Description
Work and lead more effectively by learning to use your mind differently, by aligning it better to today’s complex world, and by expanding your leadership skills with state-of-the-art leadership practices that tap into everyone’s contributions.
What’s unusual about the LpM course is its inclusion of mind development practices along with leadership elements. Why do this? Because of the cognitive and emotional demands, we now face from a complex and rapidly changing world – those demands are really challenging us. At times they can seem overwhelming. You’ve probably heard Einstein’s famous saying that you can’t solve [big] problems with the same level of consciousness that created them. I think it is undeniable today that we need to see and think differently, especially when it comes to leadership. We need to upgrade our minds to better understand and deal with today’s complex challenges. After all, thees challengers certainly have been upgraded in terms of their volatility and complexity.
This free portion of the LpM course is comprised of the first seven lectures from section 1 of the full LpM course on our upgradingleaders website. Here’s the overall structure of the free portion.
– Why meditation and mindfulness as a means to improve leadership
– Research findings on meditation and mindfulness and how they relatesf to leadership
-How to get started meditating.
The full LpM course is comprised of the following five sections.
– Section 1: Overview and Getting Started
– Section 2: Going Deeper with Meditation and Mindfulness
– Section 3: Defining Leadership
– Section 4: Compassion and Leadership
– Section 5: Integrating Your Learning
Whether you are a working professional, manager, or senior executive, if you are interested in improving your leadership, I encourage you to take a look at this uncommon and effective approach. You can find the full LpM course at our upgradingleaders website.
I wish you the very best in your efforts to learn and grow.
