Mindful Leadership

Cultivating Wisdom in Leadership

Leadership is about vision and relationships, while wisdom is about insight. Every person in a leadership position reaches toward wisdom, is expected to have wisdom and wants to be wise; and yet, it is not always easy to articulate what wisdom is or how one develops it.

If we want to lead well in the world we must first lead well in our own lives.

With Mindfulness we cultivate our capacity to focus, bringing leadership and wisdom together in order to see clearly, decide wisely and act skilfully.

The Mindful Leadership 1 day course is for leaders, managers, and business owners who want to cultivate wisdom in their leadership.

Insight
Insight is the bringing together of our inner world with the outer world in a myriad of ways:

• our conscious and our unconscious
• individuals and their teams
• an organisation and its culture
• a culture and the global environment
• spirit and matter.

The Dalai Lama says that the connection between science and happiness is meditation. Mindfulness meditation is a way of cultivating our focus to open our vision of the inner and the outer in all of the above ways, and in that connection we begin to know deep skill and happiness.

Vision
To see clearly we need vision of different kinds.

• Depth of vision, the perspective that gives a deeper view of what is possible as related to our purpose.
• Breadth of vision, the kind of perception that gives us a wider view of what is already there.
• Detail of vision, which provides clarity to see the detail and subtleties enabling us to make distinctions.
• Colour of vision, to bring drama, vibrancy and energy to live in the joy and dance of life.

Insight links our seeing to a higher level of knowing, and therefore skilful action. All four of the above aspects form our vision, and by knowing the type of vision we are most naturally attuned to, and that which we seek from others, we come to focus our energies more wisely.

This is a day of connecting inward and outward, with like-minded peers, exploring mindfulness as a tool to cultivate wise leadership.

The segments of the day will flow between guided meditation, mindfulness theory and leadership theory, exercises and discussion.
