Processes emerge because there is a perception that they work.

Sometimes this is shaped by expert opinion. Sometimes it is because of “best practices.”

In many instances they respond to executive whims and desires. In a perfect world, processes work reasonably well most of the time.

That also means there are times when what is normally prescribed is not just inappropriate, but may actually undermine what needs to be accomplished.

Knowing when to deviate from process—and how—is one of the most important skills for project managers to learn.

Leaders’ mindsets affect their emotions, attitudes, reactions, and the ability to focus. All of these greatly impact the productivity of their followers.

More and more research is showing that cultivating mindfulness can improve these areas.

Mindfulness habits also improve both emotional and physical health. mindfulness is characterized by an open, receptive, and nonjudgmental orientation to the present (Martin, 1997).

Psychologically healthy, thriving leaders not only benefit themselves, but they also are critical to employee wellbeing. Recent research indicates that when leaders are stressed, they are less able to support their employees, and this in turn directly raises employees’ stress.

This webinar teaches you to purposefully “prime” yourself to be more adaptable, positive, approachable, and productive using mindfulness to improve your focus and soothe stress.

These techniques can also lead to faster, more effective decision making. This is a time of ever-increasing change, and more data pouring in than we can possibly manage. Our ability to focus well on the most important things is an essential skill for all top leaders.

Learning Outcomes:

• Increase your ability to focus on what is most important in the moment, instead of being derailed by urgency and other high emotions.
• Dramatically improve on-the-fly decision making.
• Use research-based “brain hacks” choose what to focus on better.
• Use a daily practice to increase one’s wellbeing, health, and “focus muscles.”
