Description*

In this two-hour workshop, Professor Amanda Sinclair will share stories and practices from over a decade of introducing mindfulness to many different groups of leaders.
Drawing on her recent book Leading Mindfully and incorporating some of the latest cognitive neuroscience research, Amanda will show how small shifts in our habits of thinking and ways of being can help us be more effective in leadership, as well as finding pleasure and enjoyment in the work.
Amanda argues that mindfulness is uniquely suited to the day-to-day of leadership in families, schools, communities and other organisations, all those situations where we are seeking to influence others towards positive outcomes.
For all of those who regularly feel captured by an expanding ‘to-do’ list with insufficient time and energy for the things that matter, mindfulness promises a simple, sustainable and powerful path.
Hosted by Leadership Ballarat and Western Region, the workshop will be experiential and interactive: an opportunity to practice mindfulness as well as learn about it.
It is being presented as part of B31 Ballarat Business Month and the 2017 Small Business Festival.
After the workshop, you’re invited to stay on at Housey Housey for Activate Ballarat from 5pm until 7pm. 
The free networking event serves as a meeting point for new Ballarat residents and established community members.
