: Practicing Mindfulness in the Workplace

(Leadership, Personal Development, Employee Engagement topic)

Do you find yourself distracted at work and at home? Do you fear that you are not working to your full potential with your team or as a leader because of workplace misunderstandings? Are you empathetic as a leader and seek to understand others’ perspectives? In this session, we will take a deep dive into understanding where we are off balance in our lives -- both at work and at home -- and how this affects the experience we create with others.

Many of us can feel that we are technically up to speed in what we do; however, we are not living up to our full potential as leaders or co-workers because we lack the skills to mindfully connect with one another. Mindfulness is the practice of being fully present in the current moment and learning how to calmly observe our thoughts and feelings without judgment or action. By learning to disconnect, we can connect in a more intentional, positive way and find common ground with those we work with and care about. Through the daily practice of mindfulness, we can gain a better understanding of where we are off-balance internally so that we can show up better for those around us, be more successful leaders and feel more engaged as an employee.

In this session, you will:

• Gain a clear understanding of what mindfulness is and how to practice it;

• Learn to evaluate your work-life balance and the work-life balance of your employees;

• Understand how to improve employee engagement and well being;

• Discover a couple of quick and easy meditation practices for mindfulness in the office;

• Learn the most effective office/desk yoga stretches for clarity and focus.

The Connected Leader: Creating an Engaged Company Culture in the Digital Age

(Leadership, Employee Engagement, and Change Management topic)

In this age of technology disruption, everything is changing around us. We sometimes can feel like we don’t know where our anchor is - what will stay the same, what will change, and what we can depend on.

We can find that when implementing change in our organization, individual patterns of behavior can show up in ways that prevent the business from making progress and embracing the opportunities ahead. While we are focusing on change management in our organizations and what the future of our work will look like, we should also be spending an equal amount of time creating stronger human connections.

With time and dedication, you can learn to become a connected leader who contributes to cultivating an engaging and fulfilling work-life culture for yourself, your team, and your colleagues.

During this talk, Amy will take you on an emotional journey of self-reflection. You will discover more compassion for yourself and others, be more mindful as a leader, and improve how you communicate to achieve the desired outcomes together as a team.
