Authentic Leadership through Practical Mindfulness – 6 week course

Are you seeking new ways to manage yourself and your team?

Would you like to develop a compassionate style of leadership and in doing so embed a deeper more meaningful workplace culture?

Are you interested in creating a deeper self awareness resulting in increased focus, engagement and productivity?

The Authentic Leadership through Practical mindfulness programme is part of the ‘Catch Yerself On!’ Workplace Wellbeing portfolio delivered by Executive Coach Helen McDonnell.

This programme of Leadership has been delivered in conjunction with the Chamber since 2018 and has seen many Authentic Leaders in the North West develop their skills in managing themselves and others, resulting in increased effectiveness, productivity and wellbeing.

This 6-week programme is an introduction to practical mindfulness as a leadership technique. Authenticity comes with a deeper self-awareness and self-management of thoughts and emotions. Over the 6 weeks participants are introduced to explore and develop the skill of being present and deepening their awareness in the moment. Each week there is a theme of focus and participants are expected to introduce a mindfulness practice into their daily life.

Mindfulness is about adopting an attentive, non- judgmental awareness of the present moment and awareness of the world around you.

Learning outcomes

• Increased self understanding and self management
• A greater understanding of others
• Flexible and effective interaction with others
