Go with the Flow: Principles of Mindful Leadership for a Whitewater World
This presentation covers key principles and practices to create healthy and supportive workplaces through mindful leadership. This session draws upon the latest research in leadership/management science, mind-body medicine, and the presenter's personal experience as a whitewater river guide. The pandemic has created an increased demand for new and different leadership models for the post-COVID workplace. We are moving into an unpredictable future and leaders need to be prepared to navigate these uncertain waters while keeping their employees healthy, motivated, and productive. This is exactly what a river guide does on a daily basis! Heading down a raging whitewater river is literally throwing a boatful of people into one stressful situation after another while keeping everyone happy and engaged. The post-pandemic work world is an unpredictable river, and leaders need to have the skills to create a workplace that fosters wellness, belonging, and safety for everyone.
