At 7:15 PM
CT the first Wednesday of each month there's a group of committed
women who come together to Toast Leadership.
They are inventors! Invention is about
discovery, creation and change. What these women know is that embracing invention
allows them to grow, develop and fulfill their potential.
In November we
surveyed our Toast to Leadership women and asked, “What topics would you like
to explore during 2016?” Not surprisingly
the respondents didn’t choose topics like negotiation skills, or meetings or team
management! Hands down, these women
wanted more than a toolbox of skills. Out
of a list of several topics on the survey, they wanted to focus on the core
of exceptional leadership…..mindfulness.
Neuroscience
research says that mindful practice brings about changes to the structure and
function of the brain and reinvents us by helping minimizing a life in
auto-pilot and improves our focus, clarity, creativity, and empathy. This change lets leadership presence flourish
and translates into a host of “betters”….better strategic thinking, better
response under pressure, better listening and engaging skills, better and more informed
decision making, and better creativity and innovation. Who wouldn’t
want these benefits?
At the
recommendation of our “inventors” the
focus of Toast to Leadership: Ladies
Virtual Night Out this year, is on “Mindful Leadership.” We’ll
explore the neuroscience, see why companies such as General Mills, Pixar and Ford
have implemented in house mindfulness programs, and learn how to practice and
incorporate mindfulness into our daily lives so that we can help ourselves and
other flourish.
Can’t wait
to get started developing exceptional leadership? Join us by teleconference at Toast to Leadership: Ladies Virtual Night Out the first Wednesday
of each month from 7:15 – 8:15 PM. If
