WORKSHOPS

Introducing The Summer Refresh Workshop

Successful leaders INSPIRE and model optimism! But in the face of macro challenges, rapid change, and the struggles of our own daily lives, how can leaders build the emotional resilience needed to stay balanced and optimistic?  

Research indicates that GRATITUDE is the emotion MOST correlated with life satisfaction, and people who regularly acknowledge and express gratitude experience improved performance, sleep, health, and relationships - all necessities for high-level leadership performance. 

Enrollment is LIMITED to keep discussions inclusive and accessible to all participants.

About Mindful Gratitude Workshops

The Mindful Gratitude Workshop is a powerful and unique experiential learning opportunity delivered in workplaces, community centers, and anywhere people are looking for deeper connections, increased wellness, improved relationships, and a more meaningful experience of daily life.

The workshop blends three compelling research-based wellness principals– mindfulness, gratitude, and journaling –  providing participants with opportunities to practice skills in each key area as they retreat, reflect, and recharge in a relaxed and supportive environment. Each participant will receive one copy of the book, Mindful Gratitude: Practicing the Art of Appreciation, one Mindful Gratitude Journal, and one Mindful Gratitude Notecard. These tools will allow participants to practice mindful gratitude skills long after the workshop ends, giving the session an extended shelf life and deeper impact.


WORKSHOP GOALS

  1. Provide an experiential retreat from the stress and “noise” of a typical modern American day.

  2. Reduce stress by deepening appreciation of the contributions of colleagues, family members, friends, and yourself.

  3. Practice identifying, processing, and articulating opportunities for mindfulness and gratitude to help you shift perspective and attitude in real-time circumstances.

  4. Support the building of healthy family and organizational cultures that are more resilient, compassionate, and respectful
