Many of us are racing faster and taking on more. Working harder and paying attention less poses serious costs to our ability to lead, innovate and live meaningful lives. While we think we can multitask, research shows that our brain can only focus on one task at a time. We end up going 40% slower and making twice as many mistakes.

Scanning your internal and external environments provides clues to your impact. Often associated with Buddhism, mindfulness has become the subject of a substantial amount of research. A large number of organizations are teaching mindfulness to employees, including Google, McKinsey, BlackRock, Aetna, and the US Army. Josh Ehrlich, Ph.D., an expert on mindful leadership, will share, and help you build a plan to implement a sampling of the tools he has created over the last 20 years to help professionals lead more effectively.

According to the Cleveland Clinic (http://www.clevelandclinicwellness.com) “humans have an average of 60,000 thoughts daily, 95% of which are the same thoughts repeated everyday. 80% of the habitual thoughts are negative.” Since our thoughts trigger our emotions, this indicates that we're experiencing similar emotions day-to-day. Given that we're wired to focus on potential threats, we typically feel survival-based emotions such as fear, judgment, shame, frustration, and anger. In survival mode, we come from a place of scarcity, yet we are essentially creative, growth-oriented beings whose physical survival is rarely in question. Thanks to evolution, we have a brain that’s able to imagine a great future, yet too often we use it in ways that generate “mental fat,” redundant, unproductive thinking that creates unnecessary stress, anxiety, and worry.

Many of us are racing faster and taking on more. Working harder and paying attention less poses serious costs to our ability to lead, innovate and live meaningful lives. While we think we can multitask, research shows that our brain can only focus on one task at a time. We end up going 40% slower and making twice as many mistakes. Mindfulness is present, open and engaged attention. When you pay attention, you build self-awareness, which is the heart of leadership. Scanning your internal and external environments provides clues to your impact. Often associated with Buddhism, mindfulness has become the subject of a substantial amount of research. A large number of organizations are teaching mindfulness to employees, including Google, McKinsey, BlackRock, Aetna, and the US Army. Josh Ehrlich, Ph.D., an expert on mindful leadership, will share, and help you build a plan to implement a sampling of the tools he has created over the last 20 years to help professionals lead more effectively.

According to the Cleveland Clinic (http://www.clevelandclinicwellness.com) “humans have an average of 60,000 thoughts daily, 95% of which are the same thoughts repeated everyday. 80% of the habitual thoughts are negative.” Since our thoughts trigger our emotions, this indicates that we're experiencing similar emotions day-to-day. Given that we're wired to focus on potential threats, we typically feel survival-based emotions such as fear, judgment, shame, frustration, and anger. In survival mode, we come from a place of scarcity, yet we are essentially creative, growth-oriented beings whose physical survival is rarely in question. Thanks to evolution, we have a brain that’s able to imagine a great future, yet too often we use it in ways that generate “mental fat,” redundant, unproductive thinking that creates unnecessary stress, anxiety, and worry. Join us to learn about the three steps to a lean, agile mindset: override your biology, burn the mental fat, and flex your mental muscles!

Over five million people worldwide have Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), notably Crohn’s Disease or Ulcerative Colitis (UC). Both are autoimmune conditions that cause damage to the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. While neither are curable at this time, they are treatable.

Performance management and talent development create alignment and accountability for the execution of business strategies. Performance ratings have traditionally been a way to ensure the consistency of HR processes, such as compensation and promotion decisions. However ratings, and particularly a forced distribution curve, produce a series of negative side effects, including a feared conversation at year-end that leaves people disengaged and requires tedious documentation for managers. A new trend is to focus on dialogue about the work as a substitute for ratings. The approach is anchored in quarterly conversations initiated by employees. This requires senior leaders to set expectations, and HR to provide training and support to enable both employees and managers to have meaningful conversations about contribution and learning. Organizational Effectiveness expert Anika Gakovic will share how focusing on dialogue rather than ratings improves engagement and strategy execution.
Emotions can make life messy. They cloud judgment, skew reality, and short-circuit relationships. Although emotions are part of the human experience, expressing them in the workplace, especially for women, is still considered taboo. While evading emotions may cause you to lose the support and trust you need, “over emoting” might result in others perceiving you as “soft,” “difficult,” and unable to control your impulses. Leaders, regardless of the organization or community they serve, must tap into and capitalize on the power of emotions rather than avoid them. Dr. Pat Baxter, a leadership development expert who is certified in Emotional Intelligence (EI) assessment, will provide guidance on intelligently using emotions to benefit your professional and personal relationships. She’ll discuss the reasons that emotional intelligence is essential to succeeding as a leader, and how to effectively bring EI into daily practice.
