If you’re like most people, you run into trouble when conversations turn from routine to crucial. Your body’s natural fight-or-flight response takes over. The knee-jerk response is to run and dodge the topic, hide behind an email, or just wing it and hope for the best.

Productivity stems from face-to-face communication, as well as your ability to express controversial and risky opinions effectively. Attend this course and practice using real-life models to conduct difficult conversations on any topic. You’ll gain the skills and summon the courage to step up, speak openly and honestly, and get results that count.

As a leader, how can you stay focused on what’s important when there are so many demands for your immediate attention? Ever-changing market conditions, gadget overload, conflicting information and “emergencies” of all kinds can hurt your ability to think with clarity and precision. Getting to sustainable excellence requires a different way to lead.

This is where mindfulness comes in. Practicing mindfulness helps you to tune in to what’s here and now, to be more present, awake and aware so you can access greater creativity, learning and personal growth. Attend this course to learn new habits that can help you begin to rewire your leadership behaviors as you inspire engagement, trust, authenticity and productivity in those around you.
