ERM Mindfulness Seminars
With reduced opportunities to interact and socialize physically, we are experiencing upward pressure on our stress and downward pressure on our productivity. At the same time, the latest studies in neuroscience show how the human brain’s greatest potential for growth and change lies within mindfulness: the act of recognizing all feelings — including stress — to live in the present and envision the solutions.
To help reduce stress and improve focus, the Columbia University Enterprise Risk Management M.S. program invites you to a series of mindfulness workshops. Each session will incorporate mindfulness practices and guided meditations for strengthening the same top emotional intelligence skills highlighted in the Search Inside Yourself program developed by Google and leading neuroscience, business and mindfulness experts.
Each mindfulness session is an opportunity for participants to practice a range of guided meditations for:
- improving performance and productivity
- developing self-awareness for enhanced communication
- connecting to others with self-compassion
- increasing creativity with open awareness and
- leading with empathy and collaboration.
