The Mindset of Success: How the Most Remarkable Leaders Think
As our world gets faster and our challenges get more complex, leaders are needed who can stay calm and anchored regardless of what's going on around them. We usually think of this as the "gift" of composure-something we either have or we don't-but that's not true. Composure is a skill. It can be learned-and taught-by anyone who understands what it means to be mindful. In this presentation, bestselling career author and mindful leadership coach Emily Bennington will show you how to "pull yourself together" through a process designed to help you respond to your circumstances from an empowered place, rather than simply reacting to the chaos that surrounds us all. You will learn specific techniques to observe your own thoughts without judgement, call out behaviors that don't serve you, and call forth behaviors that do. Best of all, you'll walk away from this session with solid tools for staying centered-even when everything else is off-balance.
Participants in this webinar will leave with the key takeaways:
- Enhanced ability to make better on-the-spot decisions and navigate work challenges with calm confidence.
- The top reasons women who would select their boss on gender chose men three-to-one.
- A proven tool used by psychologists for focusing on data-based responses versus emotion-driven reactions.
