Do you want to be happier and calmer at work?

Welcome to the Mindful Leader and Wellbeing Conference. This amazing 1-day event will teach you the skills to become more mindful and calmer in your day-to-day tasks. Mindfulness has been scientifically proven to improve your physical and mental well-being and prevent burn-out and anxiety. Mindfulness allows you to be open, calm and reflective when dealing with staff, children and families.

Mindfulness doesn’t start in the classroom, it starts in the mind.

During the conference sessions, we’ll explore what it takes to be a Mindful Leader and respond to the challenging and reactive demands of the role. You’ll discover how to incorporate mindfulness and wellness into your daily practice so that you can improve your well-being, overcome stress and reduce the cortisol levels in your bloodstream.

Being mindful is being present when working with the children. It’s being engaged, without distraction or conflict, mindfulness allows you to focus your attention on the interaction, creating a truly meaningful learning experience.

Now is the time to make wellness a resolution in 2020!

During the day we’ll explore the 5 core components of mindfulness and overall wellness. You’ll leave the conference with answers to the big questions in life and uncover what will bring you lasting, genuine wellness.

Sessions:

1. Stepping into Flow

Teaching and Leading are about being present in the moment. Listening without distraction and responding without bias. You’ll learn how you can create an environment of ‘flow’ at your service and be open and calm when dealing with children, families and staff.

2. What is mindfulness and how does it serve me as a leader?

You will discover what mindfulness is and how it can serve you as a leader. We will also dispel the common beliefs and misconceptions about meditation, wellness and mindfulness. You’ll learn how to be calm in the midst of chaos.

3. Taming the mind monkeys

In this session, we will explore and practice the different mindfulness techniques so that you can find the right tools to calm the inner chatter.

4. How to be mindful at work and setting up a daily practice.

In this final part of the series, we will discuss implementing mindfulness and wellness strategies and how it affects your teaching and management practice. We’ll also explore how you can set up a daily routine that will enable you to become a wellness warrior.

A daily wellness practise is the easiest and most reliable way to be calm, positive and resilient.
