ASCE YMF Lunch & Learn - Engineering Your Mind 

Please join ASCE YMF for an online informative session on Engineering Your Mind. This workshop introduces mindfulness and mindfulness practices, examines the science of stress and mindfulness, and provides connections between the benefits of mindfulness and the skills needed for engineering professionals.

Elyssa Dixon is a professional engineer in Seattle, Washington and a mindfulness and meditation coach. As an engineer, Elyssa understands the daily stress engineers must deal with and has created her own mindfulness and meditation company called FleeceandForests. She is the President-Elect of the ASCE Seattle Section and Chair of the ASCE Committee on Younger Members. Elyssa recently presented on a similar topic at this year's Eastern Region Younger Member Council (ERYMC) in Connecticut with two of the ASCE ECB YMF members attending.

This presentation will include a discussion on the science behind stress, the personal, team and leadership benefits along with how to implement these practices in a realistic manner to everyday life.
